Replaceable fair use File:Deji olatunji.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Deji olatunji.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:02, 25 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Deji olatunji.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Deji olatunji.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:28, 25 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Non-free images

edit

Hi MikeyScott1. Non-free images of still living persons are pretty much never allowed to be uploaded and used except in certain specific cases like the ones explained in item 1 of WP:NFC#UUI. This is because that it's assumed that even if a free equivalent image cannot currently be found, it's reasonable to expect that one can be created by someone somewhere at sometime which could then be uploaded and used for primary identification purposes per WP:FREER. This is pretty much why a file like File:Deji olatunji.png is never going to be accepted, and will continue to be tagged for deletion no matter how many times you re-upload it.

Moreover, non-free content is only allowed to be used in the article namespace per WP:NFCC#9; so, this file and other non-free files cannot be used in User:MikeyScott01/sandbox/Deji Olatunji. The Olatunji file has been removed multiple times already from your user sandbox draft for this reason, but you keep re-adding it. It's OK if you didn't know about the Wikipedia’s non-free content use policy, but please don't continue to re-add that file to that page again. If you've got any questions about this, you can ask them below or at WP:MCQ. — Marchjuly (talk) 23:12, 30 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi MikeyScott01. It looks like the userspace draft you're currently working on at User:MikeyScott01/sandbox/Deji Olatunji might be the same as Deji Olatunji which was an article that was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oladeji Olatunji. Articles with the name "Deji Olatunji" were previously recreated and subsequently redeleted so many times per Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion that an administrator named JamesBWatson locked the page by salting the title to prevent any further disruption. This means that nobody can create an article about Deji Olatunji using the name "Deji Olatunji" or any other name without first getting administrator approval.

Your account is fairly new, so perhaps you had nothing to do with any of the previous disruption; if that's the case, you should explain this to JamesBWatson and that you are in good faith working on a draft and what you need to do to have the draft approved. If, on the other hand, you are connected to the previous disruption and just created a new account just in the hope that nobody would notice, then you need to carefully read Wikipedia:Username policy#Using multiple accounts and Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Evasion and enforcement because not only will you not be able to create an article about Deji Olatunji, but your account is almost certainly going to be blocked if you continue to try and do so. Blocks apply to the person, not the account; so, if you're still currently blocked from editing for whatever reason, then that block will still apply to any new account you might create. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:08, 1 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Questions about other accounts

edit

What is the connection, if any, between this account and the account "Justinly87"? Also, there are a few other accounts that look as though they may be connected: have you used any other accounts? The editor who uses the pseudonym'/small> "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:31, 1 October 2018 (UTC) Reply

Hi @JamesBWatson:. I did reply to you on your talk page but will reply here too to clear everything up. I am working on the article in my sandbox as part of a university assignment; I am working on this page with absolute good faith and to my knowledge am complying with wikipedia's standards ie well written, verifiable, broad in coverage, neutral and stable however does lack illustration but I am doing my best to find free images. I have no knowledge or affiliation with the account "Justinly87" and this is my first time working on an article of this topic, or any major article edit for that matter. I hope this clears things up and that my draft can be approved however if need be I am happy to clear this up more. MikeyScott01 (talk) 07:40, 4 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:02, 1 October 2018 (UTC) Reply
