Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The Romanes may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. FreplySpang (talk) 22:54, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Romanes Logo.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Romanes Logo.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:07, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Wiki vanity

edit

Hello, I am FlareNUKE, and I would like to explain about the article you edited (Romanes), now, I am assuming this is some garage band you have started with your friends, but thing is. Wiki has a rule against this. Don't feel bad, one of my first edits was the addition of a band So Fweet; it was quickly deleted. Wikipedia usually only accepts commercial or famous bands. Another rule you've went against is that you should rarely edit a page if it deals with you. --FlareNUKE 07:19, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ali Lohan 7.jpg

edit

Thank you for uploading Image:Ali Lohan 7.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.67.104.27 (talk) 01:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Ali Lohan.jpg)

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:Ali Lohan.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. 72.67.104.27 (talk) 01:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:PAREF Northfield logo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 17:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Deletion discussion about Comin' Home Newcastle

edit

Hello, Vinnimisa Rocknroll, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comin' Home Newcastle whether the article Comin' Home Newcastle should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Comin' Home Newcastle, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Thanks again for your contributions! SmartSE (talk) 14:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:GI Joe - The Rise of Cobra OST.jpg

edit
 

The file File:GI Joe - The Rise of Cobra OST.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:37, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
