Orphaned non-free media (File:Nba live 09 screen.jpg)

  Thanks for uploading File:Nba live 09 screen.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:41, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:24 season 7 cast.jpg

 

A tag has been placed on File:24 season 7 cast.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Replaceable fair use Image:Rickybrandonslam.jpg

 
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Rickybrandonslam.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 23:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: John Wall (basketball)

Re your message: Since I did not do the deletion, it would be best to pursue undeletion by filing a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:50, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

In fact, it would be a bit better to talk to the deleting administrator before starting a deletion review. decltype (talk) 02:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Is there a reason for your exclusion of his measurements in the lead? Boomtish (talk) 07:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

All basketball-related GA and FA's have the respective player measurements mentioned in the article lead. The lead is a summary of the entire article. Boomtish (talk) 14:43, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Special ops.jpg

I removed your image from the article Modern Warfare 2 becuase it is not informative at all. Menu screens are not importnat to the article and do not show game play or features. Since people keep adding too many images to the article, I started a discussion on the aticle's talk page about limiting non-free image use. =/= Ironoclast (Talk) 19:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Michael Gilchrist

Re your message: Hello again! Any administrator can delete pages, but in this particular case, if I were delete the article, it would be against the deletion policy. There is some claim to notability regarding him and the article's deletion was contested once before. Therefore, if you think that the article should be deleted, you would need to pursue its deletion through the articles for deletion process. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:53, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
