Orphaned non-free image File:Tyne and Wear Metro logo.svg

[edit]
⚠
Thanks for uploading File:Tyne and Wear Metro logo.svg. 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 "file" 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 "File" 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.

Most successful clubs overall (1871–present)

[edit]

Hi Why did you change the heading to "Total titles won" instead of "Most successful clubs overall" it does not make any sense. Please leave your football team allegiance out of wikipedia.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.210.214.79 (talk) 17:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you had read my edit summary you'd have known that I actually explained the edit on the talk page, so please take the discussion there if you disagree with it. And what would you know of my football team allegience? If anything, our flawed attempt at ranking clubs by success overstates the achievements of my team, so stop jumping to conclusions.

Hi AJCham,

There are countless examples on the internet referring to rotational ambigrams as 'flipscript'. "flipscript" is obviously easier for artists to write than the phrase "rotational ambigram". It is by far the most common of the four 'alternate names' listed in the article, and consequently should be the last of the four to be deleted.

I have updated the "Ambigram" Talk page with the information you requested. For your convenience, here are some links where you can verify the widespread usage of the term:

   http://www.deviantart.com/?q=flipscript
   https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=flipscript
   http://statigr.am/tag/flipscript
   http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/creative-and-cool-ambigram-designs/ ("the flipscript or rotational ambigram...")

To avoid an edit war, I have not reverted your latest change. I would prefer that you do that personally once you have verified for yourself that this term has been in widespread use for more than 5 years, that it is by far the most common alternate name in use in the world today, and that the removal of this factual information was unwarranted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punyam (talkcontribs) 20:15, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The removal was not unwarranted. The supposed fact was cited to only the company which owns the trademark, not a reliable source. Any editor is justified in removing questionable statements if suitable sources have not been provided, and the onus to cite these sources rests with the editor adding the information. I see you are now trying to do this with the links provided above, although I remain unconvinced. Firstly, a search results page is not a reliable source, but even if it were the ones you provide show no indication of significant use of 'FlipScript' as a synonym for ambigram. Take the DeviantArt link for example. 11 images found when searching for flipscript, whereas there are 7849 results for 'ambigram'. The 3 search pages combined show only 35 hits, some of which are false matches - it's a fringe term at best. Blogs too are not generally acceptable as reliable sources, as there is no editorial oversight, so the last one also fails the test.
Sorry, I won't be putting it back in. Even if it was a neutral term it seems of little significance, and not worth mentioning. The fact that it is a trademark doesn't help, and it just comes across as spammy. AJCham 09:36, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
