Replaceable fair use File:Air Algerie, AH5017 Crash, Nationality graph.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Air Algerie, AH5017 Crash, Nationality graph.jpg. 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:
- 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. - 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. 9kat (talk) 20:54, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Taylor Swift Billboard Photoshoot 2014.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Taylor Swift Billboard Photoshoot 2014.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 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:42, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Your recent editing history at Media blackout shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Guy Macon (talk) 02:49, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- You are not providing reliable or factual sources that support your claims. You are pushing an agenda, something Wikipedia is not meant to do. You have also reverted multiple edits by multiple people in favor of your own view, which is the exact thing you now accuse me of doing. You cannot change a word's definition to fit your agenda. --AvatarQX (talk) 03:06, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- From WP:EW: "An editor who repeatedly restores their preferred version is edit warring, regardless of whether those edits are justifiable: "But my edits were right, so it wasn't edit warring" is no defense." 3 editors, one an administrator, have restored the material you keep deleting. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:04, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- You are the only one who has reverted any of my changes. Someone else removed it during this time too, but I was not involved in that, nor the subsequent reversal of their changes (they had a different reason). I have opened a dispute resolution to allow a third party to come to a conclusion about this. --AvatarQX (talk) 03:06, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- Also, for future reference: "Avoid posting a generic warning template if you are actively involved in the edit war yourself; it can be seen as aggressive. Consider writing your own note to the user specifically appropriate for the situation, with a view to explicitly cooling things down." Let's stop this aggression and let a third-party resolve this issue. AvatarQX (talk) 03:17, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
