Thanks for uploading File:Bluefield State College Logo.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) 02:13, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

It's sad how many articles have been deleted due to this human believing in Existence ≠ Notability. I'm sure your existence is notable to your parents but everyone else on the internet doesn't give two craps. Should we delete you for not being notable to the masses? You and the rest of the moderation team are hacks for removing all of those pages of unused/abandoned highways. I'm glad I stopped donating to Wikipedia, we need another form of documentation for the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.172.133.118 (talk) 20:33, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Bitmapped,

I must apologize for speaking so harshly to you about something so mundane that was not a fault of your own. There is no excuse, but I was just upset to come across an interesting old/removed article that I had stumbled upon in a link on an online message board. I wish that we could archive every single article & topic out there, but I understand there are limitations to what should actually be kept online due to storage & monetary limitations. Again, my apologies for this rant. You did not deserve to have my unfounded anger thrown in your direction. 69.172.133.118 (talk) 13:25, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of WVWS

The article WVWS has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
