Orphaned non-free image (File:Album Glaxo Babies Dreams Interrupted.jpg)
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Album Glaxo Babies Dreams Interrupted.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 "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. Skier Dude (talk) 04:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

re: your message
[edit]Hi Cogoal, I've left a reply to your message on my talk page -- Marek.69 talk 06:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
I have made a very rough translation an created the article and placed a translation banner. It needs referencing however. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 04:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for sorting that out. I have had a go at expanding the article, however it is still far from finished, so I'll return over the coming weeks. One thing I noticed is that the spelling of Organization/Organisation is not consistent throughout associated articles, including my own mistakes! I believe there is a facility to correct this, any chance of you pointing me in the right direction? Cogoal (talk) 10:21, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know of any automated tool. There is a thing called Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser, but I haven't had much joy with it. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 10:24, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hmmm... I think I'll stick with a workaround of redirecting from Subway Organisation and correcting the spelling whenever I come across it.Cogoal (talk) 10:55, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Adge_Cutler,_EP,_Scrumpy_and_Western.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Adge_Cutler,_EP,_Scrumpy_and_Western.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:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - 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. Melesse (talk) 18:25, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Adge Cutler, EP, Scrumpy and Western.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Adge Cutler, EP, Scrumpy and Western.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ╟─TreasuryTag►stannator─╢ 17:53, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- This was legitimately deleted by User:Nyttend as album covers can only be used under fair use rationale on articles about the album concerned. Might I suggest that you request deletion yourself by blanking the page, as continuing with this might lead to sanctions. I did my best with the fair use rationale, but as none of the articles is about the album, that line failed. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 18:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Scrumpy & Western EP, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: The Wurzels. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:13, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Note
[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. As the contents of your page was identical to The Wurzels, I've have to turn this into a rediret per WP:CWW. Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 08:39, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Christmas Card
[edit]
I do not want to pour cold water on this exercise, and you may feel, completely justifiably, that I am picking you out amongst scores/hundreds/thousands. What concerns me about such a list is the notability and referencing of the articles. I have spent the best part of the last few days trawling through [Category:British independent record labels] and various affiliated lists/articles, to discover that the bulk of the articles therein often relate to record labels that, in themselves, are possibly not notable, and their articles definitely not referenced. Look at my comments, for what they are worth, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies/Record Labels Task Force.
My view, which you are at liberty to take or leave, is that the potential articles to be contained within such a listing, should actually meet basic Wikipedia criteria. In other words, Spodgle Records which released one 13 inch single of the Clifton Bridge Cretins classic, "We Hate Bath, Big Time", might be appropriate for a blog based fansite, but is not an encyclopedic article, whichever methodology one might look at.
Feel free to disagree with me vehemently; however I did see The Stranglers at Bridlington Spa in 1977, so historically that might give me a slight advantage. Best wishes,

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:39, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
