Replaceable fair use File:Safe house in Faisalabad where Abu Zubaydah was captured.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Safe house in Faisalabad where Abu Zubaydah was captured.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. Hammersoft (talk) 19:47, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. IQinn (talk) 08:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Links in citations

It seems like you have very frequently linked to the authors of the articles you cite when using {{Cite news}}. Many times, these reporters are non-notable, and the redlinks are unlikely to ever be filled correctly. For example, is anyone ever going to write an aricle on Mike Melia, an unremarkable AP reporter? Perhaps it would be better to only link to reporters who already have articles. -LtNOWIS (talk) 03:32, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NOINDEX

Could you please keep up with your promise to add the NOINDEX tag to the pages in your user space?

This has been a point of tension for over a year now and you still frequently do not add the tag. I have just done it for you again here. Thank you IQinn (talk) 00:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please recheck. Please note the file bears a {{userspace draft}}. Please recognize that {{Userspace draft}} includes __NOINDEX__. Geo Swan (talk) 08:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
