Orphaned non-free image File:Helpful information about your telephone service Manhattan 1940.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Helpful information about your telephone service Manhattan 1940.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. Stefan2 (talk) 20:47, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Stefan2: could you please help me out here. I referenced File:Helpful information about your telephone service Manhattan 1940.jpg in a footnote on page 4-1-1 in my edit of that page at 20:26, 28 May 2014 (UTC). Later I added two other file pages which further document the use of 4-1-1 and 1-1-3 as to date and place, but in all three cases the files appear to be orphaned, i.e. no usage on wikipedia shows. Must I have the images show on the page? Shouldn't <ref> New York Telephone Directory for Manhattan, 1940, page 1</ref> count as a usage and keep the files from being orphaned? Thanks Jrcovert (talk) 09:52, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Linking to a file does not constitute use of the file, and besides such use would violate WP:NFCC#8.

Are you really sure that the file still is copyrighted? Did the phone book publisher really submit a copyright renewal application 28 years after the phone book was made? Phone books are usually only interesting when they are new, not 28 years later (and most pages are uncopyrightable per Feist v. Rural). You can probably change the copyright tag to {{PD-US-not renewed}}. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:14, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Stefan2: Thanks very much for pointing out the {{PD-US-not renewed}} possibility. I'm changing the tags and the descriptions for all three files now. Feist v. Rural might not apply, since that was a case about mechanically copying and republishing the name and address listings in a separate directory, whereas my use is an actual copy of a page of introductory material. Should I really check for non-renewal, or just assume that it wasn't renewed? And finally, the page is still "orphaned" even though it is linked from the article. That may not matter if PD content is not subject to orphanage deletion, but it seems to be a technical issue unrelated to copyright -- I would think that the usage tracking system should find footnote usage, and I would like the usage tracked in any case. How can I accomplish that cleanly? Thanks again. Jrcovert (talk) 11:00, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Friday of Sorrows, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Communion and Tract. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Jrcovert (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 2001:470:8944::0/48. Place any further information here. This is my assigned IPv6/48. Please allow me to be an IPv6 adopter.

Decline reason:

You are not blocked. You were immediately able to continue editing after placing this request. Yamla (talk) 10:02, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Jrcovert (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My IP address block is 2001:470:8944::0/48. This is my assigned IPv6/48. Please allow me to be an IPv6 adopter. Yamla previously declined the request saying that I was not blocked. The reason I was able to edit after placing this request was that I had turned off IPv6 for Wikipedia! When I attempt to edit pages other than my own talk page with IPv6 turned back on, I see the message "Editing from 2001:470:8000:0:0:0:0:0/33 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s): The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy, such as a VPN service."

Accept reason:

You've been around a long time although your edits are infrequent, but having examined them, you appear to be a constructive and trustworthy editor. Therefore I have given you the "IP block exempt" user right, which should prevent you from getting caught in range blocks in the future. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:17, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
