Orphaned non-free image File:NiNemagazine logo.pdf

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:NiNemagazine logo.pdf. 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. ukexpat (talk) 21:04, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is purely procedural - so that the pdf version can be deleted. – ukexpat (talk) 21:07, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your message on my talk page

I will take a look at your article as soon as I can. – ukexpat (talk) 21:07, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed and made a few formatting and layout fixes. I also moved it to Nine magazine which is more in line with Wikipedia's naming conventions and the magazine's actual title. I also added the {{Lowercase title}} template so that it displays with a lower case "n". – ukexpat (talk) 21:30, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More re "Your message on my talk page" (above on this page)

   I just fixed part of what a colleague seems to have discouraged you from (namely acknowledging niNe. magazine's styling of its title in the title of our article on the mag), some years back, in the message you received from User: ukexpat, and noticed you have, at User:QCollins/Nine Magazine, a Redirect to what i have turned into just a former title. I am taking the action, which is generally routine when renaming a page, of "bypassing" that old Redirect, by changing it to point to the new title. In this case, unusually, the page i'm about to change is of course (with only the most implausible exceptions) your business, and if i should turn out to be wrong about what will be most convenient for you, please let me know; i'll consider it my business to fix it if i have erred in editing your link to the article.
   The new title is niNe. magazine (or NiNe. magazine), and our facilities for accommodating such titles have improved substantially over the years, leading to my doing some cleaning up that takes advantage of newer WP features. From your point of view, the change i'm about to make on your page amounts to shortening the actions you need to reach the article, by one "soft redirect". That is, it would eliminate a (new) message telling you you have to click on a link in order to reach the article that you used to reach ... uh, without lifting another finger ... that comes up immediately upon clicking to your User:QCollins/Nine Magazine page. If what i describe is confusing (as is likely!), or in any way intimidating, i can put it back (ask on my user-talk page, and/or ask User: ukexpat -- who was editing as recently as 6 hours ago, and while not an admin, is a fairly highly trusted editor who has been given several levels of (extra) permissions). (Or surely any admin will do that and/or verify the safety of accessing it by the slightly novel route). (And -- if i haven't confused you, uh, yet, i'd also be glad to explain further.)
   Thanks for your patience!

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:NiNemagazine cover02 2006.pdf

Thank you for uploading File:NiNemagazine cover02 2006.pdf. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
