Please use the {{help me}} template appropriately.
The {{help me}} template is for help in using Wikipedia, not for unrelated issues. If you would like to ask such a question, replace the code {{help me-inappropriate}} on this page with {{help me}} to reactivate the help request. Alternatively, you can also ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance.

Just a suggested edit to perhaps note Jimmy Carter was *technically* in the Navy as he was a member of the Naval Academy starting in 1943 (during the war) but didn't graduate until 1946 (after the war). Thanks!

Please use {{Edit semi-protected}} with a message (in the same style as above) on the article's talk page. Cheers - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 15:13, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:King Arthurs Hall - google earth 2024.png

Thanks for uploading File:King Arthurs Hall - google earth 2024.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 19:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, sorry, first time image adder. Felt the article needed a "what does it really look like" image better than ground-images gave.

From what I can see @ Google: "Screenshots from Google Maps can be used in Wikimedia if you:

Provide attribution to Google and any data providers

Don't alter the product interface

Don't use screenshots out of context "

...sorry for my ignorance, should I have chosen another license framework to post it as? Again, thanks for your patience.

There is no reason to apologize.

First of all, it should be understood that non-free images should be used only as a last resort. If it significantly increases the usefulness of the text of the article. In this case, as I understand, you wanted to supplement the article with a "top view"? Such a photo can be taken by anyone at any time. Therefore, I do not see what could be done to prevent this image from being removed. — Ирука¹³ 20:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
