Image:Wycombeareas.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wycombeareas.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Fritz S. (Talk) 16:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Abandoned Summit 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Abandoned Summit 2.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

License tagging for Image:Abandoned Summit 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Abandoned Summit 1.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Cheers for that mate; thought I'd add in the bit about the sex scene. Just looked at the clock on my computer and it said 29th April, didn't clock on that it'd gone midnight :P Control-alt-delete ★ user◾talk◾favs 23:25, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: IMDB

...because most info on IMDb (including the "alternate versions" sections) depends on user submissions which aren't subject to verifiability, and are potentially unreliable. Read Wikipedia:Citing IMDb for more info. If you can find the same info on another site that's considered a reliable source, then feel free to add it. Hope this helps. :) - SoSaysChappy (talk) 05:04, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Zopiclone - Class C?

Hello, do you have a cite showing that zopiclone is a class c med in the UK? Thanks. NotAnIP83:149:66:11 (talk) 16:42, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Another One

Good to find another Welshman stranded in High Wycombe! More than a coincidence that I have two cats also? I got here because I noticed that you had made a correction to the High Wycombe page. I hadn't looked at that page until a few days ago, and was quite frankly appalled at what I found there:

Much material that's extraneous to the subject or uncited - e.g. villages that are not even in the administrative district, let alone the town itself.

• Blatant inaccuracies
• Laughable grammar
• An apparent emphasis on shops, shopping and crime
• Ridiculous statements like

"The town centre (revamped at the beginning of the nineties), consists of many brand name shops"

- no pubs, cafés, restaurants, banks (to name but a few) then?

"The River Wye runs through the valley, where beech trees were cut down by the furniture industry,
forming the town centre (circa 1700)"

- the cut-down beech trees formed the town centre? It had no town centre before 1700?

Many of the picture captions are incorrect, e.g. the picture of "The Rye 2007" is clearly of the Dyke, A picture captioned "High Wycombe, The Rye" is clearly of Holywell Mead swimming pool.

To my mind, the article is a complete mess, and needs a total re-write. I hope I'm not treading on your toes by criticising something YOU might have added! I'd appreciate feedback from you.

My editing policy (though I haven't done much yet) is similar to yours. Why all the discussion and pussy-footing around by editors? If material is extraneous, inaccurate, uncited, ungrammatical, miss-spelled, biased, then it should be corrected or removed! They expend ten times the key-presses waffling about it than they would actually doing something.about it. Surely the key word is EDITOR - it at least implies some editing activity!

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

File permission problem with File:Rapnews23shot.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Rapnews23shot.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 01:40, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, the issue with this image is that they've released images under " Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Australia License" on their website which is very different to the licence on the image. Noncommercial images, for Wikipedia purposes, are not freely licenced - Peripitus (Talk) 01:41, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cocobana

The article Cocobana has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable alcoholic beverage (cheap clone of Malibu rum).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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.

Replaceable fair use File:Calais Jungle Camp Feb 2016.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Calais Jungle Camp Feb 2016.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair 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 fair 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:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion 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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:01, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
