Orphaned fair use image (Image:Symbolbws.gif)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Symbolbws.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 17:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Cut Out the Whitewashing of Subud Controversies

Original Message -----

From: IB To: info-en-q@wikimedia.org Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 8:32 AM Subject: Subud article official self-serving editing


Wikipedia Editors,

I am a member of Subud for 39-1/2 years and a card-carrying "helper" for over 25 years. From time to time I have logged onto your article about Subud, with the intent of keeping it honest and fair. I note there have been recent transparently official attempts to whitewash it and make all controversies disappear. If you read the editing changes by one whose pseudonym is Ganymede at the URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Subud&diff=prev&oldid=87474195 -- then it should become obvious that the official over-controlling dependent from hell has taken all the guts out of controversies and responses. I intend to re-edit it back to some semblance of condensed honesty, but question your allowing anonymous people with pseudonyms to do this. Perhaps if I knew who Ganymede is, I could disclose their self-seeking hidden agenda to you. Do we really have to engage in an editing-re-editing war?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SubudSymbol.png)

  Thanks for uploading Image:SubudSymbol.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.
