UPLB

Hi user, this concerns the UPLB entry.

Thanks for your interest in improving the page. However, I found that some of your revisions need to be edited for better grammar and composition. I would suggest that you make the revisions one at a time so the community can review them properly and make the necessary edits. Please make sure that the revisions are also backed by references. Cheers! -- Ajesg

Hi! Also concerning the UPLB article. You've misinterpreted the data in the document cited for the student and faculty populations. Please check the talk page of the said article for the explanation. Regards! -- Meynardtengco (talk) 04:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Please double check if your source for the old photos (the soft copy of Centennial Panorama uploaded at slideshare) indeed does not infringe any copyright. The book is relatively new/recent. -- Meynardtengco (talk) 00:16, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

The source for the old photos is indeed new and yes the book is still copyrighted. However, the photos themselves are not. They've expired years ago. There is no copyright infringement since the photos are the ones in question, not the book (layout/scan of a page/contents). Moray An Par (talk) 02:29, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Anonymity

Hi. I did edits at the article you are discussing with an IP, not my nick, because I discovered she was not in prison, and I read violent association things (not RS), and I did not want my identity associated with such an article. I already discussed this with other editors elsewhere, after discovering about the violence and not being in prison. I ask that you not draw attention to me as an editor, and I ask that you remove comments about me on the WT project page for this reason. What you observe there is correct, but not for the reasons you thought. If I edited with my WP name on those articles, and not an IP, I made an error. Thanks. :) 71.121.31.183 (talk) 03:15, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Well that complicates things. But considering that you've already made edits on the Pear Asian page with your account, it's not hard to deduce that your IP and your account have the same person behind. I would suggest that you just stick with your account. That way you'll not be disclosing your IP. It's safer that way. It's actually quite easy to trace your home address through your IP address. Just limit the amount of personal information that you disclose in your account and you should be safe. Moray An Par (talk) 03:30, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
That is not good. I am not editing at home, but at a shared IP at a business. I had no idea an IP can be traced to an address. That is not good for me. I thought she was in prison because I read the SEC that they successfully prosecuted her. But it turns out that they successfully her, and prosecuted her husband David Korem the same month, but in a different case, and he is in prison (he only got two years, for his 3rd felony conviction. Go figure. I think it is best for me not to draw any attention at all. I hope you don't mind, but I blanked the talk page section at the project page so as not to get any more attention than I already am doomed to, and anyway, I admit to it looking weird, for the reason above. Yikes. These guys are violent. She is not the only one in their group. 71.121.31.183 (talk) 03:38, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Well, I won't restore it myself given that it was done under good faith but I don't think other editors will agree. You can try using http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp . Input your IP and check if the location that it displays is actually your location. Usually it'll display the address of your ISP, but there are times that it'll actually display the personal address of the user. Moray An Par (talk) 03:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

University of the Philippines Los Baños GAN

Please don't start the review page when nominating. I have asked an admin to delete this false start. If you start a page in this way it sits ion the WP:GAN page and appears to be under review, so it is a sure way for the nomination to be overlooked. Please read the instructions carefully, many of the GAN functions are performed by bots so all you need to do is to put the GAN template on the talk page. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:43, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

overlinking, re: campus of uplb article

Hi there, just wanted to bring this one up, because I've edited wikis so far with the understanding that links in a photo caption do not count as a repeat of a link in the body. Quoting the MOS re: repeated links...

"There are exceptions to this guideline, including these: "'where the first link is in an infobox, navbox or similar meta-content.'"

Don't captions count as meta-content? I checked that article for other links before I created that link,and found none other than the caption. I dunno if I really wanna push for this, as the specific case doesn't really matter that much to me, except that, as previously stated, I tend to advocate for ease of browsing for the user being more important than, er, layout neatness. And I find myself wondering what your stand on this might be. :D Just so I know, I guess. - Alternativity (talk) 15:15, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh my. I hadn't realized you'd gotten the article nominated for GA. Nice work. I think my question holds, although again I point out it's really just a question for clarificatory purposes more than actual action. - Alternativity (talk) 15:18, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Schools

Deletions

Hi Moray An Par. The purpose of the schools project is to improve articles rather than make lists for mass deletion. For example, all schools are exempt from deletion at WP:CSD#A7, so that does not mean they need to be sent to WP:AfD instead. Our usual practice is that non notable school articles are redirected to the education section of the page about their locality - a discussion at AfD is not necessary for this. Please read the various pages of the school project that you have joined, and in particular, follow the links to any pages that concern notability, AfD outcomes, and deletion. In the meantime please do not list any more schools for deletion, and do consider helping the project by improving the schools listed for attention on the project page. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact me directly on my talk page, or one of the project coordinators. You can also post a message at WT:WPSCH, or ask a question at WP:WPSCH/H. Thanks for your continued support of the schools project! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes. I am aware of that. However, if I had redirected them all instead to their town articles, that surely will be perceived by many as too drastic. That is why I nominated them for afd; to receive opinions from other editors. We are both aware that many afds result in redirects. Having had them nominated is a good way to build community consensus if they really should be redirected. Moray An Par (talk) 12:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

For these schools you need to check more carefully if they have a high school element, as every one I have checked does so. High schools can escape at AFD. Please do not mass nominate schools for deletion. And if you don't intent to notify people properly do not nominate at all. Remember the aim here is to build an encyclopedia, not to destroy it by deleting articles. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:15, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I did check if they had high school components, however, some may have slipped me given their sheer number. That is why I am thankful that you checked them. I'll heartily withdraw those with high school components. I too believe that they are automatically notable (well that is per our current school article guidelines). There is nothing wrong in mass deletion if the topics do not deserve their own articles. However, this must be supported by other editors. That is why we propose them first and not delete them on sight. I do intend to notify them all, that is why I asked if their is a bot for this purpose since the process of notifying them all can be quite time consuming. I'll start informing the rest by the time I finish writing this reply. I'll inform it in the nomination page when I have informed them all. Deletion is not evil (although this is not policy, but I believe we can both agree on this). Deleting articles which are not notable is just as important as writing those which are. Moray An Par (talk) 12:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi again. I see now that you have only been around for a month or so, so it's quite possible that you may not have read all the relevant policies and guidelines yet. I'll admit that for the 'Encyclopedia anyone can edit' there are an awful lot of rules and stuff that must be slogged through, understood, and adhered to - that's the downside of it. As Graeme correctly points out, we are here to build an encyclopedia, not to destroy it by deleting articles. School articles, however non notable, unreferenced, and badly written, are hardly nefarious and certainly very few of them are posted by companies trying to get some free advertising, or vandal or attack pages. That's why in fact, we generally don't delete them at all, and why they are exempt from WP:CSD#A7. High schools are all inherently notable, and primary schools, unless they really have some special reason for a page of their own, are almost all uncontroversially redirected to their locality without needing discussion. You could do this your self in the time it took me to go through the schools on your AfD list. In any event, before doing CSD, PROD, or AfD on any article, you are expected to do some significant research first, such as I did by checking the Internet for all those schools on your list. You don't even need to make your own mind up whether you personally believe articles should be deleted or not - we have a maze of guidelines that provide you with all the criteria, and all you need to do is to apply them.
I strongly suggest that you take a couple of hours to read these pages:
When you've done all that, you'll find that the quickest way to recognition for your work is by creating, repairing, expanding, and improving articles. Of course, it takes more time by copyediting or looking stuff up on the Internet and in the library, but most of the tens of thousands of editors here do just that. That said, if deletion is really something you can't live without, it would be certainly more helpful to the project if you were to track down all the real spam articles we get from the Philippines, and other Asian countries, and anywhere else for that matter.
As I said before, if you need any help or any policies explaining, don't hesitate to contact me directly on my talk page; or talk to Graeme or any of the other admins who have offered you advice. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:37, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for helping me out and researching if they had high school components. I'll keep those policies in mind. I have no strong opinions against redirecting them instead of deleting them. However, since those still nominated and not withdrawn are still to establish their notability, my opinion against them having their own articles stands. By the way, next time that I do see such articles (elementary and pre-elementary schools which are not notable) should I redirect them right away per WP:BOLD? As I said before, I didn't want to raise suspicions from other editors who would notice me suddenly redirecting lots of articles (around 50 on this nomination). I though that it would result in an edit war. That is why I asked for other editors opinions through the afd. Moray An Par (talk) 13:50, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
There are just a few rare exceptions where a school article can be deleted. One is in the case of high street language institutes that are just after some free advertising, and another is when an article is a blatant copy of a copyrighted website or other source. I think the point I am making is that according to our guidelines, generally no school articles need to be deleted. I batch redirect nn schools all the time; and once they have been redirected, they don't have their own article - put another way, it's a kind of 'soft' delete. Because it is a perfectly standard procedure, it won't arouse suspicion of any kind, or cause an edit war; remember, most of these Filipino school articles have been created by write-and-run WP:SPA who have long since forgotten they ever posted an article here. That's why so many of the pages have slumbered for years with 'noref' templates on them - nobody is bothered.
Any editors who nominate or vote for deletion of a school at AfD, do so because they are themselves unaware of the special conditions for schools. As I've said before, nobody knows all the rules - there are around 5,000 pages of them and not even we admins know them all. What we do know quite well however, are the rules of the areas we specialise in. Three of my specialities are indeed deletion policies, New Page Patrol, and schools. At Wikipedia, I just follow the accepted procedures, and try my best to help those who are not yet familiar with them. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
On the option to redirect, this is so that the content is merged into the target article, so an article about a town can include sections about each school in it. The idea is not to delete the useful content, but to have it in a more useful place. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:35, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Yes, indeed, Graeme. At the risk of my post above getting TLDR, I should have added that it's a good opportunity to start the education section on a town page that doesn't yet have one. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Moray An Par, you seem to have forgotten to merge the content of the school articles that are becoming redirects. The condition of having a redirect is that the material can still be read as some kind of paragraph or section in the locality article. So what you should do is go back the the history of the redirected school articles and copy and paste the useful content to the locality article with an edit summary that says where the content came from. Then Jack and Jill can go to bed! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Oh I see. I did forget that. I'll work on that. Thanks for reminding me. Moray An Par (talk) 10:05, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Remember our aim to create the compendium of all human knowledge, so we should write about things that are not so notable that they deserve their own article, and that writing should go into an appropriate broader topic. The schools are in this situation. When the closure is merge and redirect then the text should be included. Of course it can be trimmed to remove cruft, but the reliable information should go in.

Oblation Run

I think that having a list of the Campuses where Alpha Phi Omega does do some sort of Naked Run would be useful in the article since it isn't exclusive to UPD anymore (though certainly most well known and longest existing at UPD). You probably have better access to Filipino sources that I do (I can't read Tagalog or any other Filipino language), however my access for Alpha Phi Omega might be better (I'm on the International Relations Cmte for Alpha Phi Omega-USA). I think it would be a hoot if we could get it to GA...Naraht (talk) 11:05, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll do research on that. I'd probably have the list by 2 hours from now or, if not, by tomorrow. As for making it a GA, that's a nice idea, and I promise to help in the process. I cannot pledge to do it now though since my attention is still on De La Salle University. I'll start working on the run as soon as I get the La Salle article done. Moray An Par (talk) 11:20, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Great! I've heard of runs being done by chapters at non-UP schools by Alpha Phi Omega chapters in the spirit of the Oblation Run. Some mention should be included even if there is dispute over whether they are Oblation Runs...Naraht (talk) 15:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Jack and Jill School et al

I am in the process of undoing a few of your redirects. It is fine to redirect elementary schools that don't give any indication of notability but substantial articles and high schools should not be redirected. Substantial pages on elementary schools that you don't consider notable can be individually listed at AFD. TerriersFan (talk) 14:57, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

DLSU Bar exam explosion?

Do you expect that an article will be done on the 2010 DLSU bar explosion? The one they arrested an APO brod for?Naraht (talk) 00:19, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes. I was actually surprised how there wasn't an article about it given that it was so well reported by media here in the Philippines. I intend on starting it sometime in the future. Nepomuceno is an APO brod. But I was careful not to mention it in the article since it wasn't really relevant unless I discuss that authorities believe that the blast was, in part, a frat war. Discussing such detail should be reserved for the article itself. Was it reported by media in your country as well? Moray An Par (talk) 02:02, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm an APO-USA Brother, but on International Relations for APO-USA. and get email alerts for Alpha Phi Omega google news. I was looking for a link on it when I added the theme for the 2010 Oblation Run and noticed it was on the DLSU template, but a redlink..Naraht (talk) 04:00, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Need a little help:)

Hi, I see that you're actively creating new articles related to UP and DLSU. I myself worked on some articles related to UST. Unfortunately, one got deleted mostly because of violations in photo licensing and vandalism (improper editing by some). Could you help me restore an article? The article is University of Santo Tomas seals and emblems. I can't really figure out how to put photos without violating Wikipedia rules. Can the articles deleted before still be recovered? A similar article with a different name was created by another author, but it also got deleted for the reason that it's a gloried gallery. I hope you can help me on this matter. Thanks! Pampi1010 (talk) 18:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for noticing my efforts in Philippine universities but I would like to correct your statement. I am not sure what is your definition of a new article but for me it is creating new pages. The only new page that I've created is History of De La Salle University, which was not even my own content. So I don't really create new article but merely improve on existing ones.
As for your second question, I haven't seen your article so I cannot comment much. You didn't tell me what was its name, the link for the afd, and when was it deleted. Yes, articles that are deleted can still be recovered. Nothing ever really gets deleted here. In Wikipedia, deletion is merely hiding the page from everyone who is not an admin. See Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion.
I am not sure if I can support you in recovering it. I have doubts if UST logos are notable enough and have significant third-party/outside coverage to deserve their/its own article(s). Moray An Par (talk) 00:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Ok. I took the trouble of finding it. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University of Santo Tomas seals and emblems. I agree with them. However, if you would like to work on other UST topics like the university article, history, people or individual colleges, I can very much be of assistance. Moray An Par (talk) 01:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
That's a quick one, thanks! That article is the only one I'm itching to recreate. Now, with the link you've given, I'm gonna ask them to undelete it and make the necessary improvements. Maybe spare some photos for a while till I figure out how to put them properly. I see that the major problem in the article is its lack of encyclopedic content... I was afraid that I have to deal with similar problems before that's why I'm not keen on reviving it. Overwhelmed too by the red warnings of photo licensing.
Anyway, you're pretty active and so good at improving articles. Keep it up! I didn't even notice before that UPLB had such articles till some got higher ratings. I also noticed that UP has a Wikiproject and it's downright extensive. As much as I want to create one for UST, my knowledge of Wikipedia engineering is so limited, and maybe UST is a topic not big enough to have one. Thanks again Pampi1010 (talk) 03:18, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Of course it's big enough, you'd be surprised how there are WikiProjects on individual television shows. I mean we can both agree that a four-hundred year old university is much more significant than a series with 50 episodes. The real question is the number of those willing to edit UST articles. I believe we have both realized that there are not too many Filipino contributors here, much less UST alumni. If you're really determined to create WikiProject University of Santo Tomas, I'd suggest that you recruit Wikipedians first. You can start with UST alumni (I think User:TheCoffee is one, I am not that sure about it though) and Wikipedians who had major contributions on UST articles. Good luck! Moray An Par (talk) 03:42, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Narath! Pampi1010 (talk) 17:21, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Moray An Par! I was able to get the attention of the admin to edit the article again. [[1]] I may be able to come up with new content, but I might face the similar problems on the photos. So you see, the article is all about the college logos, and since all UST colleges have Wikipedia articles, my plan is to get the logos from there. I don't have such a good idea, do I? Pampi1010 (talk) 03:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
I suggest that you change all logos to "File:example.png". Wikipedia does not allow displaying of fair use photos in the usernamespace. Now with the article, the real problem is notability. Are the logos notable/significant outside the university? This would usually be indicated by significant coverage by third-party sources (not published by UST). Unless this is satisfied, then the article will just become, as they said, a glorified gallery. You need outside sources that describe that logos and its history mainly. Moray An Par (talk) 03:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks! What do you mean by changing? Should I just change the 'File' and file extension? Or upload a new one? When I tried changing the 'File' from 'Image' and putting .png instead of .jpg, the photo can't be viewed anymore. Pampi1010 (talk) 06:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Mara Clara

even though it might not be currently broadcast, it has not died or disappeared. It still is "a series that aired on ..." Active Banana (bananaphone 16:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I modified the lead sentence a little bit more to make the broadcast dates more clear that it is not a currently broadcast show. Active Banana (bananaphone 16:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Palacký University of Olomouc/GA1

Thank you for reviewing. I will certainly pay attention to the issues raised. Especially I had not realized that they changed the whole web page, and thus half of the citations became dead. Cimmerian praetor (talk) 15:51, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

DYK nomination of 2010 Philippine Bar exam bombing

  Hello! Your submission of 2010 Philippine Bar exam bombing at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Dabomb87 (talk) 16:55, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the work you have put into the article University of the Philippines Los Baños. The article is rather impressive although a few small fix ups need to be done before this article can be promoted to GA-status. I have put the review on hold for seven days to allow you and other editors to help address the concerns noted within the review. I look forward to working with you towards bringing this article to GA-status. Leventio (talk) 08:19, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I'll address them shortly. Moray An Par (talk) 08:27, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

INC

The INC article has been unusually stable recently, so I'm hoping to continue the trend. I noticed that you deleted some material. Could you explain your deletions on the talk page please?   Will Beback  talk  08:07, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm de-adverting the article hence the large change in its history section. All statements in its history are now cited while all claims previously there that cannot be supported or mundane were removed. As for the Organization and Architecture section, don't you think it's better now. It's more detailed where it actually explains the INC structure and how the average kapilya looks respectively, while giving their backgrounds and other interesting info. All these are cited. As for the doctrine section, I refactored it into beliefs and practices sections to conform with other articles. As for the beliefs section, I only changed the lead so far and added a section on INC's views on the Bible. Again, these are all cited.
If you have concerns regarding the POV or dubious statements in my edits or in the INC's article, I advise that you state them in the talk page for transparency's sake, and to allow other users to participate in the discussion. Moray An Par (talk) 08:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Sorry if I came off too aggressively. I'm all in favor of improving the article, I'd just worn down by fights I have little understanding of. But I still recommend using the talk page to discuss significant edits, before or after the fact.   Will Beback  talk  10:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
No problem. I'll post in the talk page to consult other editors when I start editing potentially controversial sections such as its criticism section and a section on inter-religious relations (or something like that) that I plan on adding up once I get the time. Moray An Par (talk) 05:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I don't see any talk page discussion. You're also making a lot of edits with no edit summaries for explanation, including edits that delete sourced material. It'd be helpful if you'd communicate more with your fellow editors so we can understand what you're doing and why.   Will Beback  talk  00:06, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
There. Moray An Par (talk) 00:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Cayetano Paderanga Jr.'s photo

Hi, the photo came from HIS personal Facebook page, not just a fan page. As you may have noticed, the image is high-res and was emailed directly to me by Sec. Paderanga himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbplipke (talkcontribs) 09:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I do not distinctly remember this photo. As you may have noticed, I have participated in numerous deletion nominations. Please provide the name of this deleted file. Having it come from his personal Facebook page doesn't matter. And neither does him e-mailing it to you. We can only have that photo here if he agrees to irrevocably release it under a free licence (such as Creative Commons licenses, etc.). Moray An Par (talk) 13:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Daniel Coughlin

Greetings. I noticed that Talk:Daniel Coughlin/GA1 had been open for a while, and it appears the nominator will not be able to finish the nomination. You may have to close it as unsuccessful. Just wanted to make sure it hadn't slipped under your radar. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 19:02, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Please see the procedures at WP:GAC for failing an article.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:19, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

De La Salle University

I finished the good article review and closed it as a failed review. Many of the issues are laid out on the talk page but I did not think that they could reasonably be fixed in one week. In addition, modification of the lead and primary sources will change the article in a way that I believe a new review will be needed. Once these issues are fixed, I encourage you to renominate the article as I believe it has the potential of a good article. Ryan Vesey Review me! 15:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Armin Luistro

Greetings. I understand you're on partial wikibreak until October. Back in early June you nominated Armin Luistro as a Good Article, and I'm considering reviewing it. I was wondering if you'll be available to make changes if I find issues. If you'll be busy, I understand... if so, I'll just review it as "pass / fail", with no changes expected. But if you'll be available, I'll be more likely to put it on hold and suggest improvements. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 18:22, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Not having received a reply, I went ahead and assumed you are currently busy. – Quadell (talk) 23:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Armin Luistro

The article Armin Luistro you nominated as a good article has failed  ; see Talk:Armin Luistro for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. – Quadell (talk) 23:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:De La Salle Brothers.jpg

 

Thank you for uploading File:De La Salle Brothers.jpg. 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 within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 06:41, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Orphaned non-free image File:DLS Centennial.png

 

Thanks for uploading File:DLS Centennial.png. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
