Thank you for helping me out!! I am completely new to Wikipedia. I noticed that Expresso Addict has already deleted Template:Neighbourhood Ottawa...no problem.
In my draft article (Britannia Village, Ottawa) I was trying to insert a template for Neighbourhood, similar to the template used in the article on Belltown, Ottawa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belltown,_OttawaI hve tried a lot of things but I just can't figure out how they inserted that Neighbourhood template. Could you perhaps give me a tip.
Thank you for your consideration. Robert Neustadter (talk) 16:51, 23 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure which part of the Belltown, Ottawa, article you mean, but it looks like you figured out the infobox, so I copied and pasted the "places adjacent to..." template for you. You'll need to go in and change the place names. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:46, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks so much Jonesey95...I appreciate the help!! Robert Neustadter (talk) 12:52, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable non-free use File:Britannia Yacht Club, Ottawa and its main and inner harbours in 2022.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Britannia Yacht Club, Ottawa and its main and inner harbours in 2022.jpg. 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:

  1. 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.
  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, per the non-free content policy. 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, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
