Orphaned non-free media (File:Pippi Longstocking book cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Pippi Longstocking book cover.jpg. 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 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:54, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Problem with Harold Brierley page

Hello,

I'm new to Wikipedia. I edited my page slightly since you flagged it for speedy deletion. I do not believe it to be blatant advertising. It highlights the history of an important business figure, much like Richard Branson's page or Kenneth Chenault's. I am working on connecting the citations, and there are more to be added.

If you could unflag my post, I would surely appreciate it. And/or if you could point out any further problems with it, it would be of help in editing to meet the guidelines.

Thanks,

Proposal for the Creation of an Animation Barnstar

Hi, Slgrandson. I noticed that you are a member of the Animation WikiProject and wanted to share a proposal with you. There have been several times that I have wanted to award an Animation Barnstar to a fellow editor, only to be disappointed that one still doesn't exist. The closest thing that we have right now is the Film Barnstar, but this is only applicable in certain situations, since animation can be found in both film and television. I would like to see an Animation Barnstar become a reality; especially since one already exists for the sub-topic of Anime and Manga. In order for this to become official though, a consensus will have to be reached.

If this is something that you would be interested in supporting, then please let me know on my talk page, as I am sending this message to all of the members of the Animation WikiProject and will not be adding each editor's talk page to my watchlist.

I am also looking for someone who would be able to provide a design for the barnstar. If you have any ideas for this, then please do not hesitate to share them with me. :) --Jpcase (talk) 17:37, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
