File:Alde.gif

I have tagged File:Alde.gif as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Epp 2005logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Epp 2005logo.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. 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. BetacommandBot 04:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Better source request for File:AA_EVX_logo.gif

Thanks for uploading File:AA_EVX_logo.gif. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. OsamaK (talk) 12:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:John gomery.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading File:John gomery.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 media 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 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree 20:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Pcposmall2.png

Template:Infobox GO Transit rail

As an aside to that, I've been meaning to ask you about these changes to the GO infobox. While the result is nicely formatted, it is difficult for some readers whose eyes may not have great visual acuity (there's too much colour). I was thinking of toning it down by removing the background colour from the text, but retaining it for the line designator (eg - we would see a white "A" with red background, but "Lakeshore West" would be black on white).

Good job on the clean up. We seem to have had similar thoughts about the clutter. My solution to the schematic Template:GO Transit rail system was to collapse the lines not the entire diagram. Sadly, the program code behind the templates keeps being messed with and at the moment the collapsibles don't match the regular - not too bad, but not quite correct (look at "km" shift). I have posted the collapsible version here with you because I don't want someone else to arbitrarily overwrite your previous work. If you can incorpoate any of what I have done - please do. I respect your maintenance work and will leave this with you. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 18:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Infobox Kosovo

hi tom I see that in the infobox of User:The Tom/Kosovo you listed the cyrillic name before the albanian latin name
I think the albanian latin name should appear first beacuse the majority of the people in kosovo ( more than 94% ) are albanian .
When kosovo declares independence the serbian language will be an official language but it will be more of a secondary language , thats why I think the albanian latin should be first ( Please correct me if I am wrong ).Cheers --Leitz 17:23, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Kosovo and Belarus

I have both releases from the MFA and from Lukashenko and neither explicitly mention if they will recognize Kosovo as a state or not.
