Disputed non-free use rationale for File:IXI X.desktop and elements 1992.png

Pink Floyd/Roger Waters concert tours
I saw that you reverted my redirect and added reliable sources to In the Flesh (Roger Waters tour). I wanted to thank you for improving the article, I had looked for references, but did not find them. There are additional concert tours that need additional references: The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (tour), Radio K.A.O.S. (tour), The Man and The Journey Tour, Pink Floyd 1974 tours, and Wish You Were Here Tour. If you would be able to improve these articles by adding references, I would greatly appreciate it. Aspects (talk) 21:15, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Aspects: Anyone can improve tour articles. The best sources for them are books about the artist (if the artist is well known enough to have books written about them, which Pink Floyd and its members certainly are), music industry magazines (especially for announcements and box office performance numbers), and newspaper stories (out-of-town reviewers being sent to cover the opening night of a tour is an especially good indication of importance). Wasted Time R (talk) 22:54, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Based on your adding of references/reverting redirect of Wings 1973 UK Tour, there are two Paul McCartney/Wings tours that need more reliable sources: Paul McCartney's Unplugged Tour 1991 and Wings Over Europe Tour. Also I asked you because you had books that are not popping up when I tried Google news and book sources. For some of these tours, I thought I could find enough sources, but did not have enough time currently. But others I found nothing like the two you reverted and added references to. I was just trying to avoid that in the future. Aspects (talk) 22:58, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

| For your thoughtful review at the GA nomination for Kathy Karpan.

Even an experienced editor like myself has a lot to learn from you! Edge3 (talk) 07:13, 8 March 2021 (UTC) |
Admittedly, I wasn't sure what I was really getting myself into when I picked up that nomination, but you were very generous with your advice and feedback. You also were quite patient with my scheduling issues, and you were helpful with sharing the Newspapers.com clippings! You found items to address that I didn't identify during my initial review, which helped me become a better reviewer for other GA nominations to come. We're lucky to have you here!

Image copyright problem with File:JuneauPublicLibraryStainedGlass.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:JuneauPublicLibraryStainedGlass.JPG.
This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.
Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. ✗plicit 09:40, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Netsmart Technologies logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Netsmart Technologies logo.jpg. 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) 17:36, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
