Thanks for uploading File:WCAT1390logo.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
PLEASE NOTE:
- I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
- I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
- If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
- To opt out of these bot messages, add

Thanks for uploading File:Birmingham Americans helmet.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mtking (edits) 03:39, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

- And replied in turn. The rationale language is adapted quite closely from the fair use rationale for the Dallas Cowboys uniform illustration, for what its worth. - Dravecky (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Replied to both. FYI the Dallas Cowboys helmet has also been deleted for the same reason see Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 December 20#File:Dallas Cowboys helmet rightface.png Mtking (edits) 21:58, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Replied to both. I see the reasoning behind the nomination now and while it will be tremendously difficult to replace these images, it may not prove impossible. - Dravecky (talk) 22:07, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited KIRK (FM), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page KMRN (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

MikeWazowski (talk) erase my vote need helpsForums44 (talk) 22:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- In actuality, I corrected a misrepresentation - Forums44 has already commented DON'T DELETE *twice* in the article, and is objecting to my striking out yet another Keep comment from him, and my preserving the record of the discussion. Forums44, I would advise you to be truthful in how you present the situation in the future. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:27, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm always happy to help, Forums44, but MikeWazowski is completely correct. The best thing you can do now is to stop commenting in the discussion thread and direct your energies to expanding and sourcing the article. I have faith that this article can be saved, but there has to be something worth saving for others to make the same leap. - Dravecky (talk) 05:18, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

I'll be working on some projects offline during the blackout but if you need my assistance for anything Wikipedia-related, it will have to wait until the whole thing is over. (Yes, I'll be radio silent while the site is dark. Ironic, I know.) - Dravecky (talk) 04:54, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
