Image:Becherovka 300cl.jpg

Thanks for contributing this image to Wikipedia. I am afraid this image is unlikely to be a good replacement of Image:Becherovka bottle.jpg: the latter image is licensed under the GFDL license; the former one has come from the official website of Becherovka and I was unable to verify that they allow it to be used for any (this includes commercial) purpose. A fair use claim might be reasonable, but it is Wikipedia's policy that a free image should be used if one is available. (I have nominated your image for deletion. Sorry for any inconvenience.)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Godless Florin.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Godless Florin.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 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 14:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Blue Circle Cement Logo2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blue Circle Cement Logo2.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Malvern College

Hi Welkinridge! Malvern College, an article you have edited or contributed to, concerns an important school. It still needs some urgent attention. If you can help, please see Talk:Malvern College#Lead Section regarding how it may be improved. --Kudpung (talk)

Charles Smith

Hi there,

I realise that Wikipedia may not be the best place for this, but we were just watching the BBC Olympic coverage and my dad mentioned to me that Charles Smith, who was shown on the list of Britain's most successful Olympians, was his grandmother's brother. I was amazed at this (he had never mentioned it before) and looked his name up on the internet straight away. Having confirmed that I am indeed related to him, it was even more amazing to go to the talk page of the article to find that he is your Great Uncle, in the same way that he is mine!

My great grandmother was Alice Maud Smith - one of his sisters. It is a miracle to find a distant relative such as yourself through Wikipedia, and it would be interesting to hear from you! You can contact me through Wikipedia's email system here: Special:EmailUser/Raywil, where I would be more than willing to provide my personal email address.

Disambiguation link notification for March 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The World's End, Chelsea, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles II. 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.
