Proposed deletion of In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault

Resolved

Extended content

The article In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: WP:NOTNEWS While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Christmas Dive Bar logo.png

Resolved

Extended content

Thank you for uploading File:Christmas Dive Bar logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 18:02, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Article you might be interested in - GenPride

Hey there, chances are you would have stumbled across it anyway since I already added it to Wiki Loves Pride, but I figured I'd ping you anyway in case you have any help for the new article for GenPride I just created since I know you created the related Pride Place article and it's our new venn-diagram overlap of LGBTQ and Seattle area topics :) Raladic (talk) 01:23, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
