An image used in this article, File:Paula Cox.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations
What should I do?
Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
@Mewulwe: I am unsure what the major opposition to numbering the premiers is, near all of them were already numbered, while you may deem it arbitrary its not especially uncommon (e.g. all US presidents are numbered). Many of the premiers have been numbered for years (one with incorrect numbering). I'm interested in hearing the reasoning. Lalichii (talk) 23:55, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is entirely uncommon for premiers of Bermuda. What does that have to do with U.S. presidents? You understand this is a very specific U.S. custom? This isn't done almost anywhere else in the world. So it's simply unsourced. Unless you can find good pre-Wikipedia evidence of the holders of a particular office being commonly and consistently numbered, you can't just add arbitrary numbers based on a potentially incorrect or ambiguous Wikipedia list. That some error has been on Wikipedia for years is obviously no argument to keep it. Most of these numbers were in fact added by a single user, GoodDay. I will remove them where I come across them, but I can't be responsible for removing all thousands of them. Mewulwe (talk) 10:25, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think numbering helps users grasp how far along the leaders are but I can see why you disagree. Here is a page on the Bermuda gov website that number premiers, is this sufficient to satisfy your request? Lalichii (talk) 15:57, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, this is clearly copied from Wikipedia, down to the italics. In any case such a table would not be enough, as the numbers there could be ad hoc and not in wider use. You need pre-Wikipedia evidence that a certain numbering is consistently used. Mewulwe (talk) 22:06, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, I'd have less problems with Mewulwe's anti-numbering stance, if he applied it evenly. Had he removed the numberings of all the Bermuda premiers instead of just Cox & Scott, there'd be no inconsistencies. GoodDay (talk) 17:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
