The owner of the logo emailed Commons Admin to give free license. Was that not received? The other photo is my own and I uploaded to Commons under CCby4 821Oakland (talk) 15:25, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was not commenting about copyright images. There was some text copied from https://www.lakemerrittrowingclub.org/history as well. — Diannaa (talk) 21:14, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 821Oakland. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Lake Merritt Rowing Club".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. plicit 14:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
