Thank you @AngusWOOF:. Yes I think maybe to redirect it might be appropriate if I can't find any other links or sources. I will also try to expand it. Thank you for your feedback. --ArleneHerman (talk) 19:23, 3 August 2021 (UTC) Also a little embarrassing to have the declined draft notice on my talk page :) Something I need to get use to from time to time haha @AngusWOOF: --ArleneHerman (talk) 19:24, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

ArleneHerman, no worries, I get declines and rejects too. It still might have a chance of being independently notable as with Larry King Live or Gutfeld! so you can try digging up other sources. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 02:14, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Flatmates-1997-titlecard.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Flatmates-1997-titlecard.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:40, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Carolyn Taylor-Broadcaster.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Carolyn Taylor-Broadcaster.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 23:44, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

• Whpq, thanks for letting me know and apologies about this. I thought that if it was a screenshot of a person that is also a low resolution it would be okay for fair use. Otherwise, happy for it to be deleted. Thank you! --ArleneHerman (talk) 01:19, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Edit Summary

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision diffs
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

Thank you for your hard work in cleaning the article up. Your work means it has become readable, which is of primary importance, and no longer appears to have an overblown set of references. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 09:54, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you @Timtrent! --ArleneHerman (talk) 10:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

  I noticed you cleaned your talk page out. It was getting a bit unwieldy. Have you considered auto-archiving? I can help you set it up if you choose, or you can work it out for yourself, or say no! Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 10:48, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

• Was just some of the embarrassing declines. It is okay. I will take a look on how to do this. Thank you very much! --ArleneHerman (talk) 18:01, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
