Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2013, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page General Assembly. 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.

Non-fee image use

[edit]

Hi Getaway Car. The licensing of each media file you see used on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these files are commonly referred to as "non-free". Non-free content use on Wikipedia is highly restricted and each use of such files must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in WP:UP#Non-free files, non-free content cannot be used on your user page and User:Getaway Car/2017 in Vincent's life. I left edit sums explaining why I removed the non-free files from your sandbox, but I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here, at WP:MCQ or at WT:NFC. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:07, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTWEBHOST

[edit]

Hi Getaway Car. I am curious as to whether pages such as User:Getaway Car/2017 in Vincent's life and User:Getaway Car/vinceroyalty are drafts of possible articles or just test pages/personal webpages of some kind. If they are drafts, then it would probably be a good idea to add Template:Userspace draft to them or even better just to move them to the draft namespace since that is typically where drafts belong. If they are test pages or some kind of onilne diary/blog you're keeping, then you probably need to take a look at WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:FAKEARTICLE. While Wikipedia tends to allow users a bit of freedom when it comes to their userpages, such pages are still expected to comply with WP:UP and those which don't may be tagged for deletion per WP:UPNOT. If these are not drafts per se, then there may be other free website providers better suited for such content. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:16, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
