Orphaned non-free image (Image:Saddam_Hussein_on_his_throne.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Saddam_Hussein_on_his_throne.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ElinorD (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Trooping the colour image

Dear Jeff G., Re your message on my Talk page. First let me apologise for not "updating" the administrator page. I had left requests in three areas for the picture when needing it for the article. I didn't realise that it was necessary to update requests, and have been preoccupied with exams to take and the illness/decease of a relative. So I've not been a regular contributor to Wikipedia recently.

Notwithstanding the above, I am at a loss as to why you would have requested deletion of the image uploaded by a friendly user, namely, User:WilyD, which had already gone into the Trooping the Colour article in response to my call. It sounds, from the first line of your message ("Because none of you saw fit...."), as if this was a purely punitive measure. Please tell me I am wrong in this perception, because I would hope that Wikipedia would not work in this way.

Does now mean that when that image is deleted, it will disappear from the article? I would hope not. I have put hours into finding it. Presumably User:WilyD went to some trouble in downloading it at my request and I wonder why you would have deleted it.

I have checked the article and it seems to be OK, but perhaps you could kindly leave a message on my Talk page to reassure me on this point.

Many thanks. --FClef (talk) 02:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'll be leaving a message on your Talk page shortly...   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 11:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for very kind message clarifying things - I understand. I have passed my exams and am now a fully qualified City of London Guide. --FClef (talk) 15:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

A mis-sent missive?

Dear Jff G., we are all hitting too many buttons too fast! (o this burdensome technology!) I received this copy from you on my talk page and have forwarded to WilyD, for whom I think you intended it. Best wishes. --FClef (talk) 23:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Wily, you can be a Flickr Reviewer on Commons. I suggest the following two-step process:

1. Update your user page here and create one there, such that they reference each other.

2. Ask at Commons:Commons talk:Flickr images/reviewers.

Cheerio!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 16:44, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

That was not mis-sent, I was replying to Wily's latest post on your user talk page, so as not to fracture the discussion.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 11:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
