Orphaned non-free image File:Atlantis (video game).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Atlantis (video game).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) 02:23, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

GAN source checks
Hi Lee, hope you are enjoying your holiday in Latvia. Regarding the most recent cue sport GAN, it would be helpful if you could explicitly note which sources were checked. Especially with what feels like a recent increase in new reviewers or reviewees stating their reviews received were insufficient, it is important that good models are produced to follow. Well done while I'm here for the work you have put into the wider cue sports topic area, both as a writer and reviewer. 201 GA and 36 FA, as of writing. Best, CMD (talk) 14:12, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Sure. I usually do, not sure why I didn't specifically mention it - I think I likely forgot we changed the requirments. I'm not really the biggest fan of the requirement to state explitly which sources you checked, it does make a long winded review process even longer.
- For clarity, I checked 6, 19, 56, and 61. I will have to AGF on the offline sourcing. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:31, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oh I'm not asking you to reopen or edit that GAN, just noting the point about explicitness for the reasons mentioned. Best, CMD (talk) 01:56, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points.

Amir Sarkhosh
Amir Sarkhosh has turned pro this season, so his page should be unblocked, as he will now definitely qualify as notable. SnookerLoopyOneFourSeven (talk) 04:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that they will likely become notable, but we don't generally do this until the new season. I'd suggest doing an WP:AFC and I'll unsalt the page. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
