Hi BrillLyle! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page
Women in Technology International has been reverted.
Your edit
here to
Women in Technology International was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our
external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LP2Ni0c1Bg) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a
media file (e.g. a
sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's
copyright policy, as well as other parts of our
external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our
upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an
external link that does comply with our
policies and
guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to
undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's
external links guideline for more information, and consult my
list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see
my FAQ page. Thanks! --

Thanks for uploading File:Witi.com logo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 04:07, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:2011 WITI Hall of Fame Inductees.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster ( talk) 04:48, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Erika, I notice that when you edit a page you make hundreds of edits, many just a few seconds apart. Have you tried the "Show Preview" button? It's a great way to see what your last edit looks like without saving it and then you can continue editing, that way you don't clog up the edit history with so many entries. Just a friendly suggestion. Robman94 ( talk) 04:07, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Seeing as how you did such a great job overhauling the Robbie Fulks page, I wonder if you would be interested in taking at look at Nora's page too? Robman94 ( talk) 05:06, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Why did you revert the references list on the Robbie Fulks page? That's how it was before you started editing the page. Please produce documentation that prohibits using that format before reverting. Thanks. Robman94 ( talk) 20:06, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
So Robman94 ( talk) I have taken some time to think about this and have asked for assistance on this on the Wikipedia IRC channel. I have decided that I would like to continue to edit and watch the Robbie Fulks page. I am a long time fan and think his contributions and career is notable and his entry should reflect that. I have also gained clarity on why it is okay for me to undo your edit to the reference style and info box. The fact is that before I recently fixed and edited the page, there were four references, one of which was a reference to Robbie's website (bad citation), one of which was a reference from the National Enquirer (bad citation), and I think one more link that was dead. I use the "old skool" style of citation. I have created 36 valid citations and have reworked Robbie's page to an adequate level of improvement. Although the list type reference style was pre-existing, it was pre-existing on a page that was incomplete, was called out for poor citations / inadequate citations, and was not setting a precedent of formatting. I should not have to follow this list style citation in order to improve the page if I do 75% of the work on the page. I know that is YOUR preference but I did not see you making these amount of edits, so I am going to leave the standard citation style on this page. If I had come to the page with list style citations that were numerous and well done, I would of course continue this list style citation. But I did not, so I will not abide by you going and changing my work for no reason except it is YOUR preference. It is vandalism of my efforts and does not add any content to the page. I don't think it is a justifiable edit.
Hello BrillLyle. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled " Luke Winslow-King".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Luke Winslow-King}}
, paste it in the edit box at
this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot ( talk) 17:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

I really don't want to engage in a WP:LAME edit war with you, but my edits are simply to help the article conform to the manual of style on biographies that we refer to here, which states that full names should be in the lead paragraph, and that citations should be avoided in the lead paragraph. I really don't see the huge issue here. The abbreviated name is already used in the article title and infobox title and should be sufficient. Connormah ( talk) 04:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
While Connormah should be admonished for engaging in a revert war in the first place, he is now approaching this in a perfectly acceptable way: by pointing out what the problems are in your edits, correcting them, and then bringing a discussion to your talk page. You don't seem to be paying him the same respect; all I see on this page are a series of responses in the form of personal attacks. If you truly feel that you are in the right in this dispute, then you should bring your concerns to one of our many neutral dispute resolution options. You were also technically in violation of the three revert rule. Although I am not going to do anything about it, as it is too far after the fact and the effect would only be punitive, keep in mind that even if you are in the right, you will still be blocked for violating for the rule.
Connormah, I suggest next time that you stick to no more than one revert for things such as this and focus on discussion, rather than reversion, after that. As you yourself pointed out, this edit war was about something very lame indeed and entirely inconsequential outside of some style issues. There's no sense in getting yourself blocked over a middle name; the world will keep spinning if the style manual is not properly followed on one page for a few days, and we want to encourage discussion as the proper way to resolve conflicts. 01:55, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm confused. A biography is "a written account of another person's life". Why is C.K.'s career and personal life not part of his life, only his family background and early life are? The entire article is a biography, by definition of it being a Wikipedia article about his life. There is no need to mark a certain subsection being a biography when it all is. You've done a great job with the links and formatting, but I don't see how that's relevant. The article is still clean and your own work, just with a single section header removed. Reywas92 Talk 17:43, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 00:59, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Louis C.K. shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 20:01, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Sometimes there are a lot of information in articles that are trivial, and editors on Wikipedia work hard to make the articles as concise as possible.

Hello, that's a great start for an article. It would have made an interesting DYK, but it would have had to be nominated within 7 days of being created or moved into the main space. So I notice you seem to create some other content but no DYKs. However, the SD article was definitely worth putting on the main page so check it out if you create any more articles. I'd have used the hook "..that Standard Deluxe sponsors the yearly Waverly Old 280 Boogie?
I thought it looked cool and definitely would have got a couple thousand hits so definitely give it a look over the next time, all best o/ ~ R. T. G 02:04, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

The "Current members" field is only to be used if the subject of the article is a group or band. The article is about Sturgill himself, not his band, so that field shouldn't be used. However, you may add a subsection in the body of the article titled something like "Simpson's road band" and then list the members, provided you have a source. Also "notable instruments" is only supposed to be used if the artist has a distinctive individual instrument, like B. B. King's "Lucille" guitar or Jimi Hendrix's Stratocaster.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Luke Winslow-King requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_MS22262. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Anne Delong ( talk) 18:43, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Jon Langford Roger Knox.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:
{{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.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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 18:03, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Because she's already in Category:American television producers, she doesn't also go in the nationality-differentiated Category:Television producers simultaneously with it, and because she's already in Category:NBC executives, she doesn't go in the nationality-undifferentiated Category:Television executives simultaneously with that — that's what I meant about subcategories. Our rule about categorization is to find the narrowest appropriate category that fits, rather than simultaneously applying less specific variations on the same category. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about the "robustness" of the remaining categories, though. Bearcat ( talk) 03:02, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi BrillLyle! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page
Women in Technology International has been reverted.
Your edit
here to
Women in Technology International was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our
external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LP2Ni0c1Bg) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a
media file (e.g. a
sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's
copyright policy, as well as other parts of our
external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our
upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an
external link that does comply with our
policies and
guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to
undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's
external links guideline for more information, and consult my
list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see
my FAQ page. Thanks! --

Thanks for uploading File:Witi.com logo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 04:07, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:2011 WITI Hall of Fame Inductees.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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).

Hi Erika, I notice that when you edit a page you make hundreds of edits, many just a few seconds apart. Have you tried the "Show Preview" button? It's a great way to see what your last edit looks like without saving it and then you can continue editing, that way you don't clog up the edit history with so many entries. Just a friendly suggestion. Robman94 ( talk) 04:07, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Seeing as how you did such a great job overhauling the Robbie Fulks page, I wonder if you would be interested in taking at look at Nora's page too? Robman94 ( talk) 05:06, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Why did you revert the references list on the Robbie Fulks page? That's how it was before you started editing the page. Please produce documentation that prohibits using that format before reverting. Thanks. Robman94 ( talk) 20:06, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
So Robman94 ( talk) I have taken some time to think about this and have asked for assistance on this on the Wikipedia IRC channel. I have decided that I would like to continue to edit and watch the Robbie Fulks page. I am a long time fan and think his contributions and career is notable and his entry should reflect that. I have also gained clarity on why it is okay for me to undo your edit to the reference style and info box. The fact is that before I recently fixed and edited the page, there were four references, one of which was a reference to Robbie's website (bad citation), one of which was a reference from the National Enquirer (bad citation), and I think one more link that was dead. I use the "old skool" style of citation. I have created 36 valid citations and have reworked Robbie's page to an adequate level of improvement. Although the list type reference style was pre-existing, it was pre-existing on a page that was incomplete, was called out for poor citations / inadequate citations, and was not setting a precedent of formatting. I should not have to follow this list style citation in order to improve the page if I do 75% of the work on the page. I know that is YOUR preference but I did not see you making these amount of edits, so I am going to leave the standard citation style on this page. If I had come to the page with list style citations that were numerous and well done, I would of course continue this list style citation. But I did not, so I will not abide by you going and changing my work for no reason except it is YOUR preference. It is vandalism of my efforts and does not add any content to the page. I don't think it is a justifiable edit.
Hello BrillLyle. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled " Luke Winslow-King".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Luke Winslow-King}}
, paste it in the edit box at
this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

I really don't want to engage in a WP:LAME edit war with you, but my edits are simply to help the article conform to the manual of style on biographies that we refer to here, which states that full names should be in the lead paragraph, and that citations should be avoided in the lead paragraph. I really don't see the huge issue here. The abbreviated name is already used in the article title and infobox title and should be sufficient. Connormah ( talk) 04:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
While Connormah should be admonished for engaging in a revert war in the first place, he is now approaching this in a perfectly acceptable way: by pointing out what the problems are in your edits, correcting them, and then bringing a discussion to your talk page. You don't seem to be paying him the same respect; all I see on this page are a series of responses in the form of personal attacks. If you truly feel that you are in the right in this dispute, then you should bring your concerns to one of our many neutral dispute resolution options. You were also technically in violation of the three revert rule. Although I am not going to do anything about it, as it is too far after the fact and the effect would only be punitive, keep in mind that even if you are in the right, you will still be blocked for violating for the rule.
Connormah, I suggest next time that you stick to no more than one revert for things such as this and focus on discussion, rather than reversion, after that. As you yourself pointed out, this edit war was about something very lame indeed and entirely inconsequential outside of some style issues. There's no sense in getting yourself blocked over a middle name; the world will keep spinning if the style manual is not properly followed on one page for a few days, and we want to encourage discussion as the proper way to resolve conflicts. 01:55, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm confused. A biography is "a written account of another person's life". Why is C.K.'s career and personal life not part of his life, only his family background and early life are? The entire article is a biography, by definition of it being a Wikipedia article about his life. There is no need to mark a certain subsection being a biography when it all is. You've done a great job with the links and formatting, but I don't see how that's relevant. The article is still clean and your own work, just with a single section header removed. Reywas92 Talk 17:43, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 00:59, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Louis C.K. shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 20:01, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cary Fukunaga, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Civil War. 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.

Sometimes there are a lot of information in articles that are trivial, and editors on Wikipedia work hard to make the articles as concise as possible. I hope you're not discouraged; it's just the craft of editing. I did pay attention to the number of edits you made to the Fukunaga article, and they're much appreciated. -- Guat6 ( talk) 07:12, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't think the woman in that obituary is his mother. His mother is stated here as having died in 1989. My guess is that the woman in this record is Liotta's mother, while this record is of a different woman. All Hallow's Wraith ( talk) 06:03, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've boldly added the "pending changes reviewer
" userright to your account. This has no effect on your editing, but will allow you to
review edits from unregistered users on pages that are
pending-changes protected.
Lisa Cholodenko is now one of these pages, which I see you've spent quite some time working on. This should then serve useful. If you for some reason do not wish to have the reviewer right, let me know and I will remove it. Thanks for all of your hard work! —

Hi there. Can you take a look at my response to the IP's request at the talk page? I'm still of the view that there should be no stated religion for Alamuddin, because the source does not give one - it talks about Druze in general (and even prevaricates on that), but not about the article subject. Cheers, hamiltonstone ( talk) 13:27, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, that's a great start for an article. It would have made an interesting DYK, but it would have had to be nominated within 7 days of being created or moved into the main space. So I notice you seem to create some other content but no DYKs. However, the SD article was definitely worth putting on the main page so check it out if you create any more articles. I'd have used the hook "..that Standard Deluxe sponsors the yearly Waverly Old 280 Boogie?
I thought it looked cool and definitely would have got a couple thousand hits so definitely give it a look over the next time, all best o/ ~ R. T. G 02:04, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

The "Current members" field is only to be used if the subject of the article is a group or band. The article is about Sturgill himself, not his band, so that field shouldn't be used. However, you may add a subsection in the body of the article titled something like "Simpson's road band" and then list the members, provided you have a source. Also "notable instruments" is only supposed to be used if the artist has a distinctive individual instrument, like B. B. King's "Lucille" guitar or Jimi Hendrix's Stratocaster.

Hi there. I see that one of the sources you added says "Malton-born and raised, Norton says his love of performing began at his old school, Ampleforth College." But the article still says he was born in London. Which is correct? Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 19:42, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Luke Winslow-King requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_MS22262. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Anne Delong ( talk) 18:43, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Jon Langford Roger Knox.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:
{{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.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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 18:03, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Because she's already in Category:American television producers, she doesn't also go in the nationality-differentiated Category:Television producers simultaneously with it, and because she's already in Category:NBC executives, she doesn't go in the nationality-undifferentiated Category:Television executives simultaneously with that — that's what I meant about subcategories. Our rule about categorization is to find the narrowest appropriate category that fits, rather than simultaneously applying less specific variations on the same category. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about the "robustness" of the remaining categories, though. Bearcat ( talk) 03:02, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
