Hi, I saw that you removed the logo or crest from List of McGill University people. That list was patterned after List_of_Yale_University_people which has their logo/crest there. Did you remove it from their page, too, and if not , shouldn't you do the same? My thanks. Tansyderby ( talk) 05:25, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

the item is itself the subject of sourced commentary in the article.
Given the two ways of satisfying the contextual significance criterion, only one is applicable to Cambodian rock (1960s-70)-- why do you say only that one is applicable? The article isn't a history of Cambodian music, focused on a certain era, but rather a specific genre as it existed in a specific era. The article goes into detail about the style/sound. That is not something that can be sufficiently explained in text, and I do not see why clips representative of the genre should not be used if there is no plausible free alternative. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 02:43, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
To those here in favor of file deletion, I will take on the burden of proof but I must point out that all of the pages you have pointed to are vague on what constitutes an acceptable usage rationale for a file beyond the first article in which it appears. Also, I don't like the old other stuff exists argument more than anyone else, but the article under dispute is a music genre article, and those articles almost always have photos of the musicians discussed therein, and often with non-free images borrowed from from the musician's own article. So the article I'm working on has been selectively targeted, and the arguments about not using files beyond the first article are pretty unconvincing. But regardless, I'd love to see an actual example of a usage rationale that has been deemed acceptable for using an image in more than one article. When Admins and Watchers conduct a discussion with a bunch of impenetrable acronyms that point to pages with more impenetrable acronyms, that's not particularly helpful to the good faith contributor. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 13:28, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
@ JJMC89:: Your bot automatically deleted File:Madraiwiwifatiaki.jpg ( /info/en/?search=File:Madraiwiwifatiaki.jpg) from University of Adelaide when it met the following conditions stipulated for fair use of the image: 1. To illustrate the subject in question (the image/file does so as it illustrates the subject as a famous graduate of the University of Adelaide) 2. Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information (that is the only image available on the subject) 3. On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation (image is used only in the English-language Wikipedia)
What should be done to indicate the above fair use rationale (in parenthesis above) and where should the rationale be indicated for the image? Help pls. Thank you. Jacknpoy ( talk) 12:52, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi JJMC89, In a recent edit to Richard Dawkins you moved the short description fron the top of the page to below the hatnote. Was this intentional, or did it just happen as an artifact of the edit system you use? If intentional, why? (there are functional reasons why a manually added short description must remain before any transcluded version, which are not visible to all editors). Please ping with reply, Cheers, · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:31, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi JJMC89, thanks for calling me for the due actions to improve the bio page of Paola Velardi. I am writing to you with respect to the Recognition Section specifically, which you kindly signaled on October 13. I added references which support the statements I put in the section, with the hope to make the section's contents accurate. If you deem it so, please consider removing the Maintenance template for that section specifically. Paola Velardi herself warned me about the maintenance sign. She is going to use her Wiki page in two applications and she cannot do so until the page is accurate, which is my first and foremost duty to take care of. Because of this reason too, I am working hard to make the page more accurate, but on the other hand I would need you to remove the maintenance sign if the new outlook of the page can have this change "granted". I am now working on making a second section more accurate, which is the "Current Employment". I should signal that the only reason why I did not put any reference to it is because I (mistakenly) wanted to avoid a duplication of references which I used at the very beginning of the introduction text. I have now understood that a reference must be put anyway, and I will be doing so soon. A piece of advice on avoiding reference duplicates would be highly appreciated. I will signal you when the job is done, so that this second maintenance post can be removed. Thanks a lot, Best wishes Ilaria —Preceding undated comment added 08:09, 7 November 2018 (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 Tangia Zaman Methila requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "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 deleted 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.

You have been moving pages into Draft only because a sock accepted them via AfC. There is no demonstrated issues with these pages. This burdens AfC reviewers amd confuses new page creators who thought their page was done but all of a sudden see it deleted. You are also screwing up the number of weeks delay reported on 1600 AfC pages. So please stop or if you really feel this is important get consensus at AN or AfC for it.
