Thanks for uploading File:Dog Island Stamp, 2009.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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:
{{

below the original replaceable non-free 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.

Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.The topic of the article is the " Dog Island Lighthouse". The topic of the article i NOT "Depiction of the Dog Island Lighthouse on stamps". The image of the stamp is in no way useful to increase readers' understanding of the topic "Dog Island Lighthouse".

Schwede66, on the Mayor of Rotorua article a user named Kcatena1010 added an image of Tania Tapsell that has an uncertian copyright status, right? The original source of the image is probably this news article from 2020.
I saw in the article's history the user(s) previously added not freely-licensed images in the past. Please, enlighten me if this a copyvio image and if such images should it be removed. Thanks. Alexeyevitch( talk) 11:20, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Kia ora, I just added a bunch of extra info on POI in the square and wanted to nominate the article for a DYK about the Telephone Box War of 1988.

Hi Schwede66! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page.

Hi! I noticed you have had issues with user Iskandar323 maliciously editing and then violating bans example you used on his talk page. I have been having some issues with him wholesale deleting sections I added without engaging on the topic on Ghassan Abu-Sittah. I am reverting the changes and have added new sources from the Times but would appreciate if you could step in and clarify so we do not devolve into an edit war.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2024).
Hello Schwede66,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

Hi Schwede66, I accidently misspelled "Sumida Park". It would be helpful if you could rename the file. Thanks. (I'll be very careful next time when adding files to Commons not to misclick)

Adding the Cleanup red links template like this, this, and this is truly not constructive, especially since you have not applied it to the equivalent existing pages for other years, which have existed for years now. It's a clear case of micromanaging recent changes and it just adds an eyesore template to otherwise pleasant articles. Easier to critique than to create, I suppose.
