Thanks for uploading File:Sparksville, Indiana ferry bridge.jpeg. 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq ( talk) 01:42, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Sparksville, Indiana ferry bridge.jpeg. 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) 03:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

This question is: If someone is under 18, can they sign up for oversighter, and checkuser? I read WP:OVERSIGHTER and WP:CHECKUSER, it says people under 18 cannot apply. However, if someone becomes an administrator, will they be appointed checkuser and oversighter immediately; or they appoint it themselves? Severe storm 28 22:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

An article you recently created,
2022 Australian Open – Wheelchair Quad Doubles, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi, you sent me a response at the Teahouse asking if the article existed. The one you linked to is not the article that I intend to create, so it still does not exist. Do stubs need to fit notability criteria?

Hi Severestorm28, I'm TheresNoTime. You'll likely not be pleased about this but I have removed some of your edits because they reveal too much personally identifiable information about you. We have a policy of protecting editors' safety by hiding such information if they share it. I'm really sorry about having to suppress your edits, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add the information. For some useful information on privacy and safety, you can take a look at Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors and Wikipedia:On privacy, confidentiality and discretion. Thank you, and sorry for messing about with your edits! -- TNT ( talk • she/her) 02:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
Was just looking to respond to this as an admin has closed the thread. When it comes to film or TV they need to meet guidelines like WP:NFF to be considered for mainspace. The big specific sticking point for the most part is if the series or film has begun filming. As it stands the two shows have not entered any production outside of their initial development announcements. So since they aren't in mainspace, it's improper to include in the template, as it also goes against WP:CRYSTALBALL because they could easily be cancelled before production.

Hi there! Off the bat, the article looks like the lead needs to be expanded, the overview should be expanded and maybe changed into a "meteorology history". Also, the article includes tornadoes, so the title should be changed to reflect that. Looking through the article, the damage total for Hurricane Laura needs to be updated. Also, the impact section is pretty disorganized. Parts are organized by state, and parts are organized by the type of damage. I see three tags saying "needs update". None of that seems too difficult to do though. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 01:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
