Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Flag of Westernport, Maryland.svg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Flag of Westernport, Maryland.svg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Better source request for File:Seal of Wirt County, West Virginia.png[edit]

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Ирука13 05:14, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't create infobox messes[edit]

Please be careful when using editing tools to edit infoboxes, and please make sure the tool doesn't create a reformated mess of the infobox. The following are recent example of the messes that you created, and that I reverted. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 23:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Sbmeirow • Talk • 23:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will be more carful with the infobox next time by checking the changed through "show changes" before submitting. Can I re-add the images? Frank Zigler (talk) 23:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, go for it, my comment isn't meant to stop you from editing. The improper reformatting is the only thing that was an issue. Just now I posted a complaint on the VisualEditor tool talk section about this ongoing problem, most likely caused by this tool. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 00:01, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Flag and logo for Chehalis, Washington...?[edit]

Hey Frank Zigler,

Well, the topic title says it all. Copyright and all that stuff makes me more than nervous so I turn to you if a flag/logo for Chehalis, Washington exists so it can be added to the InfoBox.

My thanks! Shortiefourten (talk) 18:50, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chehelis does have a flag and seal, they can be found here [1]https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-wachh.html. I can add those onto Chehalis's wiki infobox. Frank Zigler (talk) 20:29, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:Flag of Princess Anne, Maryland.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Flag of Princess Anne, Maryland.png. 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:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe 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.

License tagging for File:Seal of Madison, Mississippi.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Seal of Madison, Mississippi.png. 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) 19:30, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
