User talk:TipsyElephant/2025

Hi tipsy elephant I saw that the article I wrote on Chad Millman, a widely popular figure in the sports media space, was declined. Would you mind helping me get this in the right shape so it can get approved? I saw one of your comments was that Wikipedia can't be used for citation but I've seen many articles use that so I'm a bit confused on that front. Also I've cited each claim I've made so please tell me if I've missed something. Thank you! Nyssedine (talk) 10:07, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

@Nyssedine: if Wikipedia is cited as a source somewhere else then please remove it there as well or point me to it and I'll remove it. As I noted in my reviewing comment "Full sections are unsourced. Do not cite Wikipedia as a source." Neither of my comments were properly addressed. I've removed the references to Wikipedia and added citations needed tags to your draft.

Thanks for uploading File:Introvertendo.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's talk 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.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:32, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Nerd Poker Podcast.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free 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) 02:31, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Three Bean Salad (podcast), which you proposed for deletion. In my view, the subject is discussed in detail in enough sources that WP:N is not an uncontroversial reason for deletion here, so this should go to WP:AfD to get a proper discussion. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Nightingale of Iran is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Nightingale of Iran until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
