[edit] Image:GeraintThomas.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GeraintThomas.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 16:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Ive put that it isnt replaceable on the disputed form thingy and also in the discussion page for it. SportingNonsense 20:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geraint Thomas

I was trying to access the UCI website to access a new registered team roster before changing it, but it seems the UCI don't quite have it working this weekend! I'll try to source a new one this week sometime, and also make some headway on the Pro Conti team rosters.


Again, welcome! Mk3severo 11:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I use Cyclingnews for rosters, theyre all up to date and it lists all the top teams.
Just so you know, if you read this, Im hoping to add the rosters from the bottom of the page to continental teams, Ive experimented with the current team templates in my sandbox and I know what to do. Ill start with Barloworld.
Cyclingnews is good, but the UCI is the horse's mouth so I regard it a better source to use and always try to reference that rather than a third party source which may have mistakes! If you hadn't found it, instructions for the nav boxes can be found at Template talk:Cycling team rider. Happy editing! --Mk3severo 11:53, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WT:CRIC

Hello Sporting Nonsense. It has been decided not to use the squad templates for the world cup in the articles because it was agreed that the templates were overwhelming the articles at that the categories could convery the same information. thus, I reverted your changes to the cricket bios. If the consensus changes in the future, I will be happy to restore them for you. Regards, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, good job I only did 2 XD --SportingNonsense 03:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Union Cycliste Internationale.svg and Flag of the Olympic Movement.svg removed from your user page

An image or media file, Image:Union Cycliste Internationale.svg and Image:Flag of the Olympic Movement.svg, has been removed from your userpage or user talk page because it was licensed as fair use. Wikipedia's fair use policy states that fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. As a result, although users are often given a great amount of latitude in the type of content that is allowed on their user pages, it is requested that you abide by this policy. Feel free, however, to add images and media files licensed under other terms. For more information, see Wikipedia's fair use policy and an accompanying essay on the removal of fair use images. Thank you for your cooperation.

[edit] Removal of category from your userpage

Hi. In enacting consensus from User categories for discussion, I have removed the category Category:Wikipedians interested in books from your userpage. It was determined in that deletion debate that this category should be depopulated of individuals, but kept as a parent category. If you wish to display a category reflecting your interest in books, please consider one of the specific sub-categories under its umbrella. Thanks, and please excuse the necessary editing of your user page! ----Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HoyScotlandSprint.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:HoyScotlandSprint.PNG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Guest9999 (talk) 22:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
