Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs

edit

Hi, I notice that you've been producing a lot of DYKs lately. You may want to add your name to the creations and expansions list at Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs and keep track of your DYK credits there. You get an award for your first 25 credits! Best, Yoninah (talk) 19:09, 18 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Here's some resource tools

edit

You might be interested in all the various source subscriptions available through Wikipedia. See navbox below. Many, if not all, have requirements such as a Wikipedia account at least 6 months old (but, hey, you've already been here 4 months), and a minimum number of edits. I say pick out whichever ones you think would help your particular field of interest and apply as soon as you qualify. Good luck with future articles. And may you eventually never have any sourcing snags in any level of reviews. — Maile (talk) 19:26, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:LeahWidtsoeedited.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:LeahWidtsoeedited.png. 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) 18:52, 25 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:LeahWidtsoeedited.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:LeahWidtsoeedited.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
