Replaceable fair use File:Billy Squier Live 1982.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Billy Squier Live 1982.jpg. 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:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{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.
  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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Discussion about premature GA nomination of Queen (band)

edit

There is a discussion about your Good Article Nomination of Queen (band). The discussion can be found at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Revert of premature GA nomination of Queen (band) (again). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:34, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just to follow this up, ChimChamIt'sAScam05, you admit on your userpage that you are relatively new and in-experienced. Ideally, that knowledge should lead you to discretion. In this case, although our foolish GA rules don't say so, unless you improved the article yourself you should not nominate it. The nomination comes after the work is done. The nomination is not a prod to get other volunteers to do the work just because you like the article subject. Again, our rules don't spell out any of this and it's a shame.
