Disputed non-free use rationale for File:MetaArcade Logo.png
edit
Thank you for uploading File:MetaArcade Logo.png. 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.
ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:03, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
MetaArcade
editHi there. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've noticed some of your contributions and I need to ask what your relationship with the company MetaArcade is. Thanks very much. Canterbury Tail talk 21:23, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi there. Thanks for the welcome. My daughter works for MetaArcade, so of course I've played their games, and was surprised they weren't mentioned on Wikipedia, so I added references to them on the Tunnels & Trolls and Call of Cthulhu pages, and then it seemed like I needed to create pages for the games which kind of necessitated a MetaArcade page and now I'm kind of sorry I started down this rabbit hole, because it's kind of a pain creating a decent Wikipedia page. I'm guessing there is some issue about who creates pages for companies, so let me know if I should be closer or further from the company to be contributing?
- I recommend you take a look at the page WP:COI and have a read through it. Basically we often don't want people to close to a subject editing it as it can lead to a bias. Some people only want the positive and that sort of thing. So have a read through that page and let us all know if you have any questions. Canterbury Tail talk 01:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Tunnels & Trolls Adventures moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Tunnels & Trolls Adventures, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 01:49, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:MetaArcade Logo.png
edit
Thanks for uploading File:MetaArcade Logo.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) 17:31, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, On-TechDan. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Tunnels & Trolls Adventures.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:44, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
