Replaceable fair use File:New Statesman cover January 14, 2002.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:New Statesman cover January 14, 2002.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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 廣九直通車 (talk) 04:36, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of International Academic Friends of Israel for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article International Academic Friends of Israel 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/International Academic Friends of Israel (2nd nomination) 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. ImTheIP (talk) 01:36, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Help with notability template

Hey, user:SlimVirgin, I was looking for someone who has experience with contents concerning the Animal Rights movement, I hope it's okay I turn to you for help? The article Animals Now (Regarding an Animal Rights organization from Israel) was marked with a notability clarification template recently. I have expanded the article since, and added many sources from the media, both in English and Hebrew. I think it might be okay to remove the template now. If you could help me with that, or perhaps instruct me on what I should further do in order to improve the article, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, טיפש ט"ו בשבט (talk) 09:14, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, the group seems notable enough, so I would say you could remove the tag. If you want to add more sourcing, they published a report in February 2020, which is discussed by the Times of Israel [1] and Haaretz. [2] Also, if I were writing this, I would rewrite it in narrative form rather than with bullet points, and I would add something about the group's origins. It's okay to use their website as a source for their own history, and there is something in this book about their origins: Richard H. Schwartz, Judaism and Vegetarianism, Lantern Books, 2001, pp. 165–166. I hope this helps. All the best, SarahSV ^(talk) 19:16, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
