Introducing Myself
editHello everyone, I am TRUEandHONESTuser. This is my talk page, so please feel free to say anything you want if I can be of assistance.
Replaceable fair use File:Wyoming Gas Chamber.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Wyoming Gas Chamber.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:
- 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. - 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. – Train2104 (t • c) 22:36, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
Circular references
edit Thanks for contributing to the article List of fugitives from justice who disappeared. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

- I would also would like to thank you for adding to the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared and I have added some more entries, plus have upgraded articles that you have added as well. Please see if there are any more entries who you can add to the fugitives who are currently wanted, and also see if there are any fugitives who disappeared in 1950 who were never caught as there is no 1950s section yet.

- Could you please add disappeared fugitives Jack the Stripper and Charlie Chop off to the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared. I would add them myself, but am too busy with things to do so. Davidgoodheart (talk) 02:52, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
