Hi, It looks like no one warned you about the impending deletion of the picture. Anyway basically Google Maps are not free enough for Wikipedia to use. Their licensing has extra restrictions beyond the creative commons licenses that can be used on Wikipedia. Some alternative possibilities are that you draw a picture yourself, or with great difficulty get a camera up in the air, on a plane, balloon, kite and take your own aerial photo, Nasa shots are free of copyright, so if you can find one that zooms in enough you can use that. A recent map I did myself was File:Balk map.png which used a base of an aeroplane photo from someone else. You can still use the Google map as a reference though.

Orphaned non-free image File:GamesPeoplePlayFM1960.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:GamesPeoplePlayFM1960.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ZooFari 05:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:CastleGolfMiniCastle.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:CastleGolfMiniCastle.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:58, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Castle Golf and Games

The article Castle Golf and Games has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

doesn't appear to have ever been a notable park, just some minor local coverage

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
