Hello, I'm Mike1901. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Kosovo  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mike1901 (talk) 16:02, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1973 Afghan coup d'état, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arg. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kabul into Trolleybuses in Kabul. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:26, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:AliKeshtmand.png

Thanks for uploading File:AliKeshtmand.png. 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wq639. Just for reference, you're reverting of Hullaballoo Wolfowitz with this edit is not really a valid justification for keeping a non-free image in an article about a living person. The default is not to use a non-free image until a free equivalent is found. Non-free images are only rarely allowed for primary identification purposes in WP:BLP articles, and only when certain specific conditions have been met (see item 1 of WP:NFC#UUI for some examples). So, unless you can provide a much better policy-based reason as to while an exception should be made in this particular case, this file will be deleted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:20, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

The above also applies to File:Sarwari.png, File:Kabulwomen78.png, File:Peasant festival kabul 1980.png, File:Kabul uni students.png, File:Kabul street 78.png, File:Young Kabulites.png, File:Taraki speech.png, File:Amin wife.png and File:Amin Taraki.png.

The fact that no free image may currently exist is not really an automatic justification for non-free use, especially when it comes to peopke who are still living. Such a thing could simply mean that such a free equivalent has simply yet to be found or yet to be created. In BLP articles, the long-standing consensus regarding images used for primary identification is to not allow a non-free image to be used except in certain specific cases.

In addition, while a particular event may have been notable or historic, photo of the event are not automatically considered to be the same as explained in WP:ITSHISTORIC. Photos are only historic when reliable sources tell us they are by critically discussing such photos. Simply want to illustrate an historic event is not typically a sufficient justification for non-free use, and the photo itself generally needs to be the subject of sourced critical commentary to provide the context required by WP:NFCC#8. Furhtermore, general photos of nondescript and unidentifiable groups of people or street scenes are almost never allowed per NFCC#1 and NFCC#8 unless there is a really strong contextual reason for doing so in which the image is strongly tied into the article content and the specific image itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary within the article.

You seem to have either been unaware of or simply misunderstood how Wikipedia's non-free content use policy applies to this type of image use. Just from checking some of your recent uploads, every image I looked at has non-free use issues. So, if you remember uploading any more of these types of images, please go back and reassess their non-free use yourself. If any of them have the same problems as referred to above, you can simply tagged them for deletion yourself per {{db-author}} or remove them from the articles when they are being used and let them eventually be deleted per WP:F5. Otherwise, others are going to have to go through and check the rest for you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:16, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Massoud1996.png

Thank you for uploading File:Massoud1996.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:43, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:NajibInterview.png

Thank you for uploading File:NajibInterview.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) 01:05, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
