User talk:Gobonobo

Welcome to Gobonobo's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply.

Thanks for uploading File:Sadri Alışık.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 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).

DYK for Diesel (donkey)

On 28 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Diesel (donkey), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after disappearing in 2019, a donkey is now "living his best life" with a wild elk herd? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Diesel (donkey). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Diesel (donkey)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for your work on the article. It looks much better. SL93 (talk) 16:08, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:Chick Webb.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Chick Webb.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file's talk 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Poozeum

On 13 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Poozeum, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Poozeum holds fossilized dinosaur feces (pictured) which may have come from a T. rex? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Poozeum. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Poozeum), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
