List of Lebanese people
The situation over there is that, unlike our list, they do not have any rules nor a criteria for inclusion. Therefore, I do not have a motive to protect the list. What I suggest is that you check the "history" and contact the creator or the person/persons who have made the most contributions to the list and tell them to set up some rules similar to ours, making their list more manageable, first.

Deletion of Puerto Rican images
As you all know, certain situations among which are included my personal health, have led me take a leave of absence from Wikipedia, however I believe that the idea proposed by Angusmclellan is an excellent one. Instead of nominating Puerto Rican related images by the masses, the images which have problems will first be listed in the page which I just created: WikiProject Puerto Rico/Images with problems. We will be given more then sufficient time as a "team" to find sources and make what ever fixes need be in order to keep them from being deleted. This is a Wiki-community team effort regardless of who uploaded the image. I ask all those who really care about the images related to Puerto Rico to post the link "Wikipedia:WikiProject Puerto Rico/Images with problems" in your "watchlists".

Your Third Opinion
Hi there. I am leaving this message for you in response to your requested third opinion on the Christina Mendez article. Unfortunately, WP:3O is probably not the appropriate place for such a request. It appears the user that you are referring to is in fact the same person as the article is about. I would suggest taking your issues to the conflict of interest noticeboard if you think the user is adding too much self-promotional information to the article.

File source problem with File:VisaWaiverProgramMaltRevised.png
Thanks for uploading File:VisaWaiverProgramMaltRevised.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 02:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Miss America
You're right! Thanks for the edit. Pr4ever (talk) 17:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello!
And thank you for your edits!

I'm discussing the Zoe Saldana article here. That user has asked me why Zoe is called "Puerto Rican", as though she's from Puerto Rico. I tried to explain that since Puerto Ricans are US citizens, the "American" was deemed to be redundant, here at Wikipedia. But then, why is there Category:Puerto Rican-Americans, with she in it? I'm a bit confused. Could you help us? If you'd like to torture yourself a bit, I recommend you read the discussion on that user talk page. :) SamEV (talk) 23:36, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

P.S. The reason I posted this here is because you're the one who added the Puerto Rico categories, recently:. SamEV (talk) 01:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

3RR Sonia Sotomayor
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Tvoz / talk 21:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DarrenMcGillis.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:DarrenMcGillis.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 05:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Next mag.0.0.0x0.432x407.jpeg
 Thanks for uploading File:Next mag.0.0.0x0.432x407.jpeg. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

What is "notable"?
In regards to your edit of the Puerto Rico National Cemetery article, what is "notable"? You have removed a Vietnam veteran, who was awarded the Legion of Merit. Is this award not notable? Are there other Puerto Rican solders who have this award and are buried in the PRNC?70.106.165.222 (talk) 23:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi XLR8TION. You do not have to add for people who are already in. I created because the user Bearcat deleted  from the articles for 15 LGBT Puerto Rican people who were not born in Puerto Rico. The two are basically the same, only that "from Puerto Rico" means born on the island. And the two categories are linked. Thanks!--Lawrlafo (talk) 18:04, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Toa Alta list of Notable people
It has come to my attention that you edited this section of the Toa Alta Wikipedia page and removed musician Felipe "Pipe" Cedeño Kuilan from the list. I ask why did you erase such a distinguished person. Felipe is an official musician from Puerto Rico con-decorated with multiple awards some of which come from the Capitol itself and whose hard work and long career have earned him the title of "El Presidente del Cuatro" I advise that you research further on a topic before making such a mistake.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Armando Riesco
I have nominated Armando Riesco, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Armando Riesco.

Undid Revision
Dude, I was Trying to Improve the PRican People article and you undid my rev here. I was inserting proper sentencing and grammar. The article is very informative but clearly has some grammar issues in the section I improved. Please feel free to correct it yourself, otherwise I still don't see a reason to undo my revision. Thanx! Quazgaa (talk) 14:01, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Very Nice! My motto is to leave articles a little better before leaving them.  Try to remember this before undoing some of the more constructive edits. BTW, Sorry for calling you Dude.  My intention was not to insult but to bring some informality to my post.  I apologize if any feelings were hurt Mr./Ms./Mrs. XLR8TION.  Thanks again for the improvement to the article.

Hugo Margenat
Ever hear of Hugo Margenat? To tell you the truth, I'm ashamed to say that I never heard of him until I wrote about him. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:45, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The thing that amazes me about Margenat is that he died so young, 24 years old, with so much talent and so much to offer. Can you imagine all that he would have given the world if he lived to a ripe old age? Tony the Marine (talk) 23:05, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

List of Lebanese people (Puerto Rico)
Hello XLR8TION!

You identified yourself as a "principal contributor" to this list so I thought you might be interested in some constructive critisism.

 * Gildo Masso - Lebanese ancestry is not referenced or mentioned on his Wiki article or on the 2 sources provided that I can find. (Both links seem broken in my browser).
 * Gilbert Mamery - Biographical Wikipedia Article lists no references, and since the list does neither there is no merit for the claim of Lebanese ancestry.
 * Gricel Mamery - Biographical Wikipedia Article lists general magazine, television, and newspaper references without links or citations, thus no merit to the claim.
 * Charlie Masso - Lebanese ancestry is not referenced or mentioned on his Wiki article or on the single reference that is provided.

As for Sandra Zaiter, I added a good Biographical External link on her article which would help in providing future citations.

I hope these insights help to improve upon this list and these articles. Quaz Gaa  18:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

UBS
Hi - I did remove your text and think these are just not worthy of inclusion as being only tangentially related to UBS and therefore inappropraite due to WP:UNDUE. I also think your edits have WP:NPOV issues. Please note that I have incorporated material events that paint UBS in a less than favorable light including (1) the UBS tax evasion situation (2) the massive losses as a result of the mortgage crisis (3) the losses related to Long Term Capital Management, (4) the Holocaust unclaimed accounts. I have also kept what I believe to be material events (i.e., certain lawsuits). I think my edits are very neutral in providing a history of the firm. I would like to explain each edit in turn

 * Swissair - this situation is not even mention in the Swissair article. You wrote "UBS was portrayed as responsible"  By whom? This is completely unreferenced and constitutes an attack against the bank and Marcel Ospel whom you name specifically.  And why is this important?  You wrote "the day after the grounding, thousands of demonstrators marched in front of the Swissair headquarters"  not in front of UBS's headquarters.  If anything this belongs in the Swissair article, but I have a hard time seeing this as a controversy worthy of note.

 * Healthsouth / Richard Scrushy - You describe HealthSouth and Richard Scrushy as a UBS client. From reading the articles a number of banks were involved with HealthSouth.  You wrote "Three senior bankers at UBS, Howard Capek, Benjamin Lorello and William McGahan, testified for congressional hearings, but no one was convicted of any wrongdoing".  First of all this is an issue of WP:BLP but also why is this important?  UBS was not fined or implicated?  This was a healthsouth scandal.

 * The $100 million penalty - you give no context for this text. Additionally your reference does not apply to the events you describe.  If you want to build out something in the appropriate historical section, I would not be opposed but still don't see this as a major event.  It was not covered extensively.  See this [NYT article.  Please don't add back just this one line however.

 * The insider trading section. This is just very poorly written.  I would suggest you redraft it and add it to the history section.  It could reasonably go (1) in the section marking the end of UBS's successes in the mid-2000s (2) somewhere in the mortgage crisis section as this news came out right as the first losses were being reported (3) with the tax evasion section to show that US gov't pressure was mounting on UBS.  But you need to show the outcome of this.  THis was 3 years ago so I am sure there is some resolution to this which you do not cover.

 * The Brazilian investigation - investigation for what? What was the resolution?  Especially because this business was sold in 2009 I think there needs to be something more material here to keep this text.  This would more appropriately go into the article about BTG Pactual.

So in the meantime I have removed the text you added. Please do not simply revert my change but think about my comments. I am happy to work with you but given the work that has gone in I don't want to see this article just become a dumping ground for tidbits, goossip and news which it was before. I had the article protected from an IP editor who was including unreferneced edits whitewshing UBS history but I will also prevent unreferenced negative comments from going in as well. |► ϋrбan яeneωaℓ • TALK  ◄| 04:07, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

List of Puerto Ricans
Luis my brother, some people are asking that you stick to the rules and add reliable verifiable sources whenever you add a name to the list. You know how it is. Take care. Tony the Marine (talk) 00:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to worry. Luis, I have come up with a new concept for our articles. I thought that it would be great to allow our readers to have some interactive relation with the articles and I started the "Audio" sections. I placed it in the Flags of Puerto Rico for starters and many more. I mean, I bet there are a lot of people who would like to hear Pedro Albizu Campos making a speech or Antonio Paoli sing an opera. Plus how fascinating it is to view the actual newsreel of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party Revolts of the 1950s or to watch Wilfredo Gomez in a fight? So, tell me how do you like my idea?

The Limelight
Hi. I guess I don't quite understand your objection to having the designer's name in the section of the article about the Marketplace. At first I thought your deletion was because the names were wrong, but a quick Google found the design firm recognized in press releases and articles. Including the name doesn't turn the section into a "resume", it's perfectly legitimate: we routinely include the architects of buildings, for instance, and interior design is often acknowledged where such information is known and pertinent. Is there something specific about this inclusion that you object to? If not, I think it would be best to leave it in, as accurate and relevant information. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:32, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Juliadeburgosusps.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Juliadeburgosusps.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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Courcelles 05:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

List of Lebanese people in the United Kingdom
Hi. I saw that you reverted my removal of unsourced entries from the List of Lebanese people in the United Kingdom. I have removed them again because this is a BLP issue. Please see the discussion at Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard, where it was concluded that all such lists should be fully sourced, with unsourced entries moved to the relevant talk pages.

Puerto Rican people
Hi. The edits you made HERE all appear to be from either self-published (www.stewartsynopsis.com) or otherwise non-RS such as blog commentaries (http://www.topix.com) and commercial sites (http://boricua.com). Also, the link for citation RE: 2010 census figures did not lead me to a page where the figures entered could be verified (also you may have overlooked updating the accessdate for the link as the accessdate entered on the day of the edits (Jan 19, 2011) is listed not as Jan 19, 2011 but as March 12, 2010). Could you review your edits THERE to ensure they in fact reflect what you intended, and that the sources are all reliable. Thanks. Mercy11 (talk) 23:04, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes I agree the article is being vandalised. Also Demographics of Puerto Rico has experienced similar vandalism. Another editor suspected a sockpuppet as shown HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE. Probably a good candidate for protecting an article would be if vandalism is occuring by several/many different people on ONE same article. If the same ONE user, on teh other hand, vandalises one or more article then the appropriate action would be blocking the user. That's my view. For now, let's wait and see what happens next. In my experience vandalisers eventually become victims of their own actions: either get tired of it, lose interest and leave, or realize that it's too many good editors against him/her and stop vandalism, lose interest and leave, or simply want to be disruptive for a while (maybe some sort of mental ailments I suppose) and, after drawing some attention, lose interest and leave. But they almost always leave before producing any real, permanent damage. Thanks for your note, and again I think either protection or a block would be in order soon. Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 05:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

The article was protected today. But, for 1 day?????? I am not sure what admin in his right mind would issue a 1-day protection! Maybe you can figure that out. Mercy11 (talk) 18:22, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Full protection?
I declined your RfPP request, but I don't think you meant to request full protection. Full protection means only administrators can edit the page. I'm pretty sure you wanted semi-protection, which prevents IPs and newbies from editing but allows everyone else. Something to bear in main for future requests so you don't leave admins scratching their heads. HJ Mitchell |  Penny for your thoughts?   05:40, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Consensus
It has been suggested that the "List of Puerto Ricans" be moved and renamed "List of notable Puerto Ricans". The current name reflects a misleading title since it is politcally incoreect and may lead to the misconception that any Puerto Rican may be included regardless of the explanation given in the introduction. Wikipedia does not allow that the term "famous" be used since that term depends on the perspection of what an individual may consider what the term "famous" means, however the term "notable" is widely accepted by Wikipedia since there is an established criteria of the meaning of the term and there are variuos "lists" in Wikipedia which currently use the term notable. Therefore, I am calling on a 7 day consensus as to the renaming the current list to "List of notable Puerto Ricans".

Drag queen pronouns
Hi there, I noticed you made an edit on Jessica Wild that since he remains a man, the prounouns should be "he." However, I've seen a similar but opposite post (on Jujubee (drag queen)'s page)changing all the "he"s to "she"s, as they refer to them as female on the show. I'm going to post on AMK1211's page as well, hoping we can find a place to come to a consensus on this issue (perhaps at drag queen? I can start it if you guys want.) Thanks!

Scotty McCreery
Luis, keep an eye on the Scotty McCreery article. Someone keeps removing the "See also" section that I added with the "Puerto Rican Portal" and the "List of famous Puerto Ricans" as if being a Puerto Rican as he claimed were a sin. Take care. Tony the Marine (talk) 23:32, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

John Leguizamo
If John Leguizamo does not publicly respond by June 18th to the acusations that his father made that he (the father) is 100% Colombian and not Puerto Rican as John has always claimed, therefore making John Leguizamo a full Colombian and not a half Puerto Rican, Leguizamo's name will taken off the list. This would mean that John Leguizamo has been lying tothe Puerto Rican people for years as did Sammy Davis Jr. Tony the Marine (talk) 23:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a tough and embarssing situation. His father is not Puerto Rican as he claimed with his lies, Leguizamo's parents are both Colombian therefore he does not have one once of Puerto Rican blood; and he has never resided in Puerto Rico. The fact that he is not Puerto Rican will be deleted from his bio and there is nothing that we can do. He my "feel" Puerto Rican, but to be a Puerto Rican and to "feel" Puerto Rican are two different things. I can accept the fact if he comes public and sets the record straight. For example if Leguizamo faced the situation and said something like this "I may not be a Puerto Rican by heritage, but I consider myself Puerto Rican and I'm proud of it" then that would be aceptable, but up until today, he hasn't been man enough to publically face the situation. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and even felt proud that he was Puerto Rican, but unless he comes public and tells the world exactly what he feels, I personally feel that he has lied and cheated us all.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Lebanese people in Switzerland

A tag has been placed on List of Lebanese people in Switzerland, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:18, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are geographically part of Asia but are considered politacally part of Europe.
Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are geographically part of Asia but are considered politacally part of Europe.

Either you put all three under Europe or Asia, but not leave one out. This is not about cultural and religious categorization.

Please do this for all three countries in the future. And also remember that the Middle East is not a continent, but a region of Asia, and all categorizations have been done according to continents.

 * Do you have a reliable source for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to be "politically" part of Europe, because that's news to me. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are south of the (Greater) Cauacasus Mountain range and thus part of Asia but are considered politacally part of Europe.

 * The categorization here is not done according to religion and "culture", which is not relevant in these list of diplomatic missions pages, but continents. I will put Azerbaijan a ("Muslim" country, no importance again) which also geographically lies in Europe, is politacally part of Europe. So do not forget to include Azerbaijan as well. And I will put the region of the Middle East under Asia, which it is part of.

 * Noraton talk 21:07, 23 October 2011 (UTC).

 * Can you continue to remove Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia together from Asia and the "Middle East" and put all three of them under Europe. Thank You. I will be busy putting the Middle East as a subsection under Asia in all list of diplomatic missions pages, though will not remove it, because annoyingly the Middle East, a region of Asia, has been falsely categorized as a continent while all categorizations have been done according to continents in the list of diplomatic missions pages.

 * Noraton talk 21:19, 23 October 2011 (UTC).

 * Like the three Caucasian countries, Turkey is also included and listed under Europe, despite the overlapping bicontinental geographical categorization of all these four countries, regardless of their religion and culture. So yes Turkey is included as well. Turkey is also memeber of the Council of Europe and virtually all European political, sporting and cultural organizations and is also a canditate country for the European Union (the only European organization that it is not a memeber of), and none of these four countries are members of any Asian political, sporting and cultural organizations.

Changes to the Diplomatic Mission articles
Hi XLR8TION,

I noticed you have made a large number of changes to the Diplomatic Mission by Country (DMBC) articles by moving Turkey from a country listed in 'Europe' to a country listed in 'Asia'.

There are many good reasons to argue it should be in one continent or in the other, such as membership with other bodies, physical geography, ethnic heritage, historical factors etc. People advocating Turkey's inclusion within Europe will rely on one set of arguments; people who believe Turkey is not within Europe will rely on another.

At the end of the day I do not want the DMBC articles to be a battleground for some contest. It is just a list.

So we rely on the United Nations geoscheme to determine on which continents are particular countries located. In the UN geoscheme, Turkey (as well as Cyprus, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, amongst others) is listed as being in Western Asia.

I believe the UN's Statistics Division is sufficiently apolitical and agnostic on whatever identity questions Turkey (and Europe) might have. Whereas arguments based on geography, history, demography, political membership are contestable, it is hard to argue that a more consistent scheme exists for categorising countries by continents.

I hope this resolves the matter. Could you please revert the changes you have made? Kransky (talk) 18:04, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * reply by XLR8TION follows - let us agree to debate this here
 * Tukey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are members of teh COuncil of Europe. Furthermore Turkey is a candidate member for European Union membersip. Another editor brought up the same fact that the countries as part of the continent as Europe includes anything north of the Urals like Armenia and Azerbiajan and Turkey is considered part of Europe due to the presence of Istanbul in Europe. I will not revert no article until a LENGTHY discussion is conducted. The UNited Nations is not the only multinational organization in the world as a member of NATO, the COuncil of Europe and possibly the European Union, Turkey does not fall under Western Asia. Armenia and Azerbaijan also are georgraphically part of Europe. Please read the criteria for Member states of the Council of Europe. Article 4 of the Council of Europe Statute specifies that membership is open to any "European" State. That says enough and therefore the category will remain unchanged. Religion has nothing to do with where a nation belongs. Cultural, historic ties, and most importantly geography does.--XLR8TION (talk) 18:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I am more than happy to discuss the matter with you substantively, with civility and in good faith.
 * The problem with the membership argument is that it can be trumped by itself. Yes, Turkey is a member of the Council of Europe.  But it is not a member of the European Union, which is a far more significant organisation with treaty-based obligations on its members.  There is no sign that Turkey will become a full member anytime soon.
 * I may agree that Turkey is a "European" nation. But it is also an "Asian" nation, demonstrated by its membership of other regional bodies.  So do we list Turkey twice?  A more logical approach to lists is to select the one category that is more compelling.  Kransky (talk) 12:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Paredespr.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Paredespr.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

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.

Source for notable
This edit to the article for Eastchester, Bronx added Christopher Williams (singer) as a notable. There was no source added, no mention of Eastchester or Edenwald in his article and no reliable and verifiable source found in a Google search to connect him to either Eastchester or Edenwald.As such, I removed the entry. What information did you have that established a connection (including the name of his street) and why did you add the content without a source? Alansohn (talk) 22:35, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Inesmendoza.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Inesmendoza.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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:20, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
