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:
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.

As it's a British logo, that may not work - I have been advised in the past that the threshold of originality is much stricter for UK logos (see COMMONS:COM:TOO UK) and so I am very cautious with applying licences to logos of British organisations and products. So I would advise leaving the British logos out of your {{Maybe free media}} list. Cnbrb (talk) 19:06, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
File:Dark Horde symbol.svgYou added a "maybe free" tag to the above file. As not only its uploader but also the original logo creator back in 1975, I did mention under "Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)": "Any illustration of the logo would still belong to the organization, thus be unfree, so you may as well accept this nice clean copy. (Bummer.)" In other words, any organization's registered logo belongs to that organization, thus is unfree. However, this is acceptable to use on articles *about* that organization. You might find a different depiction of the logo; you would not find a more-free one. – •Raven .talk 05:31, 18 February 2023 (UTC) Hi, just out of curiosity, why have you added Template:Maybe free media to several pieces of WP:NFC that I've uploaded? --- Tbf69 P • T 15:35, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Discussion continued from Talk:Chronic fatigue syndromeThe fact that this condition pre dates "covid" and that many people struggling with this condition never had "covid" must be taken into consideration. This discussion has nothing to do with the coronovirus, but instead looking at other possible causes. There are many articles published on the national libary of medicine detailing the ill effects on rats when exposed to the levels of radiation that celluar and wifi towers emit. And this is openly used in the research of diabetes type 1. So if rats suffer from Islet insulin secretion and content, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant status in pancreas (aka diabetes type 1) when being exposed to 2.45 ghz for 4 hours a day for 45 days. How are other living creatures including human beings being affected when being exposed to 24-54 ghz 24/7? While its easy and conveinent to blame this condition on "covid 19" there is plently of research to suggest there are other plausable causes for cfs/me And that is what THIS discussion is about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.7.54.248 (talk) 21:58, 18 February 2023 (UTC) Miami University Press logoHey The Quirky Kitty!

WEMR-LP moved to draftspaceAn article you recently created, WEMR-LP, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " TullerHi QuirkyKitty, thanks for your excellent and thorough work on the “CFS” article especially the crucial (IMO) change (hopefully soon) to “ME/CFS.” Letting u know I’m going to edit the draft on David Tuller. IMO, there was way too much reliance on the horrendous Reuters article- a pure hit piece that seriously misrepresents the situation and is extremely biased. Yes, it is from a source considered “generally reliable.” WP:REUTERS Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Reuters However, there can be individual articles such as this one from a “generally reliable” source which not reliable. I think it’s pretty obvious the whole article is character assassination and I won’t detail all the examples as I might as well just cut and paste the entire article. One is the correction posted at the bottom saying it now includes the fact that Tuller is an academic. They only changed this, IIRC after (natch) a blogpost by Tuller strongly objecting and many patients contacting the author and Reuters. Take out the basic fact that Tuller’s “campaigning” (“harassment” of scientists as it seems to me pretty clearly she was implying) is work product of UC Berkeley School of Public Health and constitutes half of the job description of his academic appointment there, and this story as was written was one of a bunch of crazy campaigners including an unqualified lone nutball spending all of his unemployed time flying around the world harassing innocent scientists resulting in them leaving the field and thus patients suffering from lack of bona fide research. Even though the correction was made, it shows the animating motive of the article- to use misrepresentation by extremes of omission and mischaracterization to tell a defamatory story. In any event, even if it were a WP:RS article, it is not required that every relevant RS be cited by an article. There isnt that much RS material out there about Tuller, but there is enough for this article considering the article should be relatively brief because though I believe he meets the notability standard, he is close to the low end of notability IMJ and WP’s readability guideline favors concision for articles with relatively low notability subjects.

It should be considered a calligraphy work as most institution names in China are inscribed by famous people or calligraphers. Chinese copyright law protects original works of authorship, including calligraphy. When someone creates a unique calligraphy piece, they automatically hold the copyright to that work. The United States also recognizes copyright protection for original works of authorship, including calligraphy. Like in China, the creator of a calligraphy piece holds the copyright to that work upon creation. Benjamin Ceci (talk) 13:42, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Melvin Ramsay, notable?I've just spent about an hour searching, and was wondering if you're familiar with any other sources. I feel he must be notable given he was the ME pioneer, but I've only been able to find a single Guardian obituary (User:Femke/sandbox#Melvin_Ramsay_sources), and a few single-paragraph or less discussions in papers.. Maybe a case can be made for WP:NBASIC, combining a larger number of sources with less in-depth discussion. There are two awards named after him from ME patient groups, which may allow for a (weak?) case to be made under 1e of Wikipedia:Notability (academics). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

This image was published in New Zealand in 1922, but in order for it to be in the public domain in the United States, it would have to have been published in the United States. Do you have any evidence of such publication? BD2412 T 20:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
PD-TextlogosHello, so I see you are pretty knowledgeable with the "Maybe free media" tag, I already made a discussion on Village Pump about the quality of the TOO is high for them to move them to Commons? Here are the files:

Holbein imageHi there, thanks for sorting out the downgrading of the image, would you mind helping me understand how I specify the logic behind including it at The Ambassadors (Holbein). The image was automatically removed AIUI and I am somewhat clueless about the tagging. The fair use justification is that it was clearly produced by the author to aid understanding of his method to view the skull, and necessary in order to understand his concept. It's borderline whether it would even count as a new creative work, but that's probably not relevant. There is clearly no impact on the value of the original, it is not competing for sales etc. Let me know if you can help! thank you :) Jim Killock (talk) 01:44, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
