Hi, could you explain what the difference is between creating a new page through here and from another article? I managed to do so before this could get reviewed. Thanks! TheOnlyWiki (talk) 16:16, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:William H. Sanders applauds during his address opening the 2025-2026 academic year.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:William H. Sanders applauds during his address opening the 2025-2026 academic year.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. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 15:11, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Engineerchange. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, William H. Sanders, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Engineerchange (talk) 01:03, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
