File:PerpetualNovena.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

An image used in this article, File:PerpetualNovena.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

What should I do?

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

Find alternate Image?

The first image is OK but it very traditional. I wonder if a more suitable image might be available; one that reflects a more contemporary understanding of prayer and meditation in a Christian context?LFlagg (talk) 02:44, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence in Article titled "Novena" implying that Christians praise the Virgin Mary and Saints.

In the Wikipedia article titled "Novena", The first sentence of the final paragraph under "History" says that "Within the Roman Catholic tradition, novena prayers typically include a praise of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary or another saint, and a personal petition." This implies that Christians praise the Virgin Mary and saints, which is untrue as Christians only praise God. 115.70.133.39 (talk) 05:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
