Non-free rationale for File:Christmas Saves The Year.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Christmas Saves The Year.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Christmas Saves The Year.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Christmas Saves The Year.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) 18:27, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2021 Boulder shooting source question

Hi - I'm struggling to find the section of this source that supports the claim that there was a separate unrelated shooting in another part of Boulder. The 2021 Boulder shooting article's edit history is too convoluted to figure this out without wasting time, but I think you were the one that added that part of the article and was just wondering if you could point me to the text I should be looking for - because of the news coverage of this event, I'm not able to find coverage of an unrelated incident because the mass shooting is obviously overshadowing any results for such a query. If you weren't the one that added that, please ignore this! Thanks, Cran32 (talk | contributions) 02:54, 23 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Hey, no problem. I was the one who added that, and I'm trying to find the section in that article. There definitely was something. I'll track it down. Driftybiscuit (talk)

The section appears to have been edited out in the source. You can see the original material here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210323010145/https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/03/22/us/boulder-colorado-shooting/the-shots-are-getting-closer-witnesses-recounted-moments-of-terror-inside-and-outside-the-store where it says "The Boulder Police Department also sent out an emergency alert for another area of town, asking residents there to shelter in place while they investigated a report of an “armed, dangerous individual.”" They cite a tweet from Boulder Police Department: https://twitter.com/boulderpolice/status/1374136465358209027. However this tweet doesn't really corroborate it, which might be why the removed the claim. I have heard it from other sources though. I will see if I can dig something else up. Driftybiscuit (talk)

Sorry for the late response; thank you for your diligent efforts! Cran32 (talk | contributions) 13:23, 23 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Thank you for letting me know! Driftybiscuit (talk) 00:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Five Star Chemicals (March 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Sungodtemple were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

All except references #17 and #18 are non-independent. One does not mention Five Star Chemicals, and the other only contains a passing mention. Please also avoid bare URLs.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Five Star Chemicals and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

A link to an Apple Podcast is not a reliable source, nor is sourcing fivestarchemicals as they are the entity that owns/is connected to the trademark. Entire mechanism section is uncited.

CS1 error on Saison

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Saison, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Your submission at Articles for creation: Star San (April 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Xkalponik was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hardly any cited sources are actually about the subject or solely focus on it. In-depth coverage is a must for a topic to pass our notability policies. Passing mentions or brief coverage is not enough.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
