Orphaned non-free image File:Bank of dave the musical.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Bank of dave the musical.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free 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).

November 2025 WikiProject Unreferenced articles backlog drive – award

Newspaper.com clippings

Re. Your comments on the use of clippings from Newspapers.com. Are there official guidelines on their use? I'm also interested in your comments on the links to page images breaking as it's not an issue I've encountered. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 16:42, 22 December 2025 (UTC))

Thanks for your explanation. Leaving aside broken links, the rationale for using clippings is deeply flawed because only five may be viewed without the need to take out a subscription. Viewing the same clipping more than once counts towards that total. My opinion is that in this respect clippings are therefore of very limited value, and the fact I added links to the pages containing the cited articles was a deliberate choice. The text of Wikipedia:Newspapers.com is highly misleading. As for links going AWOL, before I could make a judgement I'd want to see an explanation why this might be the case, preferably accompanied by data from a scientifically rigorous analysis in order to determine the scale of the problem. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 10:44, 23 December 2025 (UTC))

I've now amended the text of Wikipedia:Newspapers.com so that it reflects reality, the other issue being that the complete newspaper page containing a clipped article can only be accessed if the reader takes out a 7-day trial (or full) subscription. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 12:25, 28 December 2025 (UTC))

Also, clippings archived by the Wayback Machine can't be accessed without a subscription of some kind, which WP:Newspapers didn't make clear. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 13:08, 28 December 2025 (UTC))

File source problem with File:Children's Letters to God.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Children's Letters to God.jpg. 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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Proposed deletion of Ellie Banke

The article Ellie Banke has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:BLP1E failure – briefly received coverage when a video went viral and she appeared with Ed Sheeran, but no ongoing coverage or substance for notability.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Reywas92^Talk 03:51, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
