Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with... How do I change the auto-populating information on a book I cite frequently? For example, when I try to cite it, the information is incomplete and formatted incorrectly. The source in question is here: ^[1] Penndyl (talk) 14:44, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Other than having "author" in the |last= parameter instead of |last=Beers, what information is incomplete or otherwise incorrect? To me it looks okay. More information about referencing books can be found at the template itself, {{cite book}}, as well as WP:REFB (though the latter is more for general assistance). If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

Replaceable fair use File:Wanda Williams.png

Thanks for uploading File:Wanda Williams.png. 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:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Penndyl

Thank you for creating Kipona.

Good start. While doing my review I noticed that it seems short on sources for the festival itself and the type of coverage that would be derived from such sources. I did a search and many more sources exist. I marked it as reviewed. Happy editing1

Pennsylvania Paper & Supply

Hello. I just created Draft:Pennsylvania Paper & Supply Company about the company used in the opening credits of the Office. Would you mind taking a look and letting me know if it's ok? Or, if it is, could you move it to the mainspace? Thank so much for your help.Coffee312 (talk) 21:10, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Delaware County Bureau of Park Police Patch.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Delaware County Bureau of Park Police Patch.png. 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) 17:19, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

maplink in infoboxes

Hey there. I noticed an inventive bit of syntax you had applied in [1]. Sadly it deviated from the specification and caused an error when we finally implemented coordinate parsing into an embedded mapframe :) For the record, please refer to current {{infobox settlement}} documentation when you want to add more maps in the future. --Joy (talk) 23:26, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
