NowCommons: File:Brandt's Cormorant Alcatraz.jpg

File:Brandt's Cormorant Alcatraz.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Phalacrocorax penicillatus 1.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Phalacrocorax penicillatus 1.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on File:Andrew-Strauss-Cricketer.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Malvern College

Hi Stephen Turner! The Old Malvernians/alumnae section that you contributed to in Malvern College finally got so long that it had to be split off into a separate list page. In doing so, it's been found that for many of those noble people there is no actual proof that they ever went to the school. However, they probably did, and the entries were made in good faith. Nevertheless, the rules require everything in the encyclopedia to be verifiably sourced. It would be great therefore, if you could take a look at the list and help out if you can with providing some references. The people all have their own Wiki articles, but it is no guarantee that the mentions of Malvern College (if any) are correctly cited. Thanks. -- Kudpung ( talk) 16:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Blue-crowned Motmot back.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata.
