- Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, as long as the articles remain in the drafting process outside the mainspace, the images remain technically "orphaned". Hence, currently the only way to save them is to move the drafts into the mainspace within a week. If this deadline is too soon but you still have the logos saved to hard disk, not to worry - they can always be re-uploaded once the articles are established in the mainspace. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. Sincerely, SuperMarioMan 01:17, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Checa985. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Kids Ocean Day HK, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:29, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:33, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Non-free content policy and guideline
Please do not place or replace any non-free images to any pages except for actual articles, as you did at
- The problem is not linking to pictures, it is uploading them. You can't link to pictures in an article anyway, so I don't know why you would want to. The only pictures that can be uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikipedia Commons are pictures that have been released for free use. If you took it, that is no problem. If you got it from the web, it is. There is a narrow exception called "fair use" which will allow you to upload an image of a logo to illustrate an article about the holder of the copyright on the logo. Other than that, all images anywhere on Wikipedia, even in your sandbox, have to be released for general use. That means if someone gives you an image and tells you you can use it to illustrate "such and so" article, but nothing else, you cannot use it. Hope that clears things up a bit. talk) 21:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC)]

Logos fall under the fair use exception; am I correct in thinking logos I have uploaded are legitimate but I may not have provided all necessary information (source, author, etc), and that is why users are flagging some? Thanks :) Checa985 (talk) 01:37, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Fair use only applies on articles about the logo's copyright holder. Since you took your articles down in your sandbox, I am not sure about how to answer your question. A point, tho: You must fill in every box on the upload form. Where you got it, where you plan on using it, the fair use rationale (of which there are examples to use). So, if they have not yet been deleted and you apply them to the appropriate article, all you will have to do is go back and fill in the blanks on the rest of the info on the file's page. Copyright issues are a tough place to end up for a new editor. They are very confusing and traumatic. I will see if there is anything I can do to help you, but my guess is you have the info needed to finish out the upload info and there won't be much I can do. talk) 05:21, 19 December 2012 (UTC)]
On notability
You have created a few articles that have been proposed for deletion. I would highly suggest that you familiarize yourself with
- You are doing good as far as adding sources goes, but please remember, what is needed is sources that establish notability. That means showing that someone has noticed the subject of the article. That's why secondary sources (like newspapers, books and magazines, TV and radio news) are so important. It isn't absolutely necessary that these sources be web-based. There are templates to cite newspapers, books and magazines available and they are not hard to use. Oh, I wanted to tell you too...Sorry some people are so abrupt here. You are trying to make a good contribution and you have to learn to do it. Some people forget how hard using the software here actually is. So please don't let people that leave you snappy notes or templates discourage you. Teahouse will always give you answers without attitude. talk) 21:28, 18 December 2012 (UTC)]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plasticity Forum until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:48, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I am wondering if you happen to be affiliated or have a relationship with the above entity? Same question would apply to
I am acquainted with the director of Ocean Recovery Alliance which organizes Plasticity Forum, but I do not receive any benefits from them monetary or other. I'm currently a peace corps volunteer and I have used some of their resources and information in my work because I have found it useful. I made the pages as a way to learn a bit about making a wiki page and chose to do so on an organisation I thought did interesting work. They are not meant to be promotional.
