Replaceable non-free use File:Father David Michael Moses YouTube channel logo.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Father David Michael Moses YouTube channel logo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file's talk 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. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 14:49, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Aligned, Multiple-transient Events in the First Palomar Sky Survey
edit
On 9 January 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aligned, Multiple-transient Events in the First Palomar Sky Survey, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that "transients" that appear in 1950s celestial images have been attributed to defects in the Palomar Observatory's photographic plates? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aligned, Multiple-transient Events in the First Palomar Sky Survey. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aligned, Multiple-transient Events in the First Palomar Sky Survey), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
An explanation for content removal
editI removed a portion of this because I just don't see how it is significant or encyclopedic. If you choose to restore it I certainly won't edit war about it. But that the guy owns a restaurant seems to me on the same level as the name of his favorite houseplant - perhaps reported somewhere, but squarely in WP:NOT territory.

Ames coat of arms
editHello. I happened to look at the Ames coat of arms, and I don't think it's correct. The blazon at Crozier is "Argent, on a bend cotised between two annulets sable, a quatrefoil between two roses of the field." The roses don't appear in the file, and I think the annulets sable should go on the field, not the bend. Also, on the crest, the annulet is or, not sable. Thanks for considering this. What do you think?
—JerryFriedman (Talk) 02:50, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
- JerryFriedman - yes, you're 100% correct. It's been a bit so I'm not sure where I read it as "a quatrefoil between two annulets of the field" (or if I mis-emblazoned it) but Crozier is obviously definitive. Can you create a new one? If not, I can if not but it might e a bit, in which case we should remove this in the interim. Chetsford (talk) 03:54, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks, Chetsford. Unfortunately, I know nothing about making heraldic images, so I'm leaving it up to you. I understand this isn't your top priority, so I agree with removing it till you get to it. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 12:38, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- JerryFriedman - I'm traveling and not able to access a stable connection for a few days. Would you mind terribly removing it from the Ames article and amending the description at the Commons to note something along the lines of it being an erroneous emblazon? I'll be able to update the file at the Commons with a correct version in about a week. Thank you very much! Chetsford (talk) 19:32, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
