Diana Trask

Hi, thank you for expanding Diana Trask ↗. I have fixed some errors with sfn references and wonder if you know there are scripts to highlight them? Otherwise it is easy to make small errors which mean that the references don't match the bibliography. I use Svick's script, there are some instructions about it here ↗. TSventon (talk) 00:48, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

{{ping|TSventon}} Hi, I actually did not know about this, thank you! I read through the link but I still do not quite understand how to use this. I'm better with visual directions rather. Do you know if there is a video located on YouTube somewhere that may help with my understanding of this? ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 22:10, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

::{{ping|ChrisTofu11961}} I have found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-7AuyWC7aU, where the first minute explains how to instal a rating tool (The next three minutes explain how to use the rating tool). See the first three lines of User:Evad37/rater#Installation for the written installation instructions.

::The equivalent three lines for the sfn error script are at User:Svick/HarvErrors#Installation. There is an example of an error on the same page and the tool should display {{red|'''Harv error: this link doesn't point to any citation.'''}} next to the reference once installed.

Linda Martell

All the pics were deleted from Linda Martell ↗. Do you think you could find a replacement one? '''Ten Pound Hammer''' • (What did I screw up now?) 17:25, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of :File:Billie Jo Spears--I Will Survive--Single Version.jpg ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The file :File:Billie Jo Spears--I Will Survive--Single Version.jpg ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗. The proposed deletion notice added to the file should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history ↗ for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:30, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Lynn Anderson-Rose Garden 1970 single cover.jpg

32px|left ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:Lynn Anderson-Rose Garden 1970 single cover.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 {{Tlx|Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} '''below''' the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> 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 [{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=ChrisTofu11961&namespace=6}} 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. 

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history ↗ for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:32, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Where in the World (Sylvia album)

Just a heads-up, the one source in Where in the World (Sylvia album) ↗ is dead and tried to hijack my browser. '''Ten Pound Hammer''' • (What did I screw up now?) 04:24, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Billie Jo Spears questions

I am messaging you because you wrote the article on Billie Jo Spears and I am looking for someone who can help me with a memory of her. In the 1960s, my family lived next door to Billie Jo's sister, her husband and their kids (4 or 5 of them). Their last name was Love, if memory serves me correctly. They (the sister and husband) sang and played in bars also. My sister and I use to babysit their kids and sometimes, Billie Jo brought hers also for us to watch.

Do you recognize the name Love and her sister? Any info?

Thanks for reading,

Orphaned non-free image File:Connie Smith-Love Never Fails.jpg

35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:Connie Smith-Love Never Fails.jpg ↗'''. 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 ↗).

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) 03:12, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
