Cosmetic edits

Changing Image: to File: has no affect on the readable page, therefore it is a "cosmetic" edit and should not be done without a more substantive change. These edits just clutter-up watchlists. <b style="color:#034503">MB</b> 02:42, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Template:S-line/QD right/8 and Template:S-line/XA left/9

Hey, you've created Template:S-line/QD right/8 ↗ and Template:S-line/XA left/9 ↗ but haven't used them anywhere. Are they not needed? Gonnym (talk) 09:03, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

:I made the templates because there are a few articles (e.g. Qingdao North railway station ↗, Fangzhicheng station ↗) which use these templates in their infoboxes. Dpm853 (talk) 09:21, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
::But these two haven't been added yet (Template:S-line/XA left/9 ↗ has been unused for a month). Do you know which article specifically should use these? Gonnym (talk) 09:25, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
:::Sometimes the articles which are supposed to use these line templates haven't been created yet hence why they remain unused. Most Chinese subway lines on Wikipedia have these line templates for station infoboxes even if they are not currently used in any articles. Dpm853 (talk) 09:34, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
::::I see. There are currently only 5 s-line templates recently created which are unused. Try and not create templates before they are actually needed. If a template is unused it appears on database reports and in general it just isn't useful. Gonnym (talk) 10:00, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
:::::No worries, I'll keep that in mind. Dpm853 (talk) 10:04, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Don't be afraid to edit! ↗ Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.

It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.

If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page ↗. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus ↗.

When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source ↗.

If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide ↗ and disclose your connection.

Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Concern regarding Draft:Shenzhen Western Bus ↗

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, Dpm853. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Shenzhen Western Bus ↗, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted ↗, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it ↗ again or request ↗ that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted ↗ so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

July 2023

25px|alt=Information icon|link= ↗ Hello. I have noticed that you {{usertalk other|often ↗|often}} edit without using an edit summary ↗. Please do your best to '''always fill in the summary field'''. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences ↗. Thanks!  Fork99 (talk) 07:21, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:IM Motors logo.svg

32px|left ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:IM Motors logo.svg ↗'''. 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 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 <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Dpm853&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. 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. 

'''<span style="color: red;">This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history ↗ of each individual page for details.</span>''' Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
