Orphaned non-free image File:Chris Evans as Steve Rogers Captain America.jpg

35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:Chris Evans as Steve Rogers Captain America.jpg ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair 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) 17:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Message

Hi, I'd just like to apologise if any of my behaviour seemed disruptive with regards to the Steve Rogers image. I never meant to be disruptive or edit-war, and I guess I was somewhat confused when the image was reverted, as I had thought there was consensus and that the sourcing was ok. I will try to engage constructively to sort the raised issues on the article. Thanks. IronManCap (talk) 16:48, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Super Dragon Ball Heroes

Hi Netoholic, I'd just like to mention that the series ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' isn't actually a TV series ↗, it's an Original net animation ↗ (similar to Original video animation ↗), so I moved it from Super Dragon Ball Heroes (TV series) ↗ to Super Dragon Ball Heroes (web series) ↗. Cheers.★Trekker (talk) 20:23, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
: {{re|*Treker}} - Fair enough. I didn't see any episode lengths on the list - web series tend to be <10 minute episodes vs TV series which are 30-60m. -- Netoholic @ 20:29, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
::I have not seen the show myself, but the IMDb page ↗ says the episodes are 10 minutes.★Trekker (talk) 20:33, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

RfC on racial hereditarianism at the R&I talk-page

An RfC at Talk:Race and intelligence ↗ revisits the question, considered last year at WP:FTN ↗, of whether or not the theory that a genetic link exists between race and intelligence is a fringe theory. This RfC supercedes the recent RfC on this topic at WP:RSN ↗ that was closed as improperly formulated.

Your participation is welcome. Thank you. NightHeron (talk) 22:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Newspapers.com Publisher Extra content?

Hello there! Last month, I made note ↗ that the following statement on the Wikipedia:Newspapers.com ↗ page, "Free accounts through the Wikipedia Library '''now do include''' access to ''Newspapers.com Publisher Extra'' content", doesn't seem to be the case for me. I'm unable to access a number of newspapers, including the ''St. Petersburg Times'', the ''Miami Herald'', and Allentown, Pennsylvania's ''The Morning Call''. When I attempt to do so, I'm greeted with a message that reads "You need a Publisher Extra Subscription to view this page". How can I access these newspapers? —'''''<span style="color:#0640e0; text-shadow:#66ff66 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">Matthew</span>''''' - <span style="font-size:80%">(talk ↗)</span> 21:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Newspapers.com access

Hi, Netoholic! Hope this finds you well. I am in the process of writing some articles using Newspapers.com ↗. While the free access is pretty helpful on its own (I managed to write 9 GAs from scratch in five days), the OCR versions leave a lot to be desired, and it kind of feels like wringing blood with a stone with some of them (it takes way longer than being able to just click the image, and there are lots of references I just can't use at all). I submitted an application ↗ on September 2, but it hasn't been reviewed yet -- is there anything I can do to speed it along, or are there just a bunch of applications to get through? '''jp'''×'''g''' 23:57, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Newspapers.com renewal error

Hi there,

I requested a renewal for complimentary access to Newspapers.com ↗ on January 8. However, I cannot access the full archive. When I clicked on "Account Details," it reads under the Subscription info, "You're currently a Registered Guest. This free subscription gets you access to search newspapers but you will not be able to view the full page. Get a paid subscription for access."

I was reading a previous discussion of a similar Wikipedian who encountered the same problem, and it turned out because the e-mail used on the Wikipedia Library application was different than the one on the Newspapers.com account. Likewise, my account listed on the application was birdienest81@hotmail.com, but the Newspapers.com account had jgarin07@gmail.com. So I changed the one on the Newspapers.com account to the hotmail one and changed my username to birdienest81. I wonder if this should solve the problem.

Achieving consensus at Talk:Cross-country skiing (sport)?

Netoholic, you are invited to participate in a ranked-choice poll at Talk:Cross-country skiing (sport)#Ranked-choice poll of alternatives offered ↗, which may help arrive at a consensus among the choices discussed. I have set up an opportunity for you to do so. Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 17:53, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

:Hi Netoholic, I understand your good-faith concern about WP:NOTVOTE ↗, which says, "The words "vote" and "voting" have a variety of connotations, but they are commonly associated specifically with ballot-casting or majority voting." It goes on to say, "Different terminology (e.g. "seeking views", "polling" and "commenting") may be preferable." Indeed, what I have offered was a '''poll''' to help guide those participating in the discussion to consensus in a situation where none of the alternatives offered is "wrong"; there's just a question of preference among them.
: WP:NOVOTE goes on to state the "communal norm that it is "not the vote" that matters, but the reasoning behind the !vote that is important." I suggest that the reasoning has been presented over a range of similar alternatives, so the poll, complete with comment, helps focus the discussion to where a choice that people can live with emerges.
:I invite you to remove the collapsed format and participate. If you have a better path to consensus, I'm very interested in knowing it! Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 15:03, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Bratz Fashion Party Fever Game ↗ moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Bratz Fashion Party Fever Game ↗, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. <small>(? ↗)</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability ↗ is of central importance ↗ on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace ↗ (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline ↗ and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. -- Aunva6 ↗<sup>talk ↗ - contribs ↗</sup> 21:02, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

:The draft was moved back into article space, and more sources have been added. Hopefully more can be found, and if not it can be merged somewhere rather than deleted. BOZ (talk) 14:14, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
