Tenses

Hello,

Creative works "are" not "were", unless they no longer exist. For example: you would not refer to the Mona Lisa as "was a painting", because it clearly "is a painting".

Take care,

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Andrea elson.jpg)

25px ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':Image:Andrea elson.jpg ↗'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use ↗. However, it is currently orphaned ↗, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions ↗" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:20, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
