Edit explanation

Hello. Can you please explain the reasoning for your edit ↗ to Television in New Zealand ↗. It is difficult to understand the purpose of it from the information in the edit summary and it doesn't seem to be constructive to me. Thanks. MangoMan11 (talk) 06:38, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
:: Hi, the purpose of this edit was to remove the partial list of international streaming services which isn't really relevant to television in New Zealand. This list was not exhaustive and would be very long if it incorporated every international streaming service available in New Zealand. It is best to keep it to local services.

File permission problem with File:WWE SmackDown current stage.jpg

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:WWE SmackDown current stage.jpg ↗'''. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA ↗ or another acceptable free license (see this list ↗) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or

Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here ↗. If you take this step, add {{tl|permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org'''.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗, use a tag such as {{tl|non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use ↗, and add a rationale ↗ justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags ↗ for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Socks_01}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy ↗. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:TV32 NZ logo.png

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading ''':File:TV32 NZ logo.png ↗'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline ↗ is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag ↗; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page ↗.

Wrestling Inc

Just as a note - please do not make claims from an unreliable source. Wrestling Inc is listed as unreliable. A look at the WP article provides better sources so Grand Slam Australia now stays on the list. Addicted4517 (talk) 11:06, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:NZWPW Tag Team Championship.jpg

64px|left|alt=Image Copyright problem|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading :File:NZWPW Tag Team Championship.jpg ↗.

This file is a derivative work ↗, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the file description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright ↗ very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the '''license''' and the '''source''' of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a '''copyright tag ↗''' to the image description page ↗.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Socks_01}} your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page ↗. {{You can request undeletion}} Thanks again for your cooperation. — Ирука<sup>13 ↗</sup> 15:50, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Bunnings NPC, Mitre 10 Cup etc

Hi, I've noticed that you are changing the name of articles about previous seasons of the National Provincial Championship. Can you, please, undo those changes? You can't change the official name of a competition retrospectively. Bunnings NPC was the official name of the competition for years; it was called Mitre 10 Cup before that and it had different names over the years. We still have to wait and see what the official name of the competition is going to be this year, because a new sponsor hasn't been announced yet, but that doesn't change anything for the previous seasons. So again, please, undo your changes! Thanks, Ruggalicious (talk) 07:39, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
