Speedy deletion nomination of File:South Korean National Assembly Impeaching Han Duck-soo (December 27, 2024).jpg

A tag has been placed on File:South Korean National Assembly Impeaching Han Duck-soo (December 27, 2024).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. charlotte ^👸🎄 23:51, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination.

Hello, I'm Belbury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of rediscovered films, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. An old archive.org file can't by itself tell us what happened to that file next. Belbury (talk) 16:23, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Coordinated editing or use of multiple accounts

Hello, PublicDomainFan08, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as CMBGAMER 2018 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 16:34, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Ryan Borgwardt with his wife.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Ryan Borgwardt with his wife.jpg. 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. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:25, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Arrest of Yoon Suk Yeol

Please do not do this. It's vandalism. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 16:10, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

What did I do that was vandalism? The revision doesn't say what was wrong PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 17:37, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

File:Ryan Borgwardt in 2024.jpeg listed for discussion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Ryan Borgwardt in 2024.jpeg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:58, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Your image uploads

Twice now you have uploaded an image of Ryan Borgwardt. In both cases, and also in other files you have uploaded, you have seemed to be under the impression that it's ok to upload non-free media because there isn't a free license equivalent available. This is patently false. Please read WP:NFCC #1, and note that it says "or could be created". We do not use non-free media in the vast majority of cases where it may be possible to get a free image that would serve a similar purpose. You should also read Foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy #3, where it discusses living people. We do not allow images like this. Borgwardt is alive, and even if he was in prison we would not be using a non-free image of him. So far, every image you have uploaded has either been deleted or, in the last case, about to be deleted. I would ask you to please reconsider uploading non-free images until you clearly understand our WP:NFCC policy and WP:NFC guideline. There's a lot to digest and understand. If you have questions, let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 01:22, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

I was told that involving the wife was what broke the rule, so I removed her so it wouldn't break it PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 01:23, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

That is one of the issues, yes. The issue I noted above also applies. Please do not upload an image of him, nor any other non-free image, without gaining a strong understanding of WP:NFCC and WP:NFC. --Hammersoft (talk) 03:37, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

Stuff like Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion/2023_August_18#File:Lucy_Letby_mugshot.png can happen, but it's rare. If Borgwardt gets life imprisonment, there might be a case. Otherwise, we wait until he steps in front of the right camera. You might find The Heroic Photographers Fixing Bad Celeb Portraits On Wikipedia interesting.

My edits

I felt some assassination articles are far far too much detail discursive to the subject of this article. details about Lincoln are in the main article; this article needs to focus only on the circumstances of the attack, or details not appropriate for the main article -- see for example. Also, this is an article on every assassination attempt, not about Lincoln's last moments, the sheer amount of space devoted to the expression upon Lincoln's face when he died is excessive. The man was comatose, from the moment he was shot he was already dead. It would surely fit better on the Lincoln assassination article itself. 78.150.9.200 (talk) 09:03, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kim Yong-hyun (general), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Combined Forces Command. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:54, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix it when I can. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 20:26, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you

Wanted to thank you for your edits on South Korean politics. Your work has been really solid. Keep it up! grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 23:09, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome! It's interesting stuff so I keep up with it a lot. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 23:12, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

As a heads up, if you're interested we have a channel for South Korean politics on the Wikimedia WP:DISCORD; a few Korean speakers (incl. me) there translate snippets of articles and stories that never appear in English language media. I don't edit much on current SK politics but I and others there follow it very closely. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 23:15, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Oh I read South Korean articles myself. I tend to use translators to get the basic idea of what's being said. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 23:17, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Nice, sounds good. The channel is also nice to gossip and discuss what's going on as well. If you're ever interested you're welcome to join 🙂 grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 23:27, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Tweet image

Hi PublicDomainFan08, I just thought I'd let you know about Template:Cite tweet. Per this edit I replaced your tweet screenshot to the template for better accessibility. Although screenshots of tweets can be used on WP, the template is preferred as the profile images can remain copyright and often require removal. Exceptions apply when the tweet is needed for some additional context such as this image or others, such as those that contain a public domain image within the tweet for example. Regards, CNC (talk) 08:28, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

i figured that since the profile picture wasn't the main focus, and very small, I figured it counted as de minimus PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 08:30, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

It could well be as it's also not an image of Elon himself, but I'm not an expert in copyright stuff here. I was only letting you know about the tweet template for future reference for better legibility per mos:access, not much else. CNC (talk) 08:40, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

Alright, thank you. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 08:41, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

And speedied. Fair use is not going to have a chance on this kind of thing since it directly competes with the commercial purpose of the image and it is the kind of thing photographers might bother taking to court.©Geni (talk) 20:02, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Alright. I just added the fair-use image as a placeholder for when a free image is released. Apologies for the inconvenience PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 20:03, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

That is in no way allowed. You are only supposed to upload fair use images if there aren't any won't be any free images available. ^Wiinter_U 20:06, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CMBGAMER 2018. Thank you. wizzito | say hello! 00:03, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

On Wikipedia, my account says I am the same person as CMBGAMER: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PublicDomainFan08

I did that because I didn't want people to think I was "sockpuppeting". CMB is my computer account, PublicDomainFan08 is my mobile account.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello PublicDomainFan08! Your additions to Thomas Crooks have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license—to request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. MCE89 (talk) 22:40, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

I believe I limited quotation enough. If it was much, it should just be edited rather than removed entirely. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 22:41, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

If you are quoting a source, you need to clearly mark it as a quote by putting the text in quotation marks and attributing where you are quoting from. You can see the overlap between your edit and the source here (you will need to log in and then click "iThenticate report"). As you can see, there are sentences that have been taken directly from the source without any indication that they were intended as quotes. MCE89 (talk) 22:48, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

I know I did use some sentences. I'm just saying if it's too much for guidelines, the edit should be edited to be less like it rather than removed. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 22:50, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome to summarise the sources in your own words and add the content back to the page. Wikipedia can't host copyrighted material, which means that edits that violate copyright policy will sometimes be reverted. If you'd like to rewrite and restore your edit then please do. MCE89 (talk) 23:00, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Yeah I can do that. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 23:00, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Handout photo of Audrey Elizabeth Hale.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Handout photo of Audrey Elizabeth Hale.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) 03:16, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

General sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in the Syrian Civil War and ISIL. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. Additionally, the following restriction(s) apply to this topic area: All articles in this topic area are under WP:1RR (a limit of one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period). When in doubt, assume an edit is related and so is a revert. Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Reverts of edits made by anonymous IP editors that are not vandalism are exempt from 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. Editors who otherwise violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

TarnishedPath^talk 08:01, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

February 2026

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nicki Minaj. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Repeatedly inserting a political audio clip that you want to give visible significance to in the infobox of the article is tendentious, a violation of WP:NPOV/undue weight, and a violation of WP:ONUS as you've failed to seek consensus.

List of photographs of Joe Biden moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to List of photographs of Joe Biden. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and is clearly NOT ready for main space. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. TheBritinator (talk) 03:15, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm just asking this out of curiosity, why do they need a source when the pictures say and show what happened? PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 03:26, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

They need reliable independent sources to establish notability. TheBritinator (talk) 03:29, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Alright. Though due to time constraints, I'm gonna need other people's help adding to the page, is the draft public? PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 03:30, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Yes, the draft is public. TheBritinator (talk) 03:33, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

List of photographs of John Quincy Adams moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to List of photographs of John Quincy Adams. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and is clearly NOT ready for main space. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. TheBritinator (talk) 03:17, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, understandably it'll be small. I made it because I believe every US president with surviving photos should have a "List of photographs" page, such as Obama and Clinton. Actually, I think that should be up for discussion. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 03:32, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

A "list of photographs" page is arbitrary at best and most likely fails WP:NLIST, considering that modern presidents have thousands of pictures of them on commons alone. Individual photographs/paintings can very well be notable, but not this. TheBritinator (talk) 03:37, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand. I figured those pages could hold only the most significant photos of the presidents. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 03:39, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Again, unless you have several independent and reliable sources claiming that a photo is "significant", then you can't just determine that yourself, as that would be WP:Original research. TheBritinator (talk) 03:41, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to living or recently deceased subjects of biographical content on Wikipedia articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

— Newslinger talk 07:19, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Please be aware that WP:CT/AP (post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people) is also a contentious topic. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 07:19, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

What page did I edit PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 07:20, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi PublicDomainFan08, the above notice is regarding your edits on the article Nicki Minaj, which Lapadite objected to in the section #February 2026 and in this comment. In Special:Diff/1335350234, you added an audio file to the article that was reverted by Lapadite in Special:Diff/1335616161, but you re-added it to the article in Special:Diff/1335987888, which constitutes edit warring. Please use the article talk page to gain consensus for the inclusion of that audio file, instead.

Your draft article, Draft:List of photographs of John Quincy Adams

Hello, PublicDomainFan08. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "List of photographs of John Quincy Adams".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:48, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tyler James Robinson (August 12)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Robert McClenon, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

This draft does not have sufficient content to warrant a standalone article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Assassination of Charlie Kirk.

• Edit the existing article to include your text and citations into an appropriate section.
• If the article is protected and you cannot edit it, propose your changes on the article's Talk page.

This draft is a draft on a subtopic of an existing article, Assassination of Charlie Kirk. Discussion as to whether a separate article for the subtopic is warranted should be on the talk page of the parent article, Talk:Assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Please discuss the suitability of creating a separate subtopic article on the talk page of the parent article. Please resubmit this draft if there is rough consensus at the parent talk page to create the child article, or with an explanation that the child draft satisfies either general notability on its own or a special notability guide.

On 21 July 2026, I noted that this title had previously been merged to Assassination of Charlie Kirk, so that this is a subtopic. I said that discussion of whether a more detailed article should be accepted should be decided by discussion at TalK: Assassination of Charlie Kirk. I don't see any such discussion at the parent article talk page. I am declining this submission as not adequately discussed after a previous merge.

However, I am willing to accept this draft with the following understanding. A reviewer is normally expected to assess whether there is more than a 50% chance that an article will survive an AFD. I do not have an opinion as to whether this draft will survive an AFD, but I am willing to accept it with the understanding that an AFD is likely, and that the community should be able to decide whether to accept this draft.

If you are ready to have an AFD decide whether this stand-alone article should be kept in Wikipedia, please resubmit this draft and notify me that you have resubmitted it so that an AFD can decide whether a separate article is in order.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Tyler James Robinson to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Replaceable non-free use File:Mugshot of Christa Pike.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mugshot of Christa Pike.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:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. 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 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. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 08:13, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
