Speedy deletion nomination of File:2019 Beauregard tornado.png

A tag has been placed on File:2019 Beauregard tornado.png 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:1974 Cincinnati F5 tornado.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:1974 Cincinnati F5 tornado.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) 03:00, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

User talk page archiving

Hello, EF5,

Your User talk page says, This user does not mind criticism so here is some. You seem to archive messages on your User talk page after only 24 hours! This is much too fast. I think you should leave at least a week's worth of messages if not a month's worth up on your User talk page. This would allow editors who left you a message to not have to go into your talk page archives to see what your response was. It is also not advised to add new messages to archived pages so by archiving a discussion you are cutting off possible new comments to it. It also would allow you more time to respond to messages as I can't imagine that you edit 7 days a week. I realize that you might like a blank talk page but I think that the benefit to you and other editors outweighs the cost of having a full User talk page. This is just a suggestion but I hope you consider it. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done, thanks for the feedback. I used to have a very slow archiving system, so I guess I went a bit overboard. :) E_F⁵ 13:25, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

		In 2024 you were one of the top AfC editors, thank you! --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC) Your GA nomination of 1925 Tri-State tornado The article 1925 Tri-State tornado you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:1925 Tri-State tornado and Talk:1925 Tri-State tornado/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

I noticed you put a dashcam video of a fire tornado on your user page under PD-Automated - I really don't think that the license is valid. The description of PD-Automated states "pre-positioned" as in mounted CCTV, but this clearly wasn't. I'll also note that if the PD-Automated license there is valid, then free media for 2024 Elkhorn-Blair tornado and numerous others becomes available as a significant amount of storm chasers use dashcams - but they probably wouldn't be too happy having their footage distributed for free. Just letting you know. The full legal hammer hasn't swung one way or the other for PD-Automated but I can say with some certainty that dashcam likely wouldn't be on the "free" side.
