This is your only warning; if you violate Misplaced Pages's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Misplaced Pages page again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Replaceable fair use File:LeslieJonesComedian.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:LeslieJonesComedian.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair 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 fair 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 Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion 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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 11:25, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Leslie Jones (actor)

Still having trouble understanding this free thing. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/about shows free images of all the current SNL cast members so would http://www.nbc.com/sites/nbcunbc/files/files/styles/nbc_person_teaser/public/images/2014/10/31/leslie_jones_1050x1050.jpg qualify as a free image since it is displayed there and this isn't a pay-site? Ranze (talk) 11:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately copyright rules are rather confusing. The image you point out is copyrighted. In fact any image created by anyone is copyrighted. Images are only freely licensed if

• The image is sufficiently old (pre 1923 in the United states mostly but the rules are very complicated)
• If it was created by the US government, or other entity that similar rules apply to.
• The original creator agrees to release it under a free licence.

In this case the image was created by NBC (from an original like and they retain the copyright, and unless they explicitly state that they are releasing the image under a free license we can't use it. What we need is someone to take a photo of her and release it under a license that works here (see the freely licensed tag). - Peripitus (Talk) 12:15, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

We've had many problems with people, purposely or not, using Misplaced Pages as a forum to spread unflattering, inaccurate, or libelous information about living individuals, a matter we take very seriously. I'm sure it is not your intent to do this, however, but editors choosing to edit sensitive and controversial articles like this one must take care when dealing with such matters, especially on an article that has been a trouble spot for this very thing for many months. You have edited articles related to Gamergate as early as September, when you were alerted about the sanctions on this article, so you have had time to familiarize yourself with these issues. Accordingly, I am imposing for a period of 12 months the standard Gamergate topic ban, which prohibits you from editing "All edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed." This ban will be lifted when you can demonstrate an ability to deal with sensitive issues regarding living individuals in other areas of the encyclopedia. Gamaliel (talk) 16:15, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cultural communism

The article Cultural communism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This isn't disambiguating between things that are on Misplaced Pages. It's one link that includes "cultural" in it in front of a form of communism (Marxism), which leads to a redirect, and three items that consist of links to other forms of communism with the word "cultural" inserted in front of them without explanation.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:22, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I've requested that a discretionary sanction against you be enforced here. PeterTheFourth (talk) 06:36, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
