Image without license[edit]
Unspecified source/license for File:Territory Alliance logo.png[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Territory Alliance logo.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 02:00, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:Territory Alliance logo.png[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Territory Alliance logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 08:11, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
Australian politics templates[edit]
Hi MerrilyPutrid, when you add a party to the templates {{Australian politics/party colours}} and {{Australian politics/name}}, can you please also add the party to the list at {{Australian politics/name/doc}} - that way it is obvious to other editors that they are listed and the proper abbreviation. Thanks --Find bruce (talk) 10:17, 23 January 2020 (UTC) Fixed it, thanks for your help! --MerrilyPutrid (talk) 21:09, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Territory Alliance logo.png[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Territory Alliance logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair 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. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 00:03, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
New NZ parties[edit]
Thanks for updating List of political parties in New Zealand.
If you're thinking of adding the Public Party, I've got a draft in User:IdiotSavant/sandbox. --IdiotSavant (talk) 00:12, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for that- I'll add them in now. --MerrilyPutrid (talk) 00:16, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of New Zealand Public Party[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on New Zealand Public Party requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New Zealand Public Party. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ~ Amkgp 💬 05:41, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
