Speedy deletion of Template:RSAF Organisation Chart

A tag has been placed on Template:RSAF Organisation Chart, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

superseded by image:RSAF Org Chart.png

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:Template:RSAF Organisation Chart|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Rifleman 82 15:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

7 Core Values

Hi Limkopi

I've removed the 7 core values because it's not really all that encyclopedic. --Rifleman 82 09:03, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SAF Crest BW.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:SAF Crest BW.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Republic of singapore0.PageIcon.gif.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Republic of singapore0.PageIcon.gif.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Republic of singapore.PageIcon.gif.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Republic of singapore.PageIcon.gif.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Republic of singapore.PageIcon.gif.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

• Lim, the image I had uploaded is clearer and was taken directly from the official MINDEF site, so I hope you don't mind letting the image be removed. Thanks. --Dave1185 (talk) 21:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:F-15T.jpg)

Possibly unfree File:RSAF Roundel 1990-present Low Visibility.svg

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:RSAF Roundel 1990-present Low Visibility.svg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed.

July 2013

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Singapore Army, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Werieth (talk) 14:54, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Do you want blocked? Werieth (talk) 15:02, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

You really must want blocked, Please read the reason I removed the file, it lacks a rationale for that use. The next time you re-insert without complying with WP:NFCC I will report you and ask for a block. Werieth (talk) 15:13, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Rationale has been provided on the page, and your constant reversions constitute vandalism. I have sought protection for the page accordingly. I am also requesting a block for your threatening and disrespectful language and harassment.(talk) 15:15, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

See my talk page, and see WP:NFCC#10 the file is non-compliant. Werieth (talk) 15:23, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Non-free use rationale is stated in the image description, and there is nothing in the guideline which suggests non-compliance. Source, copyright and article are all clearly provided. (talk) 15:33, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Each use of a non-free file requires a separate rationale for each use (See WP:NFCC#10 and WP:NFURG) the file does not have a rationale for Singapore Army. Werieth (talk) 15:33, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

The crest of the Singapore Army and that of the Singapore Armed Forces are functionally identical- the latter is in fact derived from the former, which was the original user since 1957.(talk) 15:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

It still requires a separate rationale for each usage. Something that it currently lacks, and which means it cannot be used on Singapore Army until there is a rationale. Werieth (talk) 15:41, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Rationale has been added.(talk) 15:43, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Singapore Army. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎ 15:32, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Green Standard Army, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chinese (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
