Image tagging for File:Justinchamilton.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Justinchamilton.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:05, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Justinchamilton.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Justinchamilton.jpg. 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 on 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:54, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Justinchamilton.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Justinchamilton.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

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. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:58, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Hamilton

I see what you mean so I moved the article back to where you had it - it is now at Justin C. Hamilton (basketball). Hope that helps! --Cerebellum (talk) 18:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also added links to the new article at Justin Hamilton and Justin Hamilton (basketball). --Cerebellum (talk) 18:56, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note, I moved both Justin Hamilton pages to fit existing basketball convention: Justin Hamilton (basketball, born 1980) and Justin Hamilton (basketball, born 1990). This is a pretty well established format - so far as I know your Justin Hamilton never actually emphasized his middle initial. Thanks Rikster2 (talk) 21:06, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Iknowball - when putting together a club list for basketball, each club gets its own line so it is clear and easy to read - even if the person played with 2 different teams during the same season. I am going to change the formatting back, and just wanted to let you know why. It is just too hard to read when more than one team sits on the same line. Rikster2 (talk) 00:16, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rikster2---thank you so much for your help. You are right, it does look better and easier to read the way you did it.

Disambiguation link notification for November 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Justin Hamilton (basketball, born 1980), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Booker (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 11:05, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for notifiying me about "Booker" I fixed it and its links to his highschool. Thanks Iknowball 20:15, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
