replies: text: Greetings. Pretty difficult to justify that since the policy requires that the file significantly increase the understanding of the article topic - a single emblem in a list is unlikely to.

thread_title:  Usage of FU files in lists 

message: :Template:Di-missing article links and :Template:Di-missing some article links seem somewhat redundant. Are both of these necessary or can they be combined in some way. The "missing some article links" template seems to be intended to work with bots, but I don't think bots use it anymore. Most of the :WP:NFCCE enforcement going on these days is done by 's . I have used both of these templates before in the past, but perhaps they're actually no longer needed because of JJMC89 bot. Anyway, if there's any value to keeping one or both, perhaps their documentation can be improved to better explain how they work and how they're to be used. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  NFCC related missing article link templates 

message: Is there any guidance in :WP:NFC or maybe in :WP:IUP regarding updating non-free logos that is similar to :c:COM:OVERWRITE? If not, then maybe there should be. My understanding has always been that it's generally acceptable to use the "Upload a new version of this file" option on file pages when the changes are minor (coloring, re-sizing, straightening, etc), but it's preferred to upload major revisions or completely different versions as a new file. I'm asking about this because of the recent updating of :File:Guinea-Bissau FF (logo).png. No information was provided regarding the source of the new version by the uploader, but it does look like the change was made based on the team's Facebook page. However, the "new" version looks essentially the same as :File:Guinea-Bissau FA.png currently being used in :Football Federation of Guinea-Bissau#Crest. It's not clear which logo might be the most recent and the older updated version is quite different from its replacement. Since the older orphaned non-free versions will end up deleted per F5 after five days either way, perhaps nothing is lost; however, it seems to me in cases where there is quite a bit of difference between two versions of the same logo, it would be better for them to be uploaded as separate files so that they can be more easily discussed and compared if necessary. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: We really should update the "Meeting the previous publication criterion" section to say that explicit description of the source of the image is required as part of the rational (note: this is not saying that you have to provide a link, but you should be more clear than "I found it on the web".), and that when uploading a new nfc into the same file page as an existing one, that the source and other applicable parts of the rational should be updated.

replies: text: Those are important points you raise, and they're somewhat related to overwriting, but not exclusively thereto; there are other issues (e.g. things other than minor changes), however, involved with overwriting that go beyond the source for the file, and I'm not aware of any discussion related to them . -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updating non-free logos 

message: Relative newb here, but I want to upload the Logo of the Tennessee State Parks.  I have written the agency and have received a reply indicating that it is acceptable to load to wikipedia if I "use the trademark tag" (their words).  Given the multiple ways to load and cite an image, I am at a bit of a loss to do this without getting myself or anyone else in trouble.  Any help would be appreciated -- explain it to me like I am 10.

Hi XXX,
 
Thank you for reaching out about uploading the Tennessee State Parks logo to Wikipedia. You are free to upload the Tennessee State Parks logo if you provide the Trademark tag outlined in this article on the image file page:
 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
