Orphaned non-free image File:Communist Party of Israel (Maki) symbol 1959 or 1961.png
Thanks for uploading File:Communist Party of Israel (Maki) symbol 1959 or 1961.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. --B-bot (talk) 02:26, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Regarding page move
Hi, hope you're doing well. You have recently moved several pages while trying to shorten subject title. Initials should be separated by blank space. For instance, A.P.J Abdul Kalam is incorrect. It should be titled as A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. Thank you and happy editing. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 14:55, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- In South Indian names, the initials are usually not separated. Often there are no dots between the letters. For the example you mention, 'A. P. J. Abdul Kalam' is largely a Wikipedia neologism, and Encyclopedia Britannica used 'A.P.J. Abdul Kalam'. --Soman (talk) 15:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Anyway, you can request a page move on the article's page before moving a page with which you are not familiar. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 15:14, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
WikiCup 2020 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
- Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
- HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
- Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
