If you want either copy restored, please either contact Fastily (deleting admin) or go to WP:DRV. Let's not try to upload another copy of the same cover art, shall we? —George Ho (talk) 11:28, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240402112800","author":"George Ho","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-George_Ho-20240402112800-File:Madonna_(the_first_album)_UK_cover.png_tagged_for_speedy_deletion","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks for uploading File:Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics.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.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks!

I saw your comments about not having access to many of the data sources. I strongly suggest you open an account at The Wikipedia Library, where the academic-level sources are available, as are really superb resources like newspaper.com. All these are free for Wikipedians to use, and if you want to put something through FAC, it's vital to use its resources to turn something that's good into something excellent. I hope this helps. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 07:54, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241202075400","author":"SchroCat","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-SchroCat-20241202075400-La_Isla_Bonita_FAC","replies":["c-Chrishm21-20241202160100-SchroCat-20241202075400"]}}-->

Thank you so much for the suggestion @SchroCat:! I do have to wonder - is it necessary to use The Wikipedia Library for an article to be FA approved? I looked into it and some of the book sources (and web sources) are already present on the article.

It's not one of the criteria, but the criteria do say that it needs to be a thorough review of the relevant literature, and if you miss out sources (as someone has identified in your FAC), then they will fail it accordingly. It's always worth having a look at what there is there - the newspaper coverage alone is worth the very minor trouble doing it, but you may find some excellent coverage of other areas too. - SchroCat (talk) 19:53, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241203195300","author":"SchroCat","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-SchroCat-20241203195300-Chrishm21-20241202160100","replies":[]}}-->
