Thisuser account is abot operated byB (talk). It is used to make repetitiveautomated orsemi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with thebot policy. The bot is approved and currently active – the relevantrequest for approval can be seenhere. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, pleaseblock it.

B-bot is abot operated byUser:B. If you would like to ask about something, please do so atUser talk:B as that page will be monitored more frequently than this bot's talk page.

If the bot is malfunctioning and you wish to stop it, please edit the pageUser:B-bot/STOP to have only the word STOP (and nothing else).

This bot tags orphaned non-free images with {{subst:orfud}} and notifies their uploaders. If you would like to opt out of such notifications, you may add one of these templates to your talk page:

• {{nobots}} - block all bots
• {{bots|deny=B-bot}} - block this bot in particular
• {{bots|optout=orfud}} - opt out of notifications of orphaned fair use images from this bot and any other compliant bot or script

Please note that underWP:NFCC#9, images used under a claim of fair use are NOT permitted outside of article space. If an image is used only in user space, on a template, in a draft, etc, it is still considered "orphaned".

The source code for this bot is atUser:B-bot/source. Any interesting errors / events are atUser:B-bot/Event log.

One of Wikipedia's missions is to promote the growth offree content, that is, content which can be used and adapted without restrictive copyright restrictions.

Though we prefer to use it as rarely as possible, ournon-free content policy permits non-free images to be used under a claim offair use incertain limited circumstances.

Because non-free images are only permitted in articles, if a non-free image is not currently used, it will be deleted. You received this notice because an image you uploaded is non-free and not currently used in an article.

Q: The image is not orphaned - someone vandalized the article and I have reverted it.

A: You may remove the{{di-orphaned fair use}} template from the image and it will not be deleted. This bot will automatically recheck the image the night before it is due to be deleted and automatically remove the template, if you have not already done so. (Even if nobody removes it, admins always check before deleting whether or not the image is actually an orphan.)

Q: Why did you notify me? I didn't upload the image.

A: I am notifying the first contributor in the image's history. If that is not you, pleaselet me know and I will look into it.

Q: I don't want to receive any of these notifications.

A: Please see the template{{bots}} for information on how to opt out. Adding{{bots|deny=all}} or{{nobots}} toyour user talk page will block all bots,{{bots|deny=B-bot}} will block this bot in particular,{{bots|optout=all}} will opt out of all bot-supplied deletion notices, or{{bots|optout=orfud}} will disallow any orphaned fair use notices, but permit other deletion notices. Please note that only bots will obey these requests and so you may still receive notices from users tagging manually.

If you upload an image that you, personally, did not create, or which you have previously published outside of Wikipedia, permission to use that image must be on file in ourOTRS system.

If you received this notice, then either you, or someone on your behalf, tagged the image with the{{OTRS pending}} template. (This tag may have been added automatically based on your choice in the drop down at the time of upload.)

Though there is frequently a backlog, your image was uploaded long enough ago that a message sent should have been received.

Q: I sent a message months ago, you should have it.

A: Unfortunately, things get lost. Your message might have been misidentified as spam. It might be that whoever read it couldn't tell what image you were talking about. You might have sent it to a queue other than permissions-en. As of April 2015, the permissions-en queue automatically sends out a reply to all messages that come in. This reply contains a ticket number. Please post a message toWP:OTRSN giving this ticket number and the name of the image. We can use that to find your message that you submitted. If you did not receive an automatic reply or cannot find it, please re-send your message to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know atWP:OTRSN that you have done so.

Q: Why did you notify me? I didn't upload the image.

A: I am notifying the first contributor in the image's history. If that is not you, pleaselet me know and I will look into it.

Q: I don't want to receive any of these notifications.

A: Please see the template{{bots}} for information on how to opt out. Adding{{bots|deny=all}} or{{nobots}} toyour user talk page will block all bots,{{bots|deny=B-bot}} will block this bot in particular,{{bots|optout=all}} will opt out of all bot-supplied deletion notices, or{{bots|optout=npd}} will disallow any "no permission" notices, but permit other deletion notices. Please note that only bots will obey these requests and so you may still receive notices from users tagging manually.

For version 1.1 of the orphaned fair use task, I plan the following:

• Hold all notifications until the end of the process. Then merge multiple notifications for the same user together rather than spamming their talk page.
• Log any notifications that fail (due to network error, Wikipedia down, etc) to a local file on my computer and retry them on the next run, if the user has not already been notified by someone else.

• Active Wikipedia bots
• All Wikipedia bots
• User sql
• User c sharp
