Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Walker Electric Truck may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sitka spawning salmon 180906.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Sitka spawning salmon 180906.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Commons images[edit]

Hi Erector, if an image is at Commons, you can use it at Wikipedia as though it were here locally - you don't need to create a local description page for it. If categories need to be added, they should generally be added at the Commons page, not on the Wikipedia page. So for File:Sitka spawning salmon 180906.jpg, you would actually want to go to Commons:File:Sitka spawning salmon 180906.jpg for categories, etc. Though I have deleted the local description page and your contesting of the deletion on the talk page, the image is still accessible and can still be used in articles. I hope that makes sense! --B (talk) 21:13, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
