License tagging for Image:Riddlesdown station.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Riddlesdown station.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Speedy deletion nomination of Donald Burrows (musicologist)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Donald Burrows (musicologist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. role^player 12:44, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Donald Burrows (musicologist)[edit]

The article Donald Burrows (musicologist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Biography of a professor at Open University that does not even attempt to explain his notability. All professors are not inherently notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. role^player 21:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

cheerio, LG, just checking in. i improved your stub, however, in the future, more than one line, is necessary for articles to stay around. a little google search would have found what i did. wp:prof applies. next time i might not be around. Accotink2 talk 15:01, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Twopence[edit]

Hi, Lone; re this edit - it depends upon the timeframe. Whilst there wasn't a 2d coin in the immediate pre-decimal period, there has been one before. The so-called "cartwheel" penny had a twopence counterpart (see History of the British penny (1714–1901), paragraph beginning "As can be seen from the minting dates given above"). These 2d coins weigh exactly 2 ounces (56.699 g), and are approximately 41 mm diameter by 5 mm thick. 722,160 were minted, all bearing the 1797 date. The general-circulation 3d coin arrived in 1834. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, revert if you wish. I still feel that the statement is a bit out of place in the context of a general article about the pre-decimal penny, and as you say, the twopence didn't exist for the whole history of the penny. Isn't it better if readers go to History of the British penny (1714–1901) for this further detail? Lonegroover (talk) 08:21, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See Two pence (British pre-decimal coin). Since I don't think there's enough for a whole article, I've made that a redirect to a new subsection in the article for the contemporaneous penny, which had much in common. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:02, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Justice[edit]

It seems surprising that, other than self-published social media posts, there has been nothing else about his passing, either in local newspapers, or funeral announcements, or on sites dedicated on 1950s or 1960s music. As I'm sure you realise, we can't publish anything here before reliable information has been published elsewhere. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:33, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Still nothing in the public domain, even though his funeral has now taken place and I've been in contact with the local press (and the music press) to advise them of the situation. Even if the local Hash Harriers (of which he was a member) could put something on their website, we could use it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:08, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
