Untagged Images[edit]

[1] According to this, you currently have 10 images on the English Wikipedia without copyright information. If we do not get them tagged correctly, there is a very real danger of deletion of these images. I do not mind helping you tag them. Do you still have copyright information for them? - CorbinSimpson 11:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:Trijet.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Trijet.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Image Tagging Image:Gasmith.jpg[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Gasmith.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 04:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve South Radworthy[edit]

Hi, I'm Matty.007. Matt r baker, thanks for creating South Radworthy!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Good article, just needs inline citations

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Mat ty.007 07:53, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I missed the citations, so the tag is now removed. Mat ty.007 07:54, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Adam Lawrence[edit]

The article Adam Lawrence has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

DYK for North Radworthy[edit]

On 7 September 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article North Radworthy, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that North Radworthy and South Radworthy were valued at £3? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/North Radworthy. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Coordinates & significant figures[edit]

Hi Matt

I have seen your addition of coordinates to various motorway articles. Looks good, but on a small point of detail, may I suggest that you use 4 significant figures, not 6. The reason is that 6 sig figs represents 0.1111 metres accuracy latitude and an even greater accuracy longitude. I personally think that 4 sig figs. (11.11 metres) is good enough. (If you want to check this, recall that the metre was designed so that the distance from the North Pole to the equator was 10,000 km. Martinvl (talk) 13:35, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

South Radworthy[edit]

I have translated your article into the German WP. And, if you're interested, added some more significant information. Since I used an English language source Google translate will certainly do it for you. --Matthiasb (talk) 08:17, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Lawrence[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Adam Lawrence, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
It appears to be about something made up, and 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. (See section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
