License tagging for Image:Ieuan Wyn Jones.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ieuan Wyn Jones.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:

MSPs

Hi there- good work on the MSP templates- they are excellent and complement the party navigation ones I created! Thunderwing 20:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah the colours look- they certainly brighten up the templates. Thunderwing 14:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chiltern Hundreds

Thanks for the link. I had been looking everwhere for one. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stephen, I have removed the succession boxes which you had added to articles on James Molyneaux and others as Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. Please see Talk:Tony Blair#Chiltern_Hundreds_succession_box for an explanation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brown Cabinet

Thank you; I appreciate it. Now the great challenge, should we decide to embark on it, will be to to create cabinet templates for all PMs, going back, I suppose, to Robert Walpole.

By the way, what do you think of Template:Great Offices of State? My own view is the number of entries (four, invariably) is too small to render it particularly useful. Biruitorul 00:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Are you sure, that Spouse of the Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom is one of Honorary titles? --Worobiew (talk) 20:12, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Edit to John Denham's succession box

Hey,

I've reverted your edit to John Denham's article that removed the standard form for succession boxes with a less helpful note that the office had been "abolished" (which isn't true; Crown Ministers are in general non-statutory, so can't be abolished, only lapse or be merged on Royal Prerogative grounds). Hope this isn't an issue. Also, it helps to use the edit summary box to describe what you're doing so that others don't have to manually check.

Thanks!

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.
