Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Bradford do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Charles (talk) 09:18, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Edit to Bradford

Hello, I have removed your addition about being a powerhouse. I am dubious whether the claim is true (unfortunately I see Leeds being much more dynamic than Bradford), but even if it is, any evaluative claim like this ranks as original research, and is therefore forbidden, unless it is directly backed up by a reference to a reliable source. --ColinFine (talk) 11:47, 4 June 2013 (UTC) Hi There, Bradford has a much larger manufacturing base than Leeds, Leeds obviously has a large financial base. I'll see if i can reference the Bradford manufacturing claim.Bradford4life (talk) 07:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC) Hi Colin, I've reworded the insert to make sense of the reference i've used. Leeds City Region Bradford4life (talk) 10:31, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

No, I'm sorry, but I've removed it again. Calling something a "powerhouse" is peacock language, and is not acceptable unless the term is used in a reliable and independent source: the MIPIM document you have cited is reliable, no doubt, but it is obviously not independent, and so should be used only to support uncontroversial factual data. (I'll be delighted to see work really start on the Westfield site this year, but I'm not holding my breath). --ColinFine (talk) 11:21, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the problem is, obviously with an economy of 8.3 billion approx Bradford is a powerhouse of the LCR as it is of the Yorkshire and Humberside region. Obviously a manufacturing powerhouse just as Leeds if i remember correctly is described on it's wiki page as a financial powerhouse. I'm adding it again. Yes i'm hopeful that Westfield will get started this year but holding your breath regarding this wish would be inadvisable.Bradford4life (talk) 12:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

OK, I've just noticed that "power house" is indeed in the brochure you cited - I hadn't found it because I searched for "powerhouse". I still feel that the word is evaluative and promotional, not neutral (which is why I cited WP:PEACOCK and mentioned the non-independence of the source), and so does not belong in the article; but following procedure I'm discussing it rather than reverting you again. --ColinFine (talk) 13:18, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Colin, I didn't realise you hadn't noticed the description in the Leeds City Region piece, sorry about that, i should have specified the paragraph, i'd have directed you to it if i'd have known. Maybe get a few other wiki people who haven't got a view to have a look at it as i don't see a problem with the description. I'll leave it with you as i'm not connected with the site other than making edits. I wonder if you could help me regarding a picture or montage being placed in the Bradford box at the top right of the page, i noticed when looking at the Leeds page today that they have a fantastic montage of pictures in the same box at the top right of the Leeds page, was thinking that something similar would look great on the Bradford page, in fact there was a Bradford montage, but it disappeared for some reason. Although i know how to put pictures on the actual Bradford page, the placing of one in the box seems different, if you can help please let me know.Bradford4life (talk) 18:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry B4l but I do not think the phrase "power house" is encyclopedic language. It does not have any precise meaning in relation to the size of the economy and is peacock/promotional and sourced only from a partisan publication. We should stick to facts and statistics. I propose that it be removed.--Charles (talk) 21:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Charles, can we have one or two other wiki editors giving an opinion, would also like to put a montage of Bradford pictures into the Bradford description box, any ideas as the wiki instructions seem unclear to me, the one inserted earlier, not by me... seems to have gone, leaving a sad looking map of West Yorkshire.Bradford4life (talk) 20:38, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

The montage seems to have been deleted because its creator User:Jonfarman neglected to add a copyright status. I do not know how to make them. I have replaced the city hall photo for now.--Charles (talk) 21:28, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Charles, thanks for the town hall picture, the montage i talked about disappeared but seemed to be using all photos actually used presently by wiki, it seemed very odd as the copyright status must have been correctly applied originally for wiki to be using them now. Is that something you could look at? Regarding the word 'powerhouse'... is it possible to get a couple more wiki editors views? If that isn't possible, no worries.Bradford4life (talk) 09:40, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, B4l. You now have two editors who think "powerhouse" inappropriate. If you want further comment, you can go to WP:RFC. I'm afraid I have no expertise with images. --ColinFine (talk) 21:18, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the montage, that will have been created in the editor's own software and uploaded. Even if it is composed from free images the resulting new image will be the intellectual property of its creator and will need to be released into the public domain. You could try contacting that editor and asking if it can be uploaded again.--Charles (talk) 21:25, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Charles, i'll do that regarding the montage upload editor. I think i'm happy with the consensus regarding power house, thanks to both of you for your imput.Bradford4life (talk) 14:26, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Rodney Friend

Put simply if a page is not in the mainspace (i.e. it is in the userspace) then you cannot link to it: it is passing userpages off as articles despite them not being held to any editorial standards - please do not restore the links again. Besides, that userpage was blatantly promotional anyway, as such I have deleted it--Jac16888 ^Talk 10:04, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Rodney Friend

Hi, I'm Kudpung. Bradford4life, thanks for creating Rodney Friend!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article needs independent 3rd party sources. Please see WP:RS and WP:BIO for more information on how to complete this article.

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. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:58, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung, i'll get on it over the weekend, thanks for your interest.Bradford4life (talk) 13:04, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

October 2013

Hello, I'm Besieged. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Bradford, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. besieged^talk 18:16, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bradford. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. besieged^talk 18:22, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Bradford4life. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Bradford, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. besieged^talk 18:25, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop assuming ownership of articles as you did at Bradford. Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive and could lead to edit wars and personal attacks, and is a violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. besieged^talk 18:27, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Bradford4life reported by User:Besieged (Result: ). Thank you. besieged^talk 18:32, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I took the photo on the 23 October this year, I got permission from the Synagogue to do the photo shoot. Let me know what you need and I'll supply itBradford4life (talk) 14:50, 29 December 2013 (UTC).

If you look at the page File:Interior of Bradford Reform Synagogue.jpg there is a notice explaining that your email to OTRS was not sufficient. It says " However, the message was not sufficient to confirm permission for this page/file. This may, among other reasons, be because there was no explicit release under a free license, or the email address that the permission came from is not associated with the location where the content was originally published." I am not in the OTRS group, so I have not seen the mail and can't tell you what was unsatisfactory about it; but if you talked about permission from the Synagogue, that is irrelevant. It requires that you believably assert that you are the holder of the copyright (as you probably are, if you took the photo) and that you released it under an appropriate licence. If it is still not clear, I suggest you ask at the OTRS noticeboard. Incidentally, if you are releasing the picture under an appropriate licence, it would be better on Wikimedia commons, so that all Wikimedia projects can use it: if you put it on English Wikipedia, then only English Wikipedia can use it. --ColinFine (talk) 14:39, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I never sent an e-mail regarding this picture, that e-mail was regarding a previous picture upload by me but taken by someone else. When I realised I couldn't get the information needed from the photographer in question i arranged a shoot at the Bradford Reform Synagogue, the picture in question being one of numerous that I took. This does seem to be a muddle.14:23, 15 January 2014 (UTC)Bradford4life (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wilhelm Norbert Pollack

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 Wilhelm Norbert Pollack 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Speedy deletion of Louisa Frances Pesel

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Louisa Frances Pesel has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://trc-leiden.nl/trc-needles/people-and-functions/authors-scholars-and-activists/pesel-louisa-1870-1947. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 05:39, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

All this having been said, Louisa Frances Pesel does appear to be notable, and you are very much encouraged to write a copyright-compliant version of the article. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 05:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Bradford, you may be blocked from editing. It has been made clear that opinion is irrelevant. We go by the reliable sources which state that the building is a landmark. Buildings can be a landmark even for negative characteristics. An article is not all about the positive features of a town, and a building that is notable for its article is going to be relevant for the parent town article.
