Welcome
[edit]Hello, Chelmsford261, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! NW (Talk) 02:50, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
File copyright problem with File:KingEdwardVII_Grand_Master_UGL.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:KingEdwardVII_Grand_Master_UGL.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. feydey (talk) 08:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:King_Edward_VII_Mason.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:King_Edward_VII_Mason.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 08:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Chelmsford261! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 311 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Star Tauasi - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 00:51, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
The article Star Tauasi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- See reasons tagged since March 2010. Further searches (September 2010) have not revealed any WP:RS
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. Kudpung (talk) 18:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
He was a freemason
[edit]While your addition to
- Donald Bradman (→Family life)
- Edward Dunlop (→Honours and awards)
- Edward Hallstrom
of "He was a freemason" was referenced, which is appreciated, it wasn't well referenced. Per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Dunlop&curid=490388&diff=473967442&oldid=473942670 I used {{cite book}} to specify where you got your information Edward Dunlop, but the addition of a template parameter of page= or pages= (as appropriate) would be appreciated so that someone need only look up the appropriate page in the book. If you'd be so kind as to add the template and additional data to Edward Hallstrom and Donald Bradman, along with tranforming the "He was a freemason" phrase into a smoother flowing piece of text that fits into some kind of context, that would be great.
