License tagging for Image:Clamchowder.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Clamchowder.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

Image Tagging Image:Tombofthekings.jpg[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Tombofthekings.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. 82.83.109.179 17:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Tombofthekings.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Tombofthekings.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.109.179 17:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Clamchowder.JPG[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:Clamchowder.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you created this image yourself, please look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#For image creators, select one of those tags, and add it to the image. To do that, simply go to Image:Clamchowder.JPG, click "edit this page", and add the appropriate tag. Be sure to remove the current tag indicating a lack of licensing!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at User talk:Angr or at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. —An gr 16:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Millennium City, UK[edit]

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Millennium City, UK, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Space: 1999 actors list[edit]

I haven't been able to find the list yet, possibly due to server lag since the article's creation. However, I have asked Otto4711 (talk · contribs), who listed the category to be emptied and deleted, if he knows where the list is. The discussion which led to the deletion had a consensus that the categories could be deleted once lists were created, so I assume that the list exists somewhere. If Otto doesn't respond, or doesn't know, I'll ask some other places. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:07, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bad news — Otto says that since the main Space: 1999 article contains a list of regular cast members, there was no list created. I personally think that the deletion of these categories is a bad move, but it seems I'm in a minority on this one. I suppose you'll have to rely on IMDb (which, incidentally, tells me that Peter Duncan was indeed in one episode of Space: 1999). I personally don't see why Wikipedia couldn't have told you that. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'"It's been established' by who when? certianly not by a large number of wikipedia users. The delete first ask questions later policy is downright vandalism. Major guest stars, ones having their own wikipedia entry certainly deserve to be kept and avoids any mention of insignificant players. Space 1999 had Peter Cushing, Brian Blessed and Joan Collins as guest stars, all of whome have major wikipedia entries.Mariegriffiths 00:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that when Otto said "it's been established" he was referring to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 January 25#Actors by series. I didn't agree with the majority in that decision, but I don't oppose the closing either. One question which I believe remains open, however, is whether it's acceptable to have a list which includes guest actors as well as regular cast. "Category:Doctor Who actors" was deleted around the same time as "Category:Space 1999 actors", but a list was created. It's still very raw, but I hope that in time it will contain information about every actor who's appeared in a speaking role in Doctor Who. (The sentiment at CfD was for the list to be for main actors only, but I don't see why significant guest stars can't be included as well.) A similar list could be created for Space: 1999. It's not an ideal solution, but it is a workable one, I hope. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On that same basis you could throw away a dinner I had cooked as I can always cook another. Why on start off with the long list and trim out all the chaff? Mariegriffiths 23:11, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that "why on" was a typo for "why not". Actually, I think that creating a full list of Space: 1999 actors would have been a better solution, but unfortunately Otto's deletion was within the rules of Wikipedia. It's unfortunate, but there's not really much anyone can do, aside from making a list. Yes, it is like asking you to cook the dinner again, which is unfortunate: but now the dinner is in the garbage, and can't really be retrieved. The category deletion was reviewed, and the editors who took part in the review for the most part supported it.

I know that this is cold comfort, and I feel like Mr. Prosser telling Arthur Dent that the plans for the bypass have been on display at the local planning office. It sucks, but the house has already been knocked down, and the "vandals, homewreckers and half-crazed Visigoths" were acting within their rights. The decisions about deletions like these (and the policies which support the decisions) are made by those who have time and energy to devote to tedious bureaucratic arguments. It's an unfortunate flaw in Wikipedia's system. But I understand the reasons why the system developed the way it did, and I don't know of a better one. Do you? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well yes I do. A deletion notice should be up for a longer time and in this case the voting was no where near a majority. Douglas Adams does spring to mind and sadly his creation H2G2 has suffered from an invasion of American minded moderators who have taken control. How do people become moderators/admins? Can decisons be appealled? I believe there is a lot of money to be made from TV metadata. It would not surprise me that people have been paid to remove the data so that it can be deemed out of the public domain and for those organisations to sell it instead. They could be paying some of the Wikipedia editors too. I see no public interest ion what they are doing. I run a rival to Wikipedia so I hope people become dispirited and come to my site instead. Stuff them.Mariegriffiths 19:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry this has disheartened you so much, Marie. There is an appeal process for deletions (Wikipedia:Deletion review), and the deletion of this category has already been through it here. Incidentally, the deletion process isn't supposed to be a vote, but a conversation to reach a consensus about whether an article (category, etc.) should be kept or deleted. Wikipedia is not a democracy, and insofar as the deletion process looks like a vote, it's misleading. See Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#Discussion and Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion#Deletion, moving and featuring. The deletion process usually takes about a week. The "actors by series" category discussion actually lasted from January 25 to February 15, and there was a notice on the category's page for the duration of that discussion.

Wikipedia users become administrators through Requests for adminship. Usually a user will be nominated by another Wikipedian, but it is possible to nominate yourself. After a nomination, interested editors can comment on whether they think that a user would be a good admin or not, and at the end of the process, a bureaucrat will determine whether there's a consensus in favor of making the user an admin.

I think it unlikely that this particular deletion was spurred by financial motives or any other ulterior concerns. Some Wikipedia members have recently expressed concerns about overcategorization; their feeling is that if an article has too many categories, the category system becomes overwhelming and not useful. I think their concerns are overblown, but I do believe they are acting in good faith. There are plenty of other free sources for television metadata, so I'm not sure how an attempt to sell that data would work. The loss of this information from Wikipedia was unfortunate, but I sincerely doubt that there were any ulterior motives involved.

That said, if you have another site which is maintaining this sort of data, I wish you luck, and I'm sorry that your Wikipedia experience has been less than satisfactory. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lotus Picture in Ethanol Fuel[edit]

I responded on the ethanol fuel talk page as well, but if this is the addition you are talking about, it was removed because you did not provide a citation (number of articles in google is not a citation either) and the sentence was just randomly added to a section. If you have a verifiable citation for its use as a test vehicle and would like to write a suitable paragraph about it, feel free to add it back! If you like, post a citation and I can write a paragraph or two with you. --Chuck Sirloin 20:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:WatersideInnBray.JPG[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:WatersideInnBray.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Proposed deletion of Narked[edit]

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

A definition already covered in Wiktionary. Only non-definition thing this has to say is that someone once didn't understand the word; doesn't sound a piece of information worth nothing.

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Shared interests[edit]

Hi Marie. I see you are a Wulfrunian too. I'm only honorary, as I have lived here a mere 30 years. I soon got fed up of hearing the place treated as a somewhere to hand jokes about industrial decline and poverty, lack of culture and aggression - not least because there are many places much worse, although Wolverhampton actually has a long and interesting history behind it. The medieval history has not been well-served in recent times and the rivers seem to be a mystery even to those who live next to them. I have been asked what I'm photographing by people whose gardens border the Tame, for example. Keep on working on the area. There's lots to do. Sjwells53 (talk) 15:22, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephen Lyttelton[edit]

Hello Mariegriffiths,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Stephen Lyttelton for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The single reference only confirms that the museum exists. All the rest of the article is still unsourced. Where did all this information come from?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:History On Wheels Museum and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:History On Wheels Museum, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
