User talk:Saltmarsh

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Saltmarsh! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic '^Acid 14:38, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Happy to leave things as they are.--Runcorn 09:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of similar discussions. The thing to do is initiate one on WP:VPP, or on a separate page with a reference to it on WP:VPP. Happy to help you draft something.--Runcorn 16:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please activate your e-mail; it will make discussions much easier.--Runcorn 19:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:263 Squadron RAF crest.png

Hello, Saltmarsh. An automated process has found and removed a fair use image used in your userspace.

The image was replaced with Image:Example.jpg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image to replace it with. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 00:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Astms.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Astms.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --23:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is ridiculous, it has sat happily in the entry for three years, why query it now? Anyway, this is a defunct logo for an organisation that ceased trading when Nelson was still a midshipman and has no members, no officials, no staff, no offices or anyone at all who could possibly complain about its use here...even poor old Clive Jenkins is dead 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 01:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Observer Corps

I have reorganised the ROC entry with a few more sub headings to make it read easier. I have also added a couple of photographs and greatly expanded the Cold War and Post Cold War sections up to stand down. I was Personnel Services Officer (PSO) at HQROC during the stand down. Have a glance over the changes and see how it sits, I am always open to suggestions for changes.

PS. I wrote the update for Derek Woods "Attack Warning Red" that covered the period from 1975 - 1991. He asked me for rough notes, which I provided, then he ran out of time so it was printed exactly as I had written it in the notes (Doh) 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 16:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of FRSL

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article FRSL, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Jaysweet (talk) 21:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:ROCposts.gif

Thanks for uploading File:ROCposts.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:17, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:ROCposts.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:ROCposts.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Henri Gonay

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 Henri Gonay 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 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Moohan (talk) 15:17, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pennington (surname), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Pennington (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:45, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Peter Tabori

Hello, Saltmarsh,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Peter Tabori should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Tabori .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

"Danni Dyer" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Danni Dyer. Since you had some involvement with the Danni Dyer redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:44, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cormell Price moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Cormell Price. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cormell Price (June 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Cormell Price and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
