Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you! :D

Welcome to Wikipedia, Tk420! I am NAHID and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Problems with upload of File:GEDC0308.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:GEDC0308.JPG. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Home Alone 4 UK DVD.JPG

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Home Alone 4 UK DVD.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Feck, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Expletive (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:WoolworthsstoreTelfordUK2010.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:WoolworthsstoreTelfordUK2010.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Blurred, discolored. Not of sufficient quality to move to Commons.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

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. Kevjonesin (talk) 22:21, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Monty&-39;s Ups and Downs book cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Monty&-39;s Ups and Downs book cover.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Replaceable fair use File:Busted band photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Busted band photo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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. -- TLSuda (talk) 23:02, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Moby Love

I've moved the article back to its original title. Per ship prefix, MV = merchant vessel. Also written outside Wikipedia as M/V. MF could mean "motor ferry", but this prefix is not widely used.

There is a technical issue with the use of a slash in article titles. Doing so makes the page a sub-page of the M article, this particularly affects talk pages. Per WP:NC-S, we don't use the slash.

Thank you for you edits to improve the article. Mjroots (talk) 05:42, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

important point

I've noticed the plot summaries you've been adding to articles about books. On the one hand, thank you for trying. On the other hand, you're overdoing it. You're adding way way way way way too much information. You do not need to do a scene-by-scene breakdown of the actions of every character at all times. You do not need to list everything that happened in the story. Imagine that someone is telling you about the book: at what point would you get bored with listening? Imagine that you are telling this to someone out loud: at what point would you get bored with talking?

Maybe you want to tell me that there are lots and lots of extremely long long long plot synopses on Wikipedia. And that's true. But there shouldn't be. They can be trimmed down whenever we find them (which I've done, to two of your recent entries - sorry, they're just way too long).

You don't need to retell the story. The story's already been told, by the author. You need to summarize the story. Be concise, be brief. Consider what is really important. You might not even need to give the ending of the story. DS (talk) 16:50, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Until Proven Guilty

The article Until Proven Guilty has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable: can't find any critical/third-party material discussing this book. Per WP:BKCRIT, the work must be the "subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself". The author's website does not count towards notability on either WP:BKCRIT or WP:GNG.

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. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Until Proven Guilty

Hello, Tk420,

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

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.

Notability

I suggest you start adding reliable sources to the articles you've created on Nigel Hinton and his books. It's likely that they'll be taken to AfD without a better demonstration of notability. Reliable sources would include newspapers, magazines, reliably published books, and web sites with an editorial board and history of fact-checking. That means no blogs, social media sites, etc. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:28, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Shropshire Council election, 2013

Thought I might be able to seek your assistance with this one - please could you see the article's recent history (ie the bit since your edits, which were fine) and then Talk:Shropshire Council election, 2013. Thanks. Argovian (talk) 11:51, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to the article and to its talk page, but I suggest there's no point adding anything new/trying to revert the deletionist edits by "Sport and politics" (for now). If you look at my talk page and elsewhere you'll see we're up against someone who is not going to back down and will throw up the usual "blocking" arguments so many disruptive editors do on Wikipedia. Your partial revert to the article was undone by her and she has carried on with her "clean up", which of course is nothing more than reducing the article to its bare bones, making it useless for most readers. Argovian (talk) 16:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Getting Free for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Getting Free is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Getting Free until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. GoldenRing (talk) 11:47, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

User respect IP2

Hi,

Did you create this template? People have been telling me that the way it's worded means "they" actually refers to the user, and not copyright! In other words, the template is actually saying that the user can be a major pain! Although I disagree, I can see where they're coming from. Adam9007 (talk) 03:36, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tk420, please allow me to get in touch because you have stated sympathy with environmental causes on your user page. I would like to invite you to check out the Environmental impact project page on Meta, where I am trying to create some momentum to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement.

BOLD editing on British passport

Just a note - you're editing a highly visible article on Wikipedia. If an editor disagrees with you, do not reinstate the change you have made and instead discuss. See my comment on the talk page of the article. st170e 20:34, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

An update from the Sustainability Initiative

Thank you for supporting the Sustainability Initiative!

Hi, Tk420! Thank you again for supporting the Sustainability Initiative, which aims at reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. Over the past two years, more than 200 Wikipedians from all over the world have come together to push the Wikimedia movement towards greater sustainability.

What's new?

We are writing you this message because there is great news: The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has finally passed a resolution stating that the Foundation is committed to seeking ways to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. Also, we have created a cool logo and found a nice name for the project which you can see on the right :-)

What's next?

Currently, we are working with Wikimedia Foundation staff to make sustainability a key priority for the selection of a new location for Wikimedia servers in Singapore. Also, we have presented the Wikimedia Foundation with a green energy roadmap to have all Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy by 2019.

Please help!

Let's keep this project moving forward – and there are several ways in which you can help:

• Ask other Wikipedians to sign the project page as well – this way we can show the Wikimedia Foundation that this is an issue that the community really cares about.
• Talk to Wikimedians you know about the importance of reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement.
• Improve and translate the project page on Meta.

If you have any questions, you can contact us on on Meta. Again, thank you very much for your support! --Aubrey and Gnom (talk) 09:35, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Casper: Friends Around the World moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Casper: Friends Around the World, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. New articles generally need at least two (but preferably more) references from reliable sources that are independent of the subject that discuss the subject with significant coverage (trivial mentions do not contribute to notability).^{(See Rule 42)} Information that can't be referenced to reliable sources should be removed from the draft because verifiability is necessary for information added to Wikipedia.
I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of Draft: before the article title) where you can work on the article with minimal disruption from other users while you improve it.
When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready to be published, you can move it back to the article space yourself. However, I recommend that instead of moving it yourself that you follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template that I have added to the page. This submits the article to be reviewed by experienced editors that specialize in helping new editors write their first articles. Edaham (talk) 07:26, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

File:Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy first UK paperback edition.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Casper Soundtrack cover.jpg

The file File:Casper Soundtrack cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Casper (film)#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:51, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Aberdyfi-Aberdovey approach sign.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Aberdyfi-Aberdovey approach sign.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 22:12, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:List of Angry Kid episodes

Hello, Tk420. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of Angry Kid episodes".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
