Notability of Chris Hutchings

A tag has been placed on Chris Hutchings, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Xnuala (talk) 17:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mohamed Diamé

Hi, if you're wondering why I've removed info about Wigan from Mohamed Diamé, it's because European teams have a nasty habit of announcing transfers that never actually materialise. Let's wait until the official Wigan site (or anothe reliable site, such as the BBC) announce it as a 100% definite transfer. Cheers, Giant Snowman 18:08, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Robin hood 19 400x300.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Robin hood 19 400x300.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 20:55, 12 April 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 20:55, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Billinge

Hi Tommy, Thanks for your recent message. I understand your point regarding Billinge (being from near the area myself) however there are important distinctions to be made regarding the hospital and the "bottom" of Billinge. It's true that most local people do not tend to make much of differentiation between the Billinge itself and Billinge Higher End, however there is, as of today, a difference. The difference is made principally by political boundaries however in 2013 they are unfortunately the only mechanism by which we can make the distinction clear on Wikipedia.

As you know the bottom (Chapel End) of Billinge is within the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens and Higher End within the Met Borough of Wigan. The issue of postcode and telephone code in Billinge do not seem to help with this either, however for the purposes of Wiki and the accuracy of the articles we do need to make the difference clear. If a person was born in Billinge Hospital but did not live in the bottom of Billinge then they have no direct connection to the village itself.

I look forward to working with you on the Wigan articles in the future. Happy editing !

Reece James (footballer, born 1999)

Please stop changing the article to say he is a defensive midfielder. Yes he has played as a midfielder, but his official profile clearly says that he is a defender. Rooney played as a goalkeeper once, so what? Giant Snowman 10:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, the sources say he is a defender, as that is his primary position. Please do not edit war or accuse me of vandalism. I have started a discussion on the article talk page, please post there and let's see what others say as well, and try and reach agreement. Giant Snowman 17:20, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
