Balta island

I don't doubt what you say about the postcard description, but my basis for thinking that it was mislabelled was that Haswell-Smith's book says that there are no census records for the island and he only mentions how busy the sound was during the herring boom, and that the OS maps shown no clusters of buildings as appear on many uninhabited islands which were abandoned in the 20th Century. On the other hand, if they were just wooden shacks, as described in the Baltasound article [1], then I suppose it might make sense.--JBellis 16:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a minute

Hi panellist does seems to be the slightly more common spelling in the UK, but internationally there are 12,600,000 hits for Panelists but only 130,000 hits for Panellists on Google. Arniep 23:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tony. There are some instractions for proposing a rename here Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Howto. If the category gets renamed then usually a "bot" will automatically change the category name in all the articles. Cheers Arniep 00:11, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Peel Sessions cat

Hey, it's good to see someone else who's into Peel - you're popping up all over my watchlist! I'd thought about creating that category before, but 1) couldn't really be bothered, and 2) couldn't work out if it should be "Peel Sessions" or "Peel sessions", since it's done somewhat inconsistently [2] [3]. So thanks for being bold where I dithered. Did you think about the capital thing beforehand? It can easily be changed later on, anyway, so it's no big deal. Flower party■ 01:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Well, I think it's a useful cat. It's certainly much easier than what I thought about doing back in June :D I'll look out for articles to add it to. Flower party■ 02:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles vs. categories

Hi, you've added Boards of Canada to a new category. As the main article of its own category it ought to belong only to it. You can add the category instead and the latter will become a subcategory (as is for Pink Floyd for example). Thus the reader will be able to navigate all resources related to the linked article (it should have a lot in order to get own category). -- Goldie (tell me) 11:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tony - I'm new so .... But just wanted to say how much better Bay of Biscay looks after your work - definitely better than I left it so learning all the time. Cheers Nigel 12:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Basically the same thing inspired me! Hope yours was a good trip/break, ours was. Regards Nigel 10:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Red_Rum_Statue_in_Southport.JPG
[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Red_Rum_Statue_in_Southport.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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. ShakespeareFan00 11:04, 16 June 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:On the shore.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:On the shore.jpg. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Achtung Bono.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Achtung Bono.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done

On 2 September, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Springfield Park (London), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I had to add a reffed fact to the header. Its not essential, but it does speed it through DYK if its on-line. Hope it was OK, but I didnt want you to lose the hook. Cheers Victuallers (talk) 17:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Red Rum Statue in Southport.JPG

Thank you for uploading Image:Red Rum Statue in Southport.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Reggie Perrin 1st series.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Reggie Perrin 1st series.jpg. 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.

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "19thcenturylit". The reason given for 19thcenturylit's block is: "Spam / advertising-only account".

Blocking administrator: Orangemike (talk • blocks)

Accept reason: It looks like you just happen to have picked up a dynamic IP address previously used by User:19thcenturylit, who was blocked back in February. I've lifted the block on the underlying IP addresses used by that account as they're likely to have all been reassigned by now, so hopefully you should be able to edit again. I'll watch this page, so let me know if you have any further problems. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:52, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Shetland Amenity Trust

The article Shetland Amenity Trust has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced since creation in 2006. No indication passes WP:GNG. Loksmythe (talk) 03:39, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page 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.
