Hello. You know you can just request a user name change? Wikipedia:Changing username. It's probably better for you. The JPStalk to me 18:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

LOL. I didn't think I could do that. Would you be able to delete GMc, and change GarryMc to GMc, or is that too complicated now? GMc 19:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Well I can't becuase I don't have the toys -- but if you list your name on that page a b'crat will be able to change it (or say it can't be done now). The JPStalk to me 10:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I've listed it there for you -- we'll see what Essjay says. The JPStalk to me 10:17, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay, this is not at all uncommon, and nothing we can't handle. Basically, since you've already created the GMc account, I'll have to rename it, then I can rename the old account to this. All I need is to have you log in as GMc and post "Please rename this account to make way for renaming GarryMc". You can post it here and I'll take care of the rest. Essjay (Talk) 11:01, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username change

Thanks guys.

Please rename this account to GMcUK to make way for renaming GarryMc to GMc. Thanks. GMc 11:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

All done. Log out and log back in as GMc to make sure all your session data is reset. Essjay (Talk) 12:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

Please don't just copy and paste material as you did with Nick Rougvie. It is a violation of copyright and strictly forbidden. Thank you. Tyrenius 11:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of programmes on ITV digital channels

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. the wub "?!" 00:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help please

Hello u contributed somethings for my list of programs shown on Five tv. Im new to the site but my page is going to be deleted and I have no idea why or what i can do. Can u help me thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DanDud88 (talk • contribs) 16:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Well I was hopping u can tell me what iv done wrong for my artical to be up for deletion and how I can fix it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by DanDud88 (talk • contribs) 16:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of programmes on ITV digital channels. Both articles are listed for deletion. The JPStalk to me 16:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of episode guide

Regarding removing the episode guide. - You have removed a lot of information from the page and left very little detail. The information was not avaliable on other sites. Would suggest that the episode guide goes on a new page.

[edit] Police, Camera, Action ep guide

[edit] Police, Camera, Action ep guide

Fair enough. But suggest extracting information from the guide ie number of episodes each series, length and number of specials etc. It will flesh out the page and become consistant with other TV show pages.

Sean.

[edit] SMG

Oops, your edit must have gone through between me checking to see had anyone mentioned it and pressing edit. Didn't mean to duplicate content, sorry. --Kiand 13:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

It's OK. It makes more sense having the info nearer the top. GMctalk 15:37, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SMGhq.jpg

Hi Garry. Regarding Image:SMGhq.jpg, could I ask you for more information to validate that you are the copyright holder. What camera was used? Why is this so small? Do you still have the original, larger file? I would like to think that considering your previous blocks and warnings you would not do something as silly as take a photograph from another website and cliam it as your own. The JPStalk to me 14:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

It was taken on my old phone. I have learned from my previous mistakes of taking images from other sites. LOL GMctalk 15:37, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ITVSport titles.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:ITVSport titles.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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 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. Alexj2002 19:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:ITV

You might want to take a look at the template, Mr 86.131.192.170 I think has taken it a bit far, what do you think?   Keithology  Talk!  18:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

That is shocking!!! I don't understand these people. I'll revert it. GMctalk 20:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I can understand the frustration with the template being constantly edited, but technically you have broken WP:3RR. I did place a 3RR warning on the anon user's talk page and by rights following Wikipedia policy I should do the same to you. If you both can come to a compromise on Template talk:ITV, please do so, but edit warring is not the answer. --tgheretford (talk) 19:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, I'm sorry, but it can hardly stay like that. Don't you agree. It's not just me who is annoyed. GMctalk 21:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Yep, I know a few other people were reverting the changes made by 86.131.192.170 and to be honest, the template does seem a bit too long, but edit warring isn't the answer. I can't see any vandalism caused by the edits made 86.131.192.170 (not in the Wikipedia description of vandalism anyway). Everyone should really have made comments on the template talk page. --tgheretford (talk) 20:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have added a {{tv-logo}}, use this every time you upload a TV logo. You just need you to add a link to a source for the image so you can remove the {{nosource}} template, thanks.   Keithology  Talk!  09:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Could you delete that image, as I have uploaded a bigger version: Image:ITVSportlogo.png GMctalk 16:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image in cat

Hello, Garry. There is an image in the Category:STV. Could you fix that, please. Fair use images are to be used in articles only. Thanks. The JPStalk to me 21:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean the SMG logo? That is part of a template. Shall I remove the whole template? GMctalk 23:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
It's up to you how you do it. If removing the template is the only way, then yes. The JPStalk to me 22:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
No bother JPS
GMctalk 23:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
The best way might be to remove the logo from the template? I see it's alos in a couple of other categories. The JPStalk to me 22:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
All removed :D

[edit] MLB on five

Just wondered why you moved this article to MLB on Five (with a capital F), if you can back up your reasons for this fair enough, but if not I think it should be moved back as all the channels logos etc (see the website) use lower case f. Basement12 15:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

They don't use the lowercase f on any ECPs anymore, and it's rumoured that the logos will change when the new channels launch.

[edit] External links

Given your experience with external links, I would have thught that you woul dhav eremoved the itv.com link entirely from the Death of a Princess article, rather tha renaming it. Please remove, as I and others will, similar superlfous links as you come across them. The JPStalk to me 17:35, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves of The Second Coming (TV drama)

I am confused by your multiple page moves of the article which is now at The Second Coming (TV drama), which were done without discussion on the article's talk page, and do not comply with the guidelines at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) which I don't know if you are aware of. The conventions on that page say that a made-for-television film should be listed as "(film)", while a miniseries should be listed as "(TV miniseries)" [US] or "(TV serial)" [UK]. There is no mention of "(TV drama)". As a two-part serial, the page was correctly at The Second Coming (TV serial) before you started the series of multiple moves. Please restore the page to its original name, and if you think you have some particular issue why that is not correct, post it on the Talk page. --MCB 19:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kaye Adams

Hi, I hope this finds you well! Just for my own future reference, I noticed on Kaye Adams (presenter) bio I noticed you changed back my edit from STV to stv. Just for my own future reference, is it always lower case? Thanks for your help! Rgds, - Trident13 13:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Usually, yes. :D --GMc 13:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] RE: External links

What's wrong with having everything look the same, the links are for the Official website of the channel so I don't see the problem?? HeMan5 12:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I spent quite a bit of time going through articles, it makes them look more professional if you state the actual name of the website. GMctalk 16:33, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move of MTV Hits

I would like to ask, what exactly was your rationale for reversing the order of Ireland and UK in the title of MTV hits? Unlike the main MTV UK and Ireland channel, it isn't referred to as UK and Ireland, therefore it should be in alphabetical order unless there is some other reason not to. Could you pleas explain what that reason is? - Рэдхот 13:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:STVpromo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:STVpromo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 23:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of schedule in GMTV

Hi there

I noticed that you added a schedule to the GMTV article. Sadly I had to revert the edit you made for the following reasons:

  • If you have taken a schedule from a website, they are copyrighted and the schedule could be in violation of copyright policy.
  • Under schedule 17 of the Broadcasting Act 1990, it is illegal under UK law to publish a schedule for BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1 (including all regions and GMTV) or Channel 4 without paying a royality to Broadcasting Dataservices (BDS). And I quote:
   
“
 The programme summaries are the subject matter of copyright. The information may only be reproduced pursuant to a licence issued by the copyright owner or pursuant to the statutory licence set out in Schedule 17 of the Broadcasting Act 1990. This ruling affects BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4 terrestrial channels only. Broadcasting Dataservices is the agent of BBC Worldwide, the ITVA companies and Channel 4 in the matter of issuing copyright licences and collecting copyright fees.
   
”
More information on this matter can be found here: Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems#Potential legal issue with UK Radio station schedules within articles.

Apologies for reverting your changes. Please refrain from adding schedules to articles in the future. Thank you. --tgheretford (talk) 19:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

The changes you just made to the article are much better ‎. --tgheretford (talk) 19:13, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for helping, tgheretford.

[edit] Continuous changing of CITV Link

Before changing the link to itv.com/citv for the fourth time, please see the talk page on the guide itself.

itv.com/citv just redirects straight to citv.co.uk, thus citv.co.uk should be used.

Continually re-editing to your version without discussing it on the talk page is appaling manners - DO NOT change it again without a suitable reason. TheIslander 01:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
