[edit] Cricket images
Hello HTUK,
Welcome to Wikipedia!
Thank you for finding some photos of cricketers. But I'm afraid I doubt that we're allowed to use them. You tagged them as "promotional photos", but they're not promotional photos unless you got them from an official press pack. Images that you just found on a person's website are not promotional photos. You can read about this at Template:Promophoto and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.
I've marked them as "no licence" for the moment. This means that they will be deleted in a week, unless we can get permission to use them, or you can justify their use some other way. But most photos found on the web are copyright and it's simply illegal to use them.
I'm really sorry to do this to your first edits. The articles certainly look much better with photos, but as a very high profile website, we have to be especially careful about copyright law.
I hope this won't put you off and you'll still stick around and contribute to Wikipedia.

[edit] London Fire Brigade
I think the new sections are a good idea. My only word of caution, is that it would be better to try to find info that doesn't just come from the LFB's website, otherwise it's just replicating what's on there. I'd also avoid a trivia section as per the Metropolitan Police Service although there is some good stuff on here, and I've been involved in re-writing it to remove some of the 'plod speak'. I've also written a lot on the FDNY and that article has expanded considerably but is still very much written by ffs for ffs. I want to start a section on the LFB on call handling/communication, but I'm also working on an article called FiReControl and need to check how that relates to the LFB. Thanks for your comments.

- More: I've rejigged your new sections so they make better technical sense - no need for me to bang on about it, but you're right I do have considerable expertise in this area, so I hope you won't mind. It's simple and self explanatory.. have a look. Regards Escaper7 10:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC) ps: Let's keep future discussions on the article's talk page - I'm hoping more editors will chip in with comments.
[edit] Edit Conflict Met Police
Hi I'm trying to make a significant edit to the above - but we're both in the page. Can you save your changes and stop for a few miniutes pls? I need to add something that I've been working on for the past hour, then I'm done for now. Tks --Escaper7 12:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Empty pages
Please stop creating pages that just contain category tags. Write at least one sentence and mark it as a stub otherwise they'll just be deleted as empty under WP:CSD. Thanks. enochlau (talk) 17:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lebedev
I was looking through the Mikhail Lebedev page and it seems to be vanity and non-notable to me. First of all, there is hardly any information about him on Google. Then, none of the publications seem to be news-worthy and notable. Finally, the scientist does not have many 1st author publications and seems to be non-important in his field. If you agree with me, can you please help me nominate Mikhail Lebedev for deletion? --GoOdCoNtEnT 08:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project Underground
Hello HTUK! Thanks for showing interest in the project. If you want, you can join the project and we can work on the project together. Share ideas, including adding the other systems into the project. What do you think? Lenny 14:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for joining the project! Lenny 07:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Update: Just noticed all the work you have put in to the project, Well Done!!! Lenny 07:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- First things first. The tag should go on all of LU and DLR articles. By means of adding |Underground=yes to the trains wikiproject tag or by adding our own tag. The second template has been made - membership. I know a lot about the rolling stock so that shouldn't be a problem. Lenny 14:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization
Wikipedia has very specific categorization rules. Namely, an article cannot be simultaneously filed in a category and that category's own parent categories. For example, a British radio comedy series is not simultaneously filed in Category:BBC radio comedy, Category:British radio comedy, Category:BBC radio programmes, Category:BBC radio and Category:Radio comedy, as all four of the later categories are already parents of Category:BBC radio comedy. You only file an article in the most specific available category within any given tree (i.e. Category:BBC radio comedy. This is not a negotiable rule. Bearcat 06:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry if it came across as aggressive; that wasn't my intention. I just find the categorization rules can be very difficult to explain effectively without unwittingly coming across kind of blunt. Bearcat 08:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photos of tube stations
I am always pleased to welcome a fellow editor interested in tube stations. However, I note that in the articles Wembley Park tube station and and Kingsbury tube station you deleted some of my photos without explanation. Obviously, you are fully entitled to dismiss any photo I have posted as worthless clutter and delete it, but it would have been nice to discuss these deletions on the talk pages first, to see if others agreed, or at least write an edit summary explaining your reasons.
On Willesden Green tube station, I reversed your edit, which had ruined the vertical alignment of the photos. I hope that you agree that it was not an improvement.
I look forward to seeing useful and productive edits from you on many tube station articles; if you can add some photos, so much the better.--Londoneye 11:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Janet and John
Well done! A worthy addition to stand alongside Dick and Jane and Peter and Jane. -- ALoan (Talk) 18:45, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Abandoned WP:LUL
There hasn't been much activity going on in WikiProject Underground, please add ACT next to your name in the list if you are still active in the project. Lenny 15:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Here is your very own project
I hope you enjoy your new project, fixing it up, getting more members. I am giving you a project on trial to see if you can be better than me at it. It is not going anywhere with me and I chose you to have it as you were the first to join and have put more effort into my project. Enjoy while it lasts, do what you want. You also have the portal to complete the package. Me? I am going on a week long wikibreak to get rid of this pressure. See you soon! Unisouth 08:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC) PS: You can still reply as long as you do so today.
Great! To get more people you need to get people to know the project exists. The only way of doing so is to place the talkpage template on all LU, LO and DLR article talk pages and place the portal template on all LU articles. Hope you do well, bye! Unisouth 10:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Graham Walker
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Graham Walker, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Graham Walker. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Image:IanBlair.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:IanBlair.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please Talk
Please discuss any problems you are having with me or any other member of WikiProject Underground. Jsp has now left all of wikipedia due to someone removing all of his work. I dont want this to happen again. Unisouth 06:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
