[edit] Welcome! (reply to message on my talk page)

First, I'll post the standard welcome message...

Welcome!

Hello, Alexgray, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! 

Ok - about the Two Lochs Radio article: I have fixed the page for you - check the page to see if you think it is ok. Some of the links posted above will help you to use the Wikipedia software properly; it can be a bit confusing to start, especially with things like templates and categories, but if you decide to continue editing this site you'll soon get to know how it works.

One more thing: I've noticed that the content of the Two Lochs Radio article is pretty-much a copy of the text on the station's website. Unfortunately, Wikipedia can only accept copyrighted work from elsewhere if the original author agrees to it being on Wikipedia and any other site which agrees to the copyright licence. I'm guessing that since the designer of the website is a person called Andrew Gray, that you are in some way related? If this is the case, and you do have links with the station, then you'll need to do the following:

  1. Contact the copyright owner of the text (the radio station) and ask their permission to use the text on Wikipedia. (some sample letters are available at Wikipedia:Boilerplate request for permission if you need to write to them).
  2. If they agree, get them to send an e-mail to permissions at wikimedia.org, stating that they agree to the text at http://www.2lr.co.uk/ being licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
  3. Once that's done, insert the following text at Talk:Two Lochs Radio:
{{{confirmation|url=http://www.2lr.co.uk/}}}

(copy and paste the line above)

If you can't get their permission, then unfortunately you'll have to rewrite the article in your own words. I'll leave the text on the page for now, but if there's no change within a week or two, I'll have to remove it (but someone else may see it before and remove it).

If you want any more help, or have any other questions, then please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. --Marknew 14:25, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PROD Warning

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Community owned, 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:Importance). 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:Community owned. 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.
