[edit] New articles

Please don't create a new article as a "placeholder" before adding content. Take your time and wait until you have enough info to write at least a stub. Happy editing! Alex (t) 23:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Reading Rugby logo.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Reading Rugby logo.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:07, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creation of new pages

Hi Joewiki,

I'm a newpage patroller. This is with regards to a number of new pages you have created quite recently. I understand that you have created them in good faith. But unless you have substantial information to incluse, it is better to avoid creating pages with a few words. If you have such little trivia on their date of birth and other information about the players you could instead create a table and tabulate them on the main page, London Irish. As of now , the pages you've created are marked for deletion. Sorry abt tht.

Cheers for ur effort. - Chez (Discuss / Email) • 10:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Degas sculpture

Thank you for contributing an article. However, for legal reasons, we cannot accept text that has been copied from pre-existing external websites. You may use them as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences, if you follow what I'm saying. Feel free to re-write the article in your own words. DS 13:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What vandalism is not

Please read more about what vandalism is not before making serious accusations. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 19:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

If this is about the Reading Fans article there have been persistant deletions which together probably do constitute vandalism. I accept the latest one was probably just an error and I will be more careful next time. JoeWiki 08:43, 01 November 2006 (UTC)

Your comments on the Stephen Hunt edit page are pathetic. You don't own the page and you have no justification for removing my edits. Just because Reading Fans like you want to believe Hunt didn't deliberately knee Petr Cech's head in it doesn't make it true. 'Incident' is a better usage. I see from the above comment that I'm not the only one who has a problem with your manipulation of Wikipedia. The Special One 03:00, 05 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:The Madejski Stadium.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:The Madejski Stadium.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 freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

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. --ccwaters 13:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. Explanation added to the image discussion page. Thank you. --JoeWiki 18:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Čech breaks Hulse's ankle in horrific injury[1]

(title modified by JoeWiki)
Why does a paragraph about Rob Hulse breaking his ankle belong on the Petr Čech page? SteveO 22:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

It was an accident but Petr Čech broke it. Čech raced out to smother his effort and in the collision the Blades top-scorer suffered an horrific injury when his ankle appeared to snap beneath him [2]. (JoeWiki 22:30, 17 March 2007 (UTC))
I did delete it with a reason, the reason being that, imo, it is non-notable. Wikipedia is not a news service. SteveO 22:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Well if you cannot distinguish between someone clattering into a goalkeeper with his knee, leaving him with a fractured skull, and someone falling awkwardly over a trailing leg,[3] then that's up to you. I disagree that it is notable in Cech's career. The incident has received minimal coverage in the media (Match of the Day devoted more time to Paul Robinson's goal), not even Neil Warnock accused Cech of wrongdoing. If it was deliberate, or Cech's responsibility was very ambiguous (as Hunt's was), or it received extensive coverage in the media, or Cech received a red card, then it would be notable. But that's not the case. I would also urge you to be cautious when accusing others of vandalism. SteveO 12:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
