[edit] License tagging for Image:Leinstercricketclub.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Leinstercricketclub.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 23:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page THE SOUTHWEST SEAM-PICKERS. Your test worked, and has been or will soon be removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Please see WP:BIO and WP:ORG .

Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages such as THE SOUTHWEST SEAM-PICKERS. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Again, this club does not appear to meet the standards of WP:ORG. Please do not keep recreating the identical article. NawlinWiki 13:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I've given you references (above) for the standards used in determining what articles to keep. If you read them, you'll see that the determining factor is not whether a subject is "boring", but whether the subject is notable and whether its notability can be backed by verifiable sources. If your cricket club plays on a professional level, has been covered in the news, etc., then it is notable. If it's an amateur group of friends who just enjoy playing together and traveling to France, then it's not. The article, as you created and recreated it, gives no indication that your club is notable. NawlinWiki 14:10, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I mean that you, as the article author, are responsible for providing a source showing that the club is notable. Google is not a source -- it's a search engine that might help you find sources. NawlinWiki 14:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
