Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! — coelacan talk — 16:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] UKTRAINSIM deleted
The article UKTRAINSIM has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] image policy
Please look at the images you've uploaded, Image:Woodhead.jpg Image:Wupper.jpg Image:Blackpool.jpg Image:2161.jpg Image:Dorset2.jpg Image:Scrgrb21.jpg, you're not giving proper source information or copyright and licensing information, and all those images are going to be deleted as a result, unless you properly cite them. You need to give the URL of where you got them, and use a license tag from WP:ICT and following all the instructions at WP:IUP and WP:UPIMAGE. It is very likely that the images you have uploaded cannot be used here, because they are probably copyrighted and do not fall under our WP:FAIRUSE policy. — coelacan talk — 16:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
