[edit] Speedy deletion of Walter Luff
A tag has been placed on Walter Luff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Swinden Quarry railway station
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Swinden Quarry railway station, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}}
to the top of Swinden Quarry railway station.

[edit] Kelbrook railway station
You created the Kelbrook railway station article recently but did not add any references. I've looked for information about this and other stations on the line, and the book I added as a reference for the Earby railway station article lists the stations on the line but does not include Kelbrook as one of them, and I have looked at maps - npemap.org.uk and old-maps.co.uk - but could not find a station near Kelbrook. I have been unable to find anything to confirm of the existence of the station so do you have any ideas of where references could be found? --Snigbrook (talk) 23:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC) A1personage (talk) 17:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- I have two other books that ought to list this station if it existed, but they do not. Please state, on this page, where you discovered the existence of this station. --Dr Greg (talk) 11:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- A1personage, I note you have not answered the above question, despite having made other edits to this page at a later date, so you must have read it. It can't be difficult, you must know the answer. It's quite possible that the books that Snigbrook and I consulted are incomplete, but we can't make a judgement on that unless you tell us what your source is. --Dr Greg (talk) 11:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- I just thought it was a station. I have no proof it exsisted. A1personage (talk) 21:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Does the same explanation apply to Cracoe railway station and Linton railway station? --Dr Greg (talk) 12:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Park and Ride.gif logo.
I came across the image that you have uploaded. Unfortunately, it didn't have any information on the license, so was going to be deleted. However, I have now fixed the image. To get more knowledge of uploading images I'd suggest looking at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, which has everything you need to know!! -- Arriva436shout! 17:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC) A1personage (talk) 17:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wadebridge
I thnk you should be wary of including future services at Disused railway stations (Bodmin to Wadebridge line) as, in my mind, it contravenes Wiki policy - see WP:CRYSTAL. Geof Sheppard (talk) 07:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC) A1personage (talk) 12:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A few comments
Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider creating an account and uploading your media there instead. That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. Adambro (talk) 17:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Subcategories
When an article is in a subcategory, e.g. Category:Buildings and structures in Preston, there's no need for it also to be in the parent category (e.g. in this case Category:Preston) unless there are special reasons for breaking this principle. Otherwise the parent categories just get clogged up with too many entries and there wouldn't be much point in having subcategories. (This refers to your recent edit to Preston bus station.)
I would also echo Adambro's point that it is important to provide an edit summary for every edit you make, as it helps other editors understand what you did and why you did it.
Finally it's important to provide references for material you add, especially when there might be doubt over its accuracy.
Keep up the good work, but please consider the above points to make life easier for your fellow editors! --Dr Greg (talk) 11:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Evans logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Evans logo.gif. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Modern railways.JPG
An image that you uploaded, Image:Modern railways.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. 207.176.159.90 (talk) 02:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Scanning a copyrighted image does not make you the originator of the image. --207.176.159.90 (talk) 02:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- It is a photograph, not a scan, but I agree, I think it is still copyrighted. It does appear to be valid non-free content, so I have added a rationale for it. The tags for non-free content are at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Regarding the image, Image:Preston park and ride.jpg, its licence appears to be non-commercial and I don't think it meets the non-free criteria as a free equivalent could be created. --Snigbrook (talk) 14:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I replied to your post at the Help Desk. User:Geof Sheppard is the person you need to ask, not me, sorry! DuncanHill (talk) 17:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fleet Line.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Fleet Line.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
