[edit] License tagging for Image:Elevations.pdf

Thanks for uploading Image:Elevations.pdf. 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. 03:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hale School

OK, the reason why they were deleted, is because they are not backed up by reliable, third-party sources. When they are, and they can be proven to be encylopedic, i will allow them to stay. Any further questions should be directed to my talk page.Twenty Years 09:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

You may also wish to look at schoolcruft. Twenty Years 09:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
The information could be updated by 1000 people and still not be verifiable. Basically, information on wikipedia needs to have reliable sources, which generally makes it encyclopedic. You may also wish to read WP:V. Read the relevant policies, and then you will see where i am coming from. Also look at the talk page of the Hale School article for further clarification.

I agree with what TY is saying, also using Hale Website or magazine arent independent sources you need to have a non trivial article from something like The West, Sunday times, or a local newspaper. Gnangarra 12:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
What gnangarra said is entirely correct. Basically when dealing with the Hale School page, you should avoid (where possible) to use publications of Hale School or its affliations (eg. Hale Old Boys, PSA etc). Always aim to use third-party sources: You may wish to look at getting yourself a copy of Tregonning, Kennedy Gordon (1993) Young hearts run free: Hale School 1858-1988 and use that to build the article. I think what should be drawn from this is that wikipedia is an encyclopedia, i generally ask myself this question when dealing with notability of a particular topic/item: "would someone from Norway care about X?" In this case, the answer is no. Twenty Years 13:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining everything guys. You have been very helpful and this will assist me in writing articles on Wikipedia in the future. Batxuh 00:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
