Thanks for uploading Image:Williamparkercrest.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

[edit] Greetings

By the way, it is also possible to leave messages on user pages: got it, yes. Sandpiper 23:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] greetings

Quite often someone greets a new user and gives encouraging and helpful advice, at least some hints as to what to do here for a happy editing experience. As far as I can see, no one has said hello to you, so please consider yourself belatedly helloed. The official advice to newcomers is Be Bold. Of course, do it too much and lots of people may start moaning that you have upset their carefully thought out work. But you should never believe they are right, just because they got here first. What it really means, is don't be too afraid to find articles and start working on them. Everyone starts somewhere. This place runs on anarchy, with little groups of people organising things in one corner, while other little groups are organising the same thing completely differently somewhere else....and then they suddenly meet up. There are pages and pages of advice on how to do things if you have the patience to read them, or if you get stuck, but having a go and not worrying too much about how everything works is definitely the way to start, and really what the introductory rule means.

You might wish to write something on your user page. Just a couple of words about yourself will turn it into a blue linked page which then turns up your respect quotient just a notch when people see your name in the edit history. Your user pages belong to you, and you are entitled to add or remove what you want from them. Sandpiper 20:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] William Parker

And now what I came to say. Do you know whether the school still runs the annual carol service and commemoration service, and if so where? I don't think this is in the article, and certainly should be tacked on somewhere in the region of the history section.

This article is a bit heavy on minor details of how the school is run. I am tempted to bring the history bit nearer to the top, to make it a rather more formal article, but I have not quite decided to be bold about this. Also, it is a bit full of lists (which make the page very long with a lot of white space on screen), so I was musing whether the list of subjects taught where ought to be scrunched up into a paragraph or something. But again, each list probably looks better as such, it's just that there are rather a lot. (re greetings, somewhere there is a style article discussing the undesireability of long lists.(but not to panic!)) Sandpiper 20:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Williamparkercrest.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Williamparkercrest.gif. 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. BetacommandBot 15:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
