[edit] "Slogans used"

Hi Kecske! Making a judgment from the IP range, this user has done this to almost every ITV article. The editing is hamfisted, leading to damage to the rest of the article, as you saw. But I'm pretty sure it's well-intentioned if misguided.

On the WWN talk page, there seems to be a consensus to remove these entries on ITV articles. I fear I'm ultimately responsible, having added such sections to companies that used notable on-air slogans about 18 months ago. This bit of editing has clearly come back to haunt me (this is Wikipedia, where no good deed goes unpunished). I don't think authority announcements are particularly the stuff of an encyclopedia, as they lack context without the back-up of a site like Transdiffusion to make clear what they're about, so we can afford to lose them.

The user is on a dynamic IP address, so it's hard to try to reason with them. Nevertheless, you did right in reverting the entry and the damage and eventually we'll turn our collective might on removing the entries from other articles too.

Cheers! ➨ ЯEDVERS 19:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Watchlists

Hi Kecske!

Yeah, watchlists are not as reliable as they seem. Edits do sometimes not register; and a major edit followed by a string of minor ones is often hard to track. I'm inclined to assume good faith of the editor who added weasel words to the article in question - the ITV articles are generally in a poor state, with people adding anything the like to them. Some, like Westward and ABC, for instance :o) are very very good (if not perfect, Wikipedia being Wikipedia) whilst others are complete TV Ark fan site nightmares of the worst sort which I must get around to rewriting at some point. When an article is in a poor condition - or a group of articles is suffering - it just encourages people to come in and add their tuppenceworth. We can't blame people for doing so, even when what they write is terrible rubbish. But you're doing the right thing in explaining your edits and leaving a trail on the talk page where you explain what's happening for the hard-of-thinking as well as the good-natured-but-wrong. More power to your elbow! Happy editing!   REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ  21:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:B w ident.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:B w ident.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.
