[edit] Bangers Society

The article Bangers Society has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. 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. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. -- Merope 18:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prejudice problems

I want to thank you for restoring information on Henry Marvin. One editor is apparently on a "Mission" to discredit anything or anyone to do with the article American Mutoscope and Biograph Company an article I have had nothing but problems with. You did such a nice job on the Marvin article, I also would like to make you aware of another article Elias Koopman that this same editor put a copyright violation on. You may be able to do write an article on Koopman as you did with Marvin. I would, but am busy on speaking engagements and need to settle this other article first. Thanks, --Roger the red 08:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


Londonbats, you do need to re-write the version you included on Henry Marvin since it is from another website, so as to not have any conflicting copyright problems as in the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company article which is another problem I will address soon.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Birchhill.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Birchhill.jpg. 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:

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Munns clear.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Munns clear.jpg. I noticed that 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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 13:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 13:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birch Hill Cemetery

A Proposed Deletion template has been added to the article Birch Hill Cemetery, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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 endorse 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 the page. Karanacs 20:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William Davies (highwayman)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of William Davies (highwayman), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.berkshirehistory.com/bios/wdavies.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 05:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
