[edit] License tagging for Image:Chrisjacket2.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Chrisjacket2.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:

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. 00:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edward Lay

A tag has been placed on Edward Lay, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Squeezeweasel 18:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:EDITORS Logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:EDITORS Logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Bones (Editors song)

That's not the way to get a page deleted. There are various mechanisms, see WP:SD, WP:PROD or WP:AFD Stephenb (Talk) 21:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Motivation

Hello there. I came across this edit (about "Scotland the nation") and wondered what your motivation was. I've raised this exact point at Talk:Scotland and would be interested to know if we shared the same view on this and could help persuade the community towards a new consensus. -- Jza84 · (talk) 01:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland

Unless you can proove, that the Irish Republic covers the entire island? Republic of Ireland must be shown. PS: If the 'edit warring' doesn't stop (from both sides)? I'm gonna request 'full page protection'. GoodDay (talk) 21:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

PS: Would you please cut out the what are you on type comments, in you edit summaries? Seeing as I'm apolitical on this, such comments are boring. GoodDay (talk) 21:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:EDITORS Logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:EDITORS Logo.png. 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) 12:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moving articles

I have proposed that the articles “foreign relations of the Republic of Ireland; civil service of the Republic of Ireland and public service of the Republic of Ireland" be renamed in each case by deleting the words “the Republic of”. As you’ve previously discussed this issue, I thought you might wish to know that this is being discussed here. Very few have participated in the discussion so far. I'm not sure how widely the discussion forum is used. Redking7 (talk) 10:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AN END HAS A START.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AN END HAS A START.jpg. 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) 19:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Irish universities

Please note cut and paste moves are not allowed. Please discuss any changes first, also see WP:MOVE. Thanks Djegan (talk) 13:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wales

I noticed your edits on the Wales page. I have no idea why they were removed. You did everything right. I will reinstate them for you.Wikipéire (talk) 20:27, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry you are both wrong. There is no UK Constitution as such, it is an emergent property of the various laws. There are acts of Parliament which establish equal status for the Welsh and English language. If you have an opinion on the map then engage in the discussion on the talk page. --Snowded (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Wikipéire for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. --Jza84 |  Talk  13:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
