[edit] License tagging for Image:British moment.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:British moment.gif. 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. 19:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location Maps

On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb 2007 20:28 (UTC)

[edit] Use of flages in infoboxes

I've noticed that you removed the Scottish flag from the infobox of Tony Blair and replaced it with a Union Flag. However, it's not the general practice to show the flag of the nation a person is from, but the state or country. For example, the flag icon on the Bill Clinton page is the flag of Arkansas, not the Stars and Stripes and the flag on the John Major page is the English flag not the Union Flag. Thank you. --Philip Stevens 06:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UK

There seems to be be some disagreement on Talk:United Kingdom and the article itself. I'm glad to see you're both using the talk page to discuss this but please keep in mind that this article is the super-article for the many UK related articles. The sections in contention should simply be summaries of the main articles for them. So if something isn't in the main article then please add / discuss it their first and only if it is very important of relevant to the UK as a whole add to this article too, once it's on the sub-article.

[edit] Great pics!

Hi there, I've just been admiring your lovely pics of Pembroke. Can I persuade you to upload your work to Commons, the central Wikimedia library? It's the same procedure as uploading to English-language Wikipedia but the pics can be used by all Wikimedia projects. You can also categorise them and add more info about when and where they were taken. NB Commons can't take anything which has copyright/Fair Use issues, but own work is fine.

I've taken the liberty of shifting a few of your pics over already (eg see Commons:Category:Pembroke College, Cambridge), as the Creative Commons licence allows this. I hope you'll choose to put up lots more! The guidelines there are pretty good, but if you need a hand just shout. Cheers, JackyR | Talk 19:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Great Power. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. — --24.180.3.127 (talk) 29 May 2008 (UTC)
