[edit] License tagging for Image:Hyperball1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hyperball1.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. 14:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External link policy

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Reversi do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses Nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -SpuriousQ 18:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steve Parkinson

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Steve Parkinson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hi Sparki, If you can provide links to reviews for Hyperball or Paradox/Timeslip, perhaps from an online database of Acorn / BBC Micro magazines, then this article will pass WP:BIO on the following: Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work.
I'll have a quick look at some point before the Prod runs out, but I thought perhaps you might know of some some already. Marasmusine 22:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Not necessarily true. There needs to be enough information out there about the person and not just their work in order to have a biography, and I have a feeling that is not true in this case. But references would definitely help.
And Sparky, are you the same person as the IP that posted on my talk page about this article? If so, I responded there. Even if not, you might want to read it. -SpuriousQ 22:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
