[edit] Newton Stewart

Hi. The text of this article is suspiciously similar to Newton Stewart Business Association's home page. The bulk of it was added by you on the 14 September 2005. Can you explain this? --Colin°^Talk 14:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Braveheart

Friend, you messed up my talk page. Also, I do not know what you are talking about. Please go and look at the Braveheart page again. Regards, - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 13:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Steve, I don't know what you mean by your question. Check the Braveheart page again please, you'll probably find someone else made the comments you are referring to. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 18:18, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Big Ben

Please do never ever again "move" pages by cut and paste, as you did to Big Ben. It is quite some work to fix this (we don't cut and paste so the history gives the correct author attribution). Thank you, and happy editing, Kusma (討論) 19:59, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wigtown

Hi - sorry about that - I considered that edit carefully, and felt that it should be reverted, but when it popped up again, I let it stand. Thanks for letting me know, M a rtinp23 15:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lg lyrita.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lg lyrita.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 01:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Are you by any chance the same Stevo who asked about LNotP conductors on the Radio 3 board, or is it just coincidence? David Underdown 15:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Herbert

Nice work on the poems set to music. It would be even better if there were some citations -- an article that mentions them, or some links to one or more (all?) of the music. Lou Sander 18:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Toni Arthur

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Toni Arthur, 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.

[edit] War Requiem

Hi, wouldn't it be best to create another article for the film maybe? It's very crammed down there to place film infobox, film image, cast and all, plus the categories will become too many for the page. From the film article I could send to "Main article" from the plot section to the music theme. So I was thinking to substitute your redirect with the film article, if you have no objection.

[edit] John Reith

Hi. I am interested in your contribution to the John Reith article having contributed material myself in an attempt to clean it up. What I am most interested in is your comment about the faith of John Reith's father, a minister.

I see that you have made a correction based upon an interview with Reith but it is not clear whether your correction refers to the denomination that Reith belonged to or the denomination of Reith's father.

It was my understanding that the previous text (prior to your edit) was correct because it referred to Reith's father and not to Reith himself.

I followed the links on the Reith article to see where they led (since your edit was made) and unfortunately they now lead to more confusion and I don't know what the answer is.

Because I have a personal interest in setting this account straight having contributed material elsewhere based upon the previous information (prior to your edit), I would like to work with you to determine what the correct version is. Fragilethreads 14:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Reith's father (and Reith himself) were members of the United Free Church of Scotland, which amalgamated with the established Church of Scotland in the 1920s. Subsequent confusion has arisen (almost everywhere, it seems) because the Free Church of Scotland (and the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland), considerably more doctrinaire organisations, had virtually the same name. It is this one which is regularly used to depict a certain austerity of outlook (e.g. the controversy generated when Lord Mackay of Clashfern, a Free Presbyterian Church elder, attended a Roman Catholic funeral of a friend, against the advice of his church). Reith's own austerity is regularly ascribed to his being a member of this Free Church (notably by John Freeman, in the example I cite) which is incorrect. Reith could not have been eligible for consideration as High Commissioner had he been a member of the (so-called) 'Wee Free'.

My point was to try to clarify that Reith was a member of the established Church and not any other 'faction'. Though I accept his beliefs were considerably more austere than many in the Kirk. I'd add, though, that he frequently decried his own inability to live up to these standards.--Stevouk 22:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately your single citation creates more confusion than ever because Reith states that his church does not like being called by a certain name, but it does not mean that it was not known by that name originally. My interest is in the belief of Reith's father, the younger Reith. What was Reith's father a minister of? Your conclusion that Reith could not have held a certain post later in life does not address this problem at all because anything is possible. Reith could have changed his membership, modified his views, anything. But I am addressing the starting point of his birth and his father's belief. A talk show is not a good reference at all and Reith's comments are ambiguous. For instance, the Mormons are not really the Mormons but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Sometimes groups adopt the popular name (like Mormons) if they can't shake it off. Asa Briggs is a credible historian and is the most prolific and widely respected authority on the history of the BBC who has a lot to say about Reith. So what I would like to see a solid source with publication date, author and page number, etc. Fragilethreads 15:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:GeorgeVIobverse.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GeorgeVIobverse.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:UK_road_A77.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:UK_road_A77.PNG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MilkyWayLloyd.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MilkyWayLloyd.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Videmus Omnia 20:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Icouldgoonsinging.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Icouldgoonsinging.jpg. 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.

[edit] Lucerne Festival Orchrstra

Thanks for creating this article. I am wonder that this orchestra is actually formed much earlier then 2003, I think is 1940s something but in some reason the orchestra was dismisseed. And Abbado reformed again. Two reasons there, firstly, I looked up it in somewhere in Wikipedia, but I just forgot it. Secondly, I have a CD which is performed by the orchestra in 1949. What's your opinion? (Addaick 13:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Argo1.gif

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Argo1.gif. 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 14:38, 8 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.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Christiebiog.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Christiebiog.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

You got there first! Mind you, I have been meaning to create the page for over a year. Where did you source your information from? Do you know if the programmes still exist?

I can add a reference which will ensure the page is kept: Oliver Postgate did (some/all of) the animated sections, and this is mentioned in his autobiography.

You may also be interested to hear that I have a copy of the SoBI annual, from 1972?, and also two copies of each of two of the schools' workbooks (unfortunately, heavilly scribbled-in, but then I was only little...)

This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chinaman

I'm not sure about the "distinction" between witting and unwitting use of the term Chinaman. I'm not sure how any use could be unwitting; the only sense where that would be applicable would be when someone uses the term "Chinaman" without realizing that some people don't consider it politically correct. But then again, this aspect refers to the sensitivity displayed by some regarding the term, and not the meaning of the term itself. Thanks, Twalls (talk) 13:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Strathclyde.GIF}

Thank you for uploading Image:Strathclyde.GIF. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

[edit] Image:Dchambers.jpg

I have tagged Image:Dchambers.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 09:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Markfoster.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Markfoster.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Gr1st (talk) 14:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
