Hello, Ojwilliams8, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Scott Seaman-Digby, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Scott Seaman-Digby

edit
 

The article Scott Seaman-Digby has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.


If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Scott Seaman-Digby has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://twitter.com/ssd4handh. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Scott Seaman-Digby do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it.

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Scott Seaman-Digby. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

Thank you for uploading File:No1 Traveller Gatwick.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 15:46, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

What's going on with this photo

edit

Did you take this photo yourself? Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 16:35, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

The photo was taken from No.1 Traveller's flickr stream, and I have permission to use it. I have since replaced it with File:No1 Traveller - Gatwick Lounge.jpg and made the old file a criteria for speedy deletion. Ojwilliams8 (talk) 16:44, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well if that's the case what's with the fair use rational? Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 21:17, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to No.1 Traveller has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation.

License tagging for File:Phil Cameron.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Phil Cameron.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Phil Cameron.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Phil Cameron.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. E. Fokker (talk) 18:44, 26 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Deleted article

edit

I have deleted Flying W Ranch Flint Hills, which you wrote. The article's contents were almost exclusively duplicated from No.1 Traveller, which you also wrote; however, it was modified to change the company name, including false titles for references. This is not acceptable editing practice on Wikipedia. Please do not repeat it; doing so may result in your losing editing privileges on the project. Risker (talk) 06:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pointless

edit

Please read this. Then to object to the deletion when you had applied the tag makes it even more ridiculous. If File:Lawrence-Taylor.jpg is your image, then please upload it to the Commons at a decent size instead of a pathetic thumbnail. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:54, 19 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

The rather eclectic set of subjects you have chosen to write about lead me to suspect that you are being paid to create Wikipedia articles. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:38, 19 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
