Welcome[edit]

Hello, Danielstirland, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Borkificator (talk) 13:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Britain Bunker[edit]

Your recent additions to Battle of Britain Bunker are very interesting, but to comply with Wikipedia's policies there ought to be some references. - David Biddulph (talk) 13:17, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Plotting Table B.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Plotting Table B.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dokter Zombieman ^brains.../_{the infected} 11:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:ROC Uniform.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:ROC Uniform.jpg. I noticed that 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.

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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 11:55, 22 February 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dokter Zombieman ^brains.../_{the infected} 11:55, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Uniform.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading the photograph of the Royal Observer Corps uniform. Unfortunately, it has replaced an existing photograph relating to the US Navy. Could you upload it again under a different name with the description and return the original image in its place? The Battle of Britain Bunker article is a fascinating read.

Notification of automated file description generation[edit]

Your upload of File:Allied Defence Plot.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Plotting table images[edit]

Hey Danielstirland, thanks for the images!

One question… the close up has "allied plot" in the title. Is this an indication that this plot is an allied group? Or am I reading too much into that?

I'm a bit confused because the markers you photographed are different than ones I have seen in the past. Normally I've see three sets of labels on them, not two. This could be due to any number of reasons, including that the allied markers only used two…

Any ideas?
