Spectrum Leisure Centre[edit]

A tag has been placed on Spectrum Leisure Centre, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. MacGuy^{(contact me)} 19:50, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Tennison Road[edit]

An editor has nominated Tennison Road, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tennison Road and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. Jayden54Bot 09:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Siemens. I really think I ought to warn you that possibly much of your work on Tennison Road and other articles might end up being deleted. I personally think there's a reasonable chance Tennison Road and other articles could be deleted, the reason being is a lack of apparent notability - see the comment I left on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tennison Road for more information.

The other articles I'm referring to are ones you've created on tram stops. If you have a look at this, you'll see a tram stop in Nottingham had its article deleted. If you read through, you'll see that I myself suggested that artcles on Croydon's Tramlink stops should similarly be deleted.

I really don't want to put you off Wikipedia because it's obvious you're contributing in good faith. I wonder if you should maybe consider obtaining your own web space, installing the necessary Wiki software and creating your own content where you can have full control over it - just a suggestion. However, don't let me put you off from contributing useful content to Wikipedia.

Cheers, A bit iffy 13:55, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Pictures[edit]

Hi Siemens2,

Uploading pictures to Wikipedia is quite easy. Just click on the "Upload file" link in the toolbox, or go to Special:Upload. Use the form there to upload allowed file formats. However, if the file being uploaded is public domain, has all rights released, is licensed under a free license, or has similar legal status, you may wish to upload it to Wikimedia Commons. Various licensing modes can be found at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. The benefit of uploading to Commons is that it allows all Wikimedia projects to use the file, not just Wikipedia. Once you've uploaded a file of the appropriate description, you can use it in a page as described at Help:Images and other uploaded files. Good luck!

Also, in general, you should place personal messages to users on their talk page. Some users, however, use their userpage like a talk page. Basically, the manner in which they prefer to receive messages should be evident from looking at their userpage, and talk page if necessary. When leaving a message on either namespace, you should sign using four tildes (~~~~).

If you ever need help with Wikipedia, feel free to contact me. MacGuy^{(contact me)} 17:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:Forest hill pools.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Forest hill pools.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Yeah… sorry for not telling you. It is imperative that you tag your images appropriately if you want them to stay on Wikipedia. I know it's a pain, but it's for the best. Good luck!

License tagging for Image:075 LA6.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:075 LA6.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:

Image:075_DMS2167_Jun77_pdtn.jpg listed for deletion[edit]

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:075_DMS2167_Jun77_pdtn.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Cbrown1023 talk 14:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:124_SLD239-tn.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:124_SLD239-tn.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. -- SteinbDJ · talk · contributions 22:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

London Bus and Tram Pictures[edit]

Hi.

The owner of the Buses at Work site may be revoking his permission, so don't use pictures from his site for the time being.

By the way, don't use pictures from other websites without their permission, such as Image:T01-2532-1.jpg, which is clearly from Steven Parascandolo's Unofficial Croydon Tramlink site.

Thanks. --sonicKAI 11:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Lewisham-Logo.gif)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Lewisham-Logo.gif. 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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

Thanks for uploading Image:ELBG.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.

Please go to the image 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 '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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 19:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:ELBG.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:ELBG.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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 19:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 19:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:1312.gif[edit]

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:1312.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 00:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
