User talk:Bingo99

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * Try our tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * Keep the Five Pillars of Wikipedia in mind, and remember to write from a neutral point of view.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126;, or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask a question at the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome, and good luck!

Sources for Matthew Graham
Hello, good work on Matthew Graham, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Matthew Graham? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! BRIAN 0918  14:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Love and Monsters
Bingo, you really need to let us know, at least in the edit summary, where the info comes from. I don't read the OG forums much these days, and I had to troll through them to determine if the information was even reliable. This will solve a lot of potential problems when people who are not au fait with the latest news look in on your edits and wonder whether you're just being a rumor-monger or a crank. (It does happen - we've had a spate of people insisting on the "Planet 14" hoax title, for example, even after drwho-online stated that it was mistaken.) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 04:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

...sounds like a great title, but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere. Where did you hear it? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Kenny Everett / LGBT people
Hi Bingo!

You had no reason to know, but the reason why Kenny Everett is now in Category:LGBT people from England and Category:LGBT comedians instead of Category:Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people is because I saw that last category needed a lot of diffusion - as did the category Category:LGBT people from the United Kingdom. So I've been spending a fair amount of time moving people out of that category, and setting up new subcategories, and I don't really want to see people being moved back into the top-level category unless there's an overwhelming reason why they should be there as well as in their various sub-categories.

License tagging for Image:Life of Brian bbc mugg and cleese s.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Life of Brian bbc mugg and cleese s.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 use policy
 * Image copyright tags

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 Media copyright questions. 20:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

You are a Python fan? I forgive you for liking Victoria Wood (but I do not forget). Raymond Luxury Yacht

Oh cobblers Mr Throat Wobbler Mangrove, Victoria Wood As Seen On TV is only second to MPFC as the greatest sketch show ever. I applaud and boo your taste in comedy simultaneously - bingo99 00:46 25 January 2007

Edit - Just checked, you're a Peter Kay fan but not a Victoria Wood fan!! That's like preferring The Bootleg Beatles to The Beatles.

Regarding edits to Colour Strike
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Bingo99! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule proboards\d{1,3}\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 02:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:So It Goes1.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:So It Goes1.gif. 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 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. (ESkog)(Talk) 19:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Victoria_Wood_DVD.jpg
I have tagged Image:Victoria_Wood_DVD.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.

Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 19:39, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bingo99,

I notice that the As Seen On TV article has reached its good article status. I have to say, even though I did a "significant" amount of edits to the article, most of the credit goes to you - well done!!

Just wanted to leave a note. Bye for now...

Thanks for uploading Image:Stranglers So It Goes3.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at 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 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

SO IT GOES 30TH OCTOBER 1977
I am trying to get hold of a copy of So It Goes from 30th October 1977 Series Two Show 4 (I believe) featuring my partner Roy Hill performing 'George's Bar'. I don't suppose you have a copy of this performance do you or know where I can get one? Thanks Bingo."91.109.251.115 (talk) 18:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)"

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk 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 uploaded by following this link.

Replaceable fair use Image:SallyJames.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SallyJames.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:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) 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. MilborneOne (talk) 13:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Audra Mae


A tag has been placed on Audra Mae requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. RichardLowther (talk) 22:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Sophie Fante until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of The Bowles Brothers Band


The article The Bowles Brothers Band has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Sourced only to a Don Maclean website (the other sources are about what members did after the band finished). The one album is described as 'obscure' online. I can't see any hint of success (other than one TV appearance). Time for article to go, unless someone can conjure up a reason to meet WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
