Article creation
I have been looking through the list of unwatched pages (available only to administrators) and found 'supplementary' football leagues. I see that you created this but were not watching it. You may want to go to your preferences and under the "editing" tab turn on "Add pages you edit to your watchlist". This will enable you to keep an eye out for any edits that are made to pages you create and help to revert vandalism. If you do decide to turn it on can you please drop me a note on my talk page so I can cut down my excessive watchlist (6000+). Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi there - I noticed that the page you created, Scottish Football Federation was uncategorised. I think you may have attempted to add a category but did not wikify it correctly. I have added it to the Category - 'Defunct Scottish football competitions'. If you look at the history of the page you can see what I did. It would also have been useful to add a reference or two. The page is in danger of being tagged as lacking sources and possibly being removed if you don't, which would be a pity. Good luck with your research. Ben MacDui 19:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Drybrough_Cup.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Drybrough_Cup.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.

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 Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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 Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 13:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
