Speedy deletion nomination of Boston Hotel Buckminster
A tag has been placed on Boston Hotel Buckminster requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Our Fathers (novel)
Hi. Wanted to drop you a note that when you want to relocate an article, you generally do so by moving it. Copying the contents and pasting them into another space, as you did with Our Fathers to Our Fathers (novel), is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history. If you move text in this way without providing a direct link to the original article, it is a licensing violation, as we must give credit to the copyright owners of our text (that is, our contributors). I'm fixing this one, but if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen so that an administrator can put the history back with the article. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:42, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Forest Hills Station at night.jpg
File:Forest Hills Station at night.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Forest Hills Station at night.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 22:24, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:MassWildlife.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading File:MassWildlife.jpg. 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.  Zoo Fari  03:11, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Awkward Animals
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Awkward Animals. 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 Notability and "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(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Awkward Animals. 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.

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. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ghost Mantis Ootheca.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Ghost Mantis Ootheca.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Boston! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Brigham & Women's Logo
Hello Boston. I was wondering how we could add a BWH logo to the Brigham and Women's Hospital page.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 19:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Boston.

The license of your images at commons have been changed by an IP from PD to Cc-by-sa-3.0. There are two problems with that. 1) Images can not be relicensed. If the have been in PD they will always be in in PD 2) If an IP does the change, it might have been you but nobody knows. That is why the changes have been reverted. You can change the license to if you want. Amada44  talk to me 14:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Boston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Statilia maculata 2.jpg

File permission problem with File:Sleevegarter.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sleevegarter.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 , 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 .

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 File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Sajama Lines.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sajama Lines.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. Kelly hi! 00:54, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Picklepin.jpg

Replaceable fair use File:XIX.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:XIX.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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.

Fair use rationale for File:Cushing-mosaic.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cushing-mosaic.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

Non-free rationale for File:Our-Lady-of-Camarin.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Our-Lady-of-Camarin.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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.

File:Washington in Public Garden.jpg
Are you John Stephen Dwyer? If so do you mind if I add that to the photo, if not, I think it needs verified permission for use. I was planning to transfer it to Commons. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 22:50, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No answer from the uploader, but I noticed User:Boston/Photos which says: "These are all photos I took myself and uploaded to Wikipedia." The photo you're asking about appears in the gallery, so I assume that User:Boston and John Stephen Dwyer are the same person. I assume that a clarification about this should be added to all images. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:44, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm glad that you found that. I would make the same assumptions. What do I need to do from here? Should we just add that they are one in the same on all of his images or do we need to wait for him to do it? -- Тимофей ЛееСуда .  15:27, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have added the statement "Own work according to User:Boston/Photos so it can be assumed that John Stephen Dwyer and User:Boston are the same person." to some images, but there might be more images needing a statement about this. I assume that this statement is enough. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:09, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

File source problem with File:John's.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:John's.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

 * He found the audience questionable b/c those editors don't edit often anymore. And that's true, I hadnt checked that beforehand. But so what.

Speedy deletion nomination of Inkwell Foundation


A tag has been placed on Inkwell Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Sionk (talk) 11:00, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of London Metropolitan Orchestra


A tag has been placed on London Metropolitan Orchestra, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Proposed deletion of Scrarour


The article Scrarour has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable place with no legal recognition. If it were a populated place, it might meet WP:GEOLAND (and hence might be worth merging/redirecting/covering in the next largest administrative division which does have legal recognition). But it has ZERO population. Not a single house or resident. The subject here is, effectively, 3.5 fields spanning 0.1 square miles. I have searched for sources to confirm notability (and expand this beyond the one-line DICDEF entry it has remained since creation. But I can find nothing at all. The author seems to have created this only so there wouldn't be a redlink on another article. It otherwise has no encyclopedic value. WP:NOTEVERYTHING"

Proposed deletion of Skenakilly


The article Skenakilly has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Subject doesn't exist. Not by this name at any rate. The incredibly comprehensive townlands.ie directory has no entry for 'Skenakilly'. Nor does the state-sponsored Placenames Database of Ireland have any entry for 'Skenakilly' either. Both directories have entries for a different spelling Skenakilla (with an 'a'). But these just confirm that the subject exists as a small (0.4 sq mile) townland. A broader search confirms that this is a 'populated place without legal recognition' (with a population of 22 people in 10 houses no less). But that's all I can find. WP:GEOLAND would suggest covering the subject under the article on the next largest sub-division (the civil parish in which it lies). But we don't need a redirect to do that. And it would largely just stand as an WP:EASTEREGG. Article only seems to have been created to avoid a redlink. It has no other encyclopedic value. Other than to explain why we have WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:GEOLAND guidelines."

Proposed deletion of Ardkillihien


The article Ardkillihien has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The titular subject doesn't exist. There is no townland called 'Ardkillihien' in the Civil Parish of Castletownroche. The intended subject here was/is probably the townland known in Irish as Ard Coilchín (and in English as 'Naglesborough'). Naglesborough/Ard Coilchín, however, is not where the coords indicate (the coords point between the townlands of Castlewidenham and Connaberry). And is a very small townland regardless (0.3 sq mi 10 residents in 2011). There is more wrong here than right. Moving the article to the correct title (Naglesborough/Ard Coilchín), and 'fixing' the coords, would be of no value. As there would be no other content regardless (the updated stub would remain another DICDEF permastub, and stand only as an example of why WP:GEOLAND doesn't provide for the creation of 'directory' style entries for every possible small parcel of land everywhere..."

Proposed deletion of Rathacarthen


The article Rathacarthen has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The titular subject doesn't exist. There is no townland called 'Rathacarthen' in the Civil Parish of Castletownroche. The intended subject here was/is probably the townland of 'Rathnacarton'. However, a move/redirect would likely just result in (another) DICDEF permastub. As the townland of Rathnacarton is very small (290 acres), contains only a small number of houses, and is too small for the census returns to contain any data (which only happens when townlands have less than 4 people in them; for privacy reasons). While WP:GEOLAND might propose that we redirect and cover the topic in the next largest administrative area (the Civil Parish of Castletownroche), this would likely just be an EASTEREGG. As there would be little to nothing to say. Article seems to have been created just to avoid a redlink in a list..."

Proposed deletion of Loughrowane


The article Loughrowane has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unclear how subject meets WP:GEOLAND. The subject is a very small townland (0.4 square miles, 6 houses, 17 inhabitants) on the outskirts of Castletownroche. Townlands do not automatically meet the expectations of GEOLAND, and while the place does have a small population, I can find no material sources to either establish notability (independent of the town/civil parish of which it is part). Or to allow for expansion beyond this PERMASTUB. While we could redirect to Castletownroche (the next largest legally recognised place that contains it), that just seems like it would be an WP:EASTEREGG. This 9-word article seems to have been created just to avoid a redlink in a single article/list..."
