RGSAO
Regarding your message about RGSAO which I have just seen, I would like to make a few points of information. Firstly, the Alice Ottley School did used to be a charity as can bee seen on the Charity Commission website. On this topic of charities, charitable status is not renewed on a yearly basis and new charities are formed only when new charities are created or changed! (see the Charity Commission website for further details). These are merely facts which I wish to bring to your attention and do not represent any of my personal views regarding any articles on Wikipedia. Regarding the old pupils association, there is no visible link to the AO Old Girls page on the RGSAO web-page as you claim. If the website has not been updated the information on there should nevertheless be considered correct and representative of the views of the school. Otherwise one would be dealing with speculation, which as you rightly say is not recommended by Wikipedia. I still have an issue with the supposed name of the school. Since you admit people do call the school RGS Worcester (albeit out of potential ignorance) this should still be made clear on the website. I feel many of your points are far too subjective for Wikipedia articles, but objectivity will come with research experience. At the Cambridge OE dinner the headmaster made it clear that people locally and within the school would refer to it as 'RGS Worcester' (this may be checked with any of the teachers who attended that dinner). I am sure this last point will remain contentious, but I wish to make it clear that Wikipedia does not tolerate one sided views in articles. Indeed a message below seems to confirm this last point. --D301ds (talk) 10:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Bot archiving
The way I have mine set up is explained here - User:Werdnabot/Archiver/Howto (though Werdna isn't the one running the bot anymore, and its configuration system is showing its age) - there is also a more recently made bot that I've never bothered to switch to, that is explained at User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo and may be a better option (looks like it's more flexible, and does stuff like switch over to a new archive automatically) —Random832 23:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
Hello Btline, I take your point that there is a perfectly good source for The Royal Grammar School article but as a pupil of this school I can tell you that the wikipedia page isn't true (If you read the page and the edit I made, no body calls it RGSAO) Therefore I edited the page.

How can I ensure that this will not be flagged up again and therefore not have to go through this stage again?

(I also apologise if this is not the correct way to contact other members - I couldn't see any other way.) —Preceding unsigned comment was not added by Btline (talk but by someone else!• contribs) 18:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

 * Yes, I think it's the same user as the anonymous IPs. I've copied the message I left on one of the IP talk pages, so that (s)he actually sees it this time!  --RFBailey (talk) 22:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * A fair use image should only really be used to illustrate the subject of the article it is placed on. Thus, Image:Class_172.jpg is OK for the British Rail Class 172 article, as it shows what a Class 172 will look like.  It doesn't, however, show anything specific to London Midland (or to Chiltern Railways); if it was in their livery, it might be acceptable, but it isn't.  As for the other images, as the pictures are of different (albeit similar) types of unit from those they were illustrating, that could be seen as misleading.  Does that make sense?  --RFBailey (talk) 17:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Wizzard (band)‎
Hello. I see you think I've vandalised this article by removing the deletion template and the disambiguation note. Please take note of the following:


 * 1) The rule on proposed deletions says I am permitted to remove such a notice, provided I give a reason. I gave a reason – a few minutes of Googling told me that this band existed and was covered in some heavy metal-oriented sources.
 * 2) The rule on contested deletions says that once a notice is removed, it should not be restored.
 * 3) This guideline on disambiguation advises not to add a "hatnote" when a name is not ambiguous.

In other words, I have not vandalised the article, but tried to follow Wikipedia's rules.

Now, I am going to remove the warnings you left on my page, and then restore my edits to the article. If you wish to pursue its deletion, then Articles for deletion is, I think, the next step. Thanks. Man Who Was (talk) 22:40, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Firstly, you are allowed to remove such notices only, and I mean only, when not only you have given a reason, but have validated it with sources etc. Therefore, you were not following Wiki policy, and I was perfectly allowed to re-add the template. The article still does not establish notability! Btline (talk) 22:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I think you ought to read this again. I need only give a reason (which I did). There's nothing in there about having to rewrite the whole article. Man Who Was (talk) 22:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * please read what is on the template! Btline (talk) 22:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The template says: "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to its deletion for any reason." I object to the article's deletion for reasons that have already been provided. Twice.  Man Who Was (talk) 23:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Users who disagree with a proposed deletion are allowed to remove the dated prod tag, even if they don't add any more material to an article or provide any other reason why it should be kept. If an article is proposed for deletion and someone removes the tag, this is not vandalism. Moreover, the tag cannot be replaced -- the article needs to be debated at Articles for deletion. The policies at Proposed deletion make this clear. Furthermore, reporting at WP:AIV (and misspelling his name to boot!) is misusing the process. Please make yourself familiar with Wikipedia policies. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 23:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Please go to WP:AFD if you think the article should still be deleted. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 23:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NXC.png
Thank you for uploading Image:NXC.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

News at Ten/The Late News
Just to let you know, on the News at Ten page, it was me who added the piece on the possible axing of NaT. This was sourced from the Express. Not one other major media source has ran this story. It seems very unlikely that News at Ten is going anywhere at the moment. As for the late news, Radio Times, The Sun's TV Guide and itv.com are just a few of the TV listings still billing ITV's late Friday night news as The Late News. As we aren't going to agree, I suggest we rename the article as ITV Late News, as that is most likely the name now used among insiders.

Happy Easter, BTW. :) GMc  talk  00:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Lm170b.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Lm170b.png. 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. Adambro (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have replied to your comment on my talk page. Please see the query below also. Adambro (talk) 20:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Remember that I have previously advised against using screenshots from YouTube: see . Why have you started doing this now?  --RFBailey (talk) 21:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The situation is this. Whoever filmed the video (i.e. the person who stood on the platform with their camera) is the owner of the copyright.  It's that simple.  Just because they then decided to upload it to YouTube doesn't change that.  Now, if I take a photograph of something and upload it to Wikipedia (or to the Wikimedia Commons, e.g. ), then in order to comply with the rules, I effectively relinquish my ownership of the image and it becomes "free".  (Specifically, I licence it under the GFDL.)  However, YouTube doesn't have such a requirement on its contributors, and has a much more lenient approach to copyright issues (basically, as they are owned by a very rich corporation, they can afford good lawyers!).  As a result, you don't have the legal rights to something you find on YouTube, whether it's a Hollywood feature film, and old episode of a BBC comedy, an old ITV logo, or some video of a train that someone took with a digital camcorder, so you can't upload it to Wikipedia.  You a probably right when you say that the original taker will not mind, as they put the photo on YouTube, but unless you have their explicit permission (or they have licenced it appropriately), you still can't upload it.


 * Wikipedia does, however, allow non-free images but only under circumstances when a free replacement is impossible to obtain (for instance, a photograph of a historical event). As Adambro has explained, as it is perfectly possible for someone (whether that be you or somebody else) to go down to your local railway station and take a photograph.  As the new livery becomes more widespread, this will become easier.  You just have to be patient!  --RFBailey (talk) 17:51, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Basically, don't upload any photographs unless you took them yourself. If you stick to that principle, you won't have any problems!  --RFBailey (talk) 17:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Eardington Halt
Hi. If you want to move a different page to this title you shouldn't bring the issue to Articles for Deletion. Articles that are being discussed for deletion are articles that aren't edited, and you would like to edit that article. Please let me know what you would like to do and I'll be happy to help you. You can reply on this page. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 08:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I wish to move "Erdington Halt railway station" to "Eardington Halt" (more accurate name) but can't because the page is currently exists as a redirect. I want that page deleted so I can move the EH railway station page to EH. Btline (talk) 17:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I don't think that's a good idea becasue it looks all the railway stop articles are titled "......railway station." But its an unfamiliar subject to me, so I won't get to involved. In regarding to moving a page (which is what you want to do), usually all you have to do is use the "move" tab at the top of the page (for more info, see Help:Merging and moving pages). But if the page that you want to move is already a redirect, then usually you won't be able to move it unless you're an administrater. I'm not an admistrater, so I can't help you with that. But you can ask any admistrater that you know, and see what they say. Alternativly, you post the request here: Requested moves, but that takes a while. If I was unclear, or if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. Best, -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 18:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, I saw this on AfD. The agreed naming convention for halts is - Halt railway station. I know that it creates rather long titles, but that's the way it is. If you are interested in raiways why not join the Trains WikiProject or UK railways WikiProject? Mjroots (talk) 15:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your post. I've only later noticed what you mean by the 'scientific notation' on the inches. think the template must be broken as it wasn't doing that before.

Why the notification came to you
Hello! That notification came to because you was the creator of a Wikipedia's image page of a Commons-hosted image. So, you didn't upload the image on Commons but created by editing the image page on Wikipedia. I hope that I made it clear for you. Regards, Sdrtirs (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, again! You didn't create the page on Commons but created the page on Wikipedia. An image on Commons can be seen in all Wikipedia's languages. So, if the Wikipedia don't have a image, on that page is displayed the image page of Commons, and just by editing the Wikipedia's page if nobody had edited the same page on Wikipedia, it will be created and the first editor the creator. Regards, Sdrtirs (talk) 19:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, that's incorrect and based on a misunderstanding. Btline, you didn't create the page - it's simply because of the "hole" in history that occurs when moving things between various wiki's. Regardless, the person who requests a page deleted should always inform the person who uploaded/authored it, not some random person who commented on it. In this case for example, the person who should have been informed by Sdrtirs is Loganberry (or alternatively his account on commons). Rabo3 (talk) 19:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Regarding this comment. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing what you added below the file, considering that the original presumably is gone, and only the Commons remains (with the file that appears on English wiki simply being a hotlink to the Commons). A vague memory tells me that a few wiki admin's can see pages that have been deleted, but it isn't something I've ever had to use, and therefore haven't spend any amount of time actually finding out how it works (a place to start might be reading through WP:Undeletion to see if there's anything useful). Otherwise, you might try the helpdisk. Not much help, I know! Rabo3 (talk) 21:26, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Beeching2.svg
Hi there - I saw the graphic you designed showing the current lines versus those that would have remained open with the Beeching plan. I don't know the degree of accuracy you were looking for, but you've seem to have excluded the rail line going from Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli. vckeating (talk) 15:04, 30 July 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!

Island Line Trains and templates
Hi,

You undid my recent edit to this article, with the edit summary "please do not collapse templates". May I ask why this is? All the templates on the page are relevant and only the {{tl|Transportation on the Isle of Wight)) one could possibly be removed (and that's debatable). It's not that I don't like the TOC templates, but they take up an awful lot of vertical space. Surely Avoid template creep would suggest collapsing templates other than the core one is sensible... --Peeky44 (talk) 20:00, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Firstly, I did not undo the whole edit. Concerning the templates, the TOC ones are the main ones on this article- esp due to the history of the various TOCs. All other such pages do not have the templates hidden. As it is only a small page, the templates are not such a big problem. That is why I changed your edit. Regards, Btline (talk) 00:00, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Apologies, the word 'undid' was inappropriate. Personally, I would have thought the danger of templates becoming overwhelming is a bigger problem on smaller pages such as this, rather than (for example) Gatwick Express.  However, as we have our own viewpoints and the matter is not particularly important, I will leave it here.  Thanks for the prompt response.  --Peeky44 (talk) 11:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

RGS Worcester and The Alice Ottley School
RGS Worcester and The Alice Ottley School. Re to do list: Talk:RGS Worcester and The Alice Ottley School- an article you  have been involved with. As a local person, I have just read the entire articlewith  great interest. It has obviously  been prepared with  great  care, and I hesitate to tag it;  however, I feel it  still reads partly like an essay and that some passages may contain subjective wording that might  conflict  with  Wikipedia's MOS.--Kudpung (talk) 02:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Btline, I've answered more fully on its talk page here: Talk:RGS Worcester and The Alice Ottley School, and flagged some of the more obviously  places in the text. --Kudpung (talk) 07:17, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
