Welcome!
(Original Research)I have been investigating this locally- it appears that it is excellently researched- and the commissioned attractions have been completed- but not installed, as animatronics need a dust free environment before they can be installed and this was not appreciated. It was opened by the financial and marketing bods before it was completed, in a hurry. It was planned that the staff should undergo extensive Dickensian training- but as it was not complete- the training couldn't and hasn't happened. Scripts have been written but not yet introduced- the Dickensians are immensely frustrated that this has gone of half cock. ClemRutter 12:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Could you tell me if this is how I reply to your post as I have a lot to add but do not understand the Wiki system.

Ouse Valley Railway
Much of the article seems copied from http://www.horstedkeynes.com/ousevalley.html. Are you the copyright holder, or do you have authorisation to copy it here ?

The same applies with the photo - which is much more likely to be picked by the image police, who insist taht details of the copyright status be included with the upload. -- Beardo 15:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)



I AM www.horstedkeynes.com! If I understood how to do it I would happily add the details requested.

License tagging for Image:Ouse1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ouse1.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. 16:08, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ouse Valley Railway


The article Ouse Valley Railway has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Cut & paste copy from, which explicitly retains copyright. Cannot be CSD'd because of intervening edits.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised.


 * Perhaps I may be able to help (I hope so, anyway). Firstly, any information published on Wikipedia must be freely available to everyone else (I paraphrase a bit, as I'm not a lawyer). On your website you have, and I quote:
 * "© September 2009 All exclusive content on this web site (including photographs) is copyright and may not be published in any media or  reproduced on any other web page without express written permission. This will not be unreasonably withheld as long as you ask FIRST! We are very unusual in allowing almost all pictures on H.K.Com to be viewed and downloaded in full resolution for PERSONAL use only. Just click on the picture that you want to study and it will open. If you then see a little + symbol left click again to view it full size. To save the picture right click and then "Save As". You may NOT copy our pictures onto other web sites without specific permission."
 * This indicates that, however you may feel about publishing in Wikipedia itself, you are constricting the free use of the information elsewhere.
 * The second point relates to Original Research. This may seem counter-intuitive, but Wikipedia specifically discourages editors from publishing work they have researched themselves.
 * The above is my limited understanding of the principle. I'm sure more experienced people will correct me where needed. Hope this clarifies (if not being the answer you may want). Best regards. Jan1nad (talk) 10:48, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Please visit Donating copyrighted materials. In short, just because you say here that you are the author is not enough. You must release your copyright under a free license (or release your material into the public domain) in order for us to use it and you must do so in a manner so that we know you are the actual person who has the rights to do so.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Further to Jan1nad's message: the copyright notice on your website clearly means that we can't use content from it on Wikipedia - you can't just give Wikipedia permission to use it. Anything which is on Wikipedia can be freely copied and used (for any purpose, including commercially) by anyone, anywhere in the world. Giving Wikipedia permission to use it would mean that anyone is free to (according to Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License - CC-BY-SA 3.0) "to Share: to copy, distribute and transmit the work; and

to Remix: to adapt the work" as long as it is attributed to the author/owner. As Fuhgettaboutit says, if you read Donating copyrighted materials (DCM) that will explain how you can go about doing this - basically, you either change the notice on your site allowing people to use it according the CC-BY-SA 3.0 (which probably won't be what you would want to do) or by contacting the Wikimedia Foundation (as detailed in DCM) from an e-mail address associated with the website. If you have any further questions, contact any of the editors who have written here - we'll help out, or point you to someone who can!

Many thanks for the updates, that makes things a lot clearer. Let me explain my problem...

When I first put up the HK site in 1996 another site lifted page after page and put it straight on to THEIR site unaltered (even including my errors) and even sent some of the information to a local Sussex magazine where it was published under THEIR authorship! I therfore felt that I was obliged to put some sort of copywrite on the web site - not that I am against people using the information but not lifting entire sections. I understand (and probably support) the part about self research but do not know how to get round that. I suppose I will have to leave it for the page to be deleted and then put up somthing a lot simpler hopefully including a link to my web site. Would it be understood if I did that immediatly? Oh well and again many thanks for the clear explanation.

p.s. I regret that I still find the editing hard to do although I understand the restrictions are to keep a uniform appearence to the site.

Hello, I'm Kashmiri. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Spinal muscular atrophy, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Hi, What you added to spinal muscular atrophy has no relevance to the actual disorder. Maybe it was to be added elsewhere?''  kashmiri  TALK  23:04, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Ithought that I understood computer systems but must admit that I find Wikipedia rather hard to fathom so sincere apologies if I do wrong - I am doing my best!

This page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Benzole should be amended as the company has been wound up. This is confirmed here but I am unable to modify the top of the page where I feel this information would be most appropriate. Any help appreciated, thanks Cashpot (talk) 20:59, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
