Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "GlasgowFilmmakersAlliance", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 20:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Would changing our name affect the articles we have created? --GlasgowFilmmakersAlliance (talk) 20:54, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. Any edits you made will be transferred to your new username if you request that it be changed.  Your organization's name(or an abbreviation for it) can be a part of your username(such as "Joe at GFA"), it just cannot be the entirety of your username.  Your username must identify you as an individual(please see the username policy for more information). 331dot (talk) 20:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Cool. No problem changing the name but I cant see from that link a way in which to do it. --GlasgowFilmmakersAlliance (talk) 21:06, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I think this page is the right one for you; there are some instructions there. 331dot (talk) 21:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, request sent--GlasgowFilmmakersAlliance (talk) 21:14, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jim Sweeney (actor)


A tag has been placed on Jim Sweeney (actor) 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 a person or group of people, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. red dogsix (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Euan Bennet


A tag has been placed on Euan Bennet 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 a person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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.

Copy and paste
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give The Raptor Filmz Short Scottish Film Festival a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into The Scottish Short Film Festival. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

 * No problem at all, an admin fixed it, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:26, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry this is the first time I have done an article where the subject has changed name. I knew that a lot of pages used diverts so I presumed the way to do it was to create a new one but have the original page divert. If I need to do this again in the future I will consult the link above. Many Thanks ChrisGFA (talk) 19:11, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve David Carlyle
Hello, ChrisGFA,

Thank you for creating David Carlyle.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"Hi, I've just reviewed the article on David Carlyle, and it doesn't appear to meet Wikipedia's policy for Biographies of Living Persons, which can be found at WP:BLP. In particular, the article lacks citations to reliable sources that can be used to verify the content (see WP:VERIFY). Hopefully those links should provide enough guidance about improvements needed, but feel free to reach out to me on my talk page if you have any questions. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:18, 24 May 2022 (UTC)"

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with. Remember to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
