User talk:Darrylxxx

Hi T.P.K.

Thank you for your note. I am not new to Wikipedia as you seem to think - I have been registered since at least 2004. But I am not a regular contributor. Whilst I appreciate your comments and guidance, I do not appreciate you marking my contribution for speedy deletion within minutes of my posting the first part of my article about Clara Copley. Clara was a legend in Belfast in the 1930's, a period I am very interested in. Her prize fights in the Chapel Fields in Belfast were hugely popular at that time and of immense local significance. The names of the Irish boxers from Belfast who went on to become world champions was included in the article, including my grandfather's brother Jimmy Warnock and the great Rinty Monaghan. Please keep your trigger finger in control! I thought it would be better to put down something early and continue it as my researches continue (I am trying to find more information about the period and will be updating this regularly.

 * Thanks! Darryl

A tag has been placed on Clara Copley, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mhking 22:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Clara Copley
The article you've written doesn't have any sources in it. You presumably got the information from somewhere, but where? You'll need to produce these things so that others can help with the article, and ultimately make the subject fit WP:BIO. ColourBurst 00:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

The article now has reference. Darryl


 * Also, Darryl, when you use a source you can't simply copy the source, you can use information from the source, but you have to use quotation marks if you do copy it directly. This is probably what the issue was with the article that led to the request for speedy deletion, although I don't know.  Anyway, I fixed it up with some information on the boxers, and removed the copyright violations, which have been deleted from the edit history, also.  The article will be fine.  She sounds interesting, and I suspect there are plenty of local references to her in newspapers in the library with a stable of boxers like this, even if only before they started boxing professionally.  Let me know if you have any questions by posting on my talk page.  Thanks for taking the time to create an article on a colorful, if obscure, woman in the world of boxing, as I think it adds overall to Wikipedia. --KP Botany 01:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. I appreciate it and aspire to do better in the future! :-) --darryl


 * You're welcome. There is an article in a Belfast paper that we should try to get.  She sounds like an interesting character. I had never heard of her, but I know boxing in Belfast in the 30s and immediately post-WWII was incredible.  It was fun to be reminded of this.  KP Botany 01:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Where did you see reference to the Belfast paper? Any idea which one it was? Belfast Telegraph? Irish News? Newsletter? Rgds Darryl

Billy Warnock
I nominated an article you created for deletion. Please see Articles for deletion/Billy Warnock. Of course, no offence is intended to you, but I don't think the article as it stands asserts notability. Best wishes --Guinnog 18:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I understand you are unhaapy which is why I let you know. If you want to contest the deletion, you can go to the deletion debate linked above. Incidentally it may be better not to edit articles on one's own family, see WP:COI. Best wishes, --Guinnog 19:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for responding. I have gone to the deletion debate and made my point. I understand the WP:COI stuff, but it is difficult to feel conflicted about someone fighting in the 1930's, family or not. Darrylxxx 19:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)darryl
 * You might be interested in WikiProject Boxing if you haven't already seen it. --Guinnog 19:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Jimmy_Warnock.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Jimmy_Warnock.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Shyam ( T / C ) 07:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. I have added the Promophoto tag. Not sure if I need to do anything extra. The photo was clearly a boxers promo shot so I think this is the appropriate tag.

Fair use rationale for Image:Jimmy_Warnock.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jimmy_Warnock.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. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 20:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hooley Media
A tag has been placed on Hooley Media 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 company or corporation, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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. Netalarm 16:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Banjax (folk music band)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Banjax (folk music band), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Banjax. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:26, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

FYI
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Banjax a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. 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. 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 Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.
