File permission problem with File:Unicycle Football.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Unicycle Football.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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:UnicycleFootball.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:UnicycleFootball.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that your 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. Stefan2 (talk) 22:01, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Unicycle football article
I noticed that you moved User:Dickiesmallworth/sandbox to Unicycle Football. Actually, pages with the "Wikipedia:" prefix are not part of the encyclopedia itself - they are the behind-the-scenes pages where editors discuss how the project should work. You can read about that at Namespace.

I could have moved the page into the encyclopedia, calling it Unicycle football, but I chose not to. The article currently has no independent sources that demonstrate that other people, independent of the Unicycle Football League, have thought it worth writing about. Without this evidence of "notability", an article is likely to be deleted. There's a handy summary at WP:42.

So for now I have moved it back to User:Dickiesmallworth/sandbox so that you can work on it some more. When you decide that it is ready, see So you made a userspace draft for instructions on what to do next.

It looks a fun sport! -- John of Reading (talk) 21:04, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Unicycle Football League


The article Unicycle Football League has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No sources that aren't self promotional"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
