Unspecified source for Image:Alister_williamson.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Alister_williamson.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 21:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Alister williamson.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Alister williamson.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Sebastian Shaw (actor)
Your recent edit to Sebastian Shaw (actor) undid lots of hard work by other editors during a drive to get this article up to Good Article quality status. In the future please discuss such a drastic revert to a previous poorer quality version of the article on its talk page. Thanks. Cirt (talk) 05:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of William Courtenay (actor)


A tag has been placed on William Courtenay (actor) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you.  Cind. amuse  14:25, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Leslie French
Hi, I've fixed up your recent edits to Leslie French. I've not changed any of the main text - that's exactly the same (save for the insertion of a space just after two of the reference tags). All my changes were to the references:
 * where you use the same reference more than once, you don't need to give it in full every time, see WP:NAMEDREFS. So, I have condensed down to.
 * If you use a website as a reference source, it shouldn't be added to the "External links" section as well, see WP:EL. Also, the "External links" section should go after the "References" section, see MOS:APPENDIX. So, I made.
 * The URLs shouldn't be enclosed in single braces because the closing one will be taken as part of the URL, which won't work. Try clicking one of the www.independent.co.uk links in . There are several ways of using URLs - the easiest is just to put it alone inside the  tags. The next most common way is to put it in single square brackets, preferably with the page title also enclosed, ie
 * and the third way, which provides the most information, is to use one of the citation templates. I have used for the Independent obituary, and  for the other two,.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sebastian shaw 1979.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Sebastian shaw 1979.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. 70.112.211.41 (talk) 18:29, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Frank Ling
Hello Gillray, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Frank Ling, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Frank Ling.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!
