Problems with upload of File:Sir Ellis Hicks.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sir Ellis Hicks.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:06, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Battle of Poitiers
Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! The sections that you entered about who survived, etc., are usually indicated in the substance of the article and not as individual sections. Unless it was a complete list, which would be impossible to compile, I do not know how you could reconstruct who did and did not survive, with the exception of the most notable persons, so it is deceptive to put in a few notable names in a separate section. If there are a few names you can reference as to their death at this battle and it is not already in the text, why don't you put it in there? As you can see, even Froissart had trouble with who did and did not survive - and that was a short time after the actual battle. That is why I have to make a special notation in the section entitled: Nobles and Men-at-Arms who fought with the Black Prince at the bottom of the paragraph regarding John of Ghistelles. I took out POW and inserted captured because I thought the term more appropriate in a medieval article since I have never heard the term POW used in any medieval book or article I have ever read.

Also, I think you are suggesting that Ellis Hicks was in the Battle on another page. That may very well be true, and I do not doubt you, unfortunately it appears that you are using an ancestral website which are not considered adequate Wiki references. I had a Thomas Fenton website which indicated that his ancestor was in the battle and was a cousin to the Black Price and would loved to have put it in the article, unfortunately, I had the same problem as you so far. I am still looking however for a better reference. See: Identifying reliable sources for help in that area.

I do not know what you were doing with the categories, so I took it out since it did not seem correct Wikipedia procedure.

You are welcome to ask an administrator and perhaps they can help give you a better explanation as to what you want to put into the article. Unfortunately, I am unqualified for the "where to find" as to prove your assertion as to the man you put into the article. If I see it anywhere along the way, I will give it to you with a proper reference that wiki will accept. If you are truly worried about making mistakes, join the club. That is how most of us learn. OK?

Possible source for you claim as to Ellis Hicks
Grovyle4life:

http://www.e-familytree.net/F51/F51957.htm - mentions his source as: Note Source: Broderbund WFT Vol. 21 Tree 139.   If you can find that source, you will probably have an excellent reference. Try to locate it through the person who put it into the source. You might get lucky. Good luck! Mugginsx (talk) 21:13, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I see that it is just another ancestral source. Perhaps you could personally contact some of the people on the list.  They may have actual documentation somewhere. If he was a member of the Knihts of the Garter, I think there are some documents which show the names of many of the knights.  He is not mentioned here under ellis or hicks http://www.heraldica.org/topics/orders/garterlist.htm#list but it is probably not a complete list. Keep looking.

Have moved entire discussion to Talk:Battle of Poitiers (1356)
I have moved the entire discussion to the Battle of Poitiers discussion page so that others more experienced editors can help. Mugginsx (talk) 12:34, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

A source for a later Hicks -
Also, please do not berate yourself. Wiki is supposed to be fun and educational. Here is a reference to a Hicks but a later one. It is at page 419 at http://www.archive.org/stream/dictionarynatio06stepgoog#page/n428/mode/2up Unfortunately, the updated Dictionary of National Biography is a subcription based Dictionary through Oxford. You seem to have a very wonderful family history. Keep searching and I will help if you want but I think your best bet is with the England-based family members. I put it on the article discussion page so others (who may possibly have access to the later Dictionary of National Biography) might help. Mugginsx (talk) 10:41, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Slizer.gif
 Thanks for uploading File:Slizer.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 04:09, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:MorrisPratt.gif
Thanks for uploading File:MorrisPratt.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:10, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ellis Hicks


A tag has been placed on Ellis Hicks 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

I'd like to ask you a few quick questions: You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchuk@undefinedwikimedia.org).
