Fair use rationale for File:Network ten logos.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Network ten logos.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Polly (Parrot) 18:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:West_metro.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:West_metro.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 00:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

The Rebels
Mate, I love the enthusiasm but slow down a bit ;) I want to help out with the new page, so how about you lay out a list of things to do so we're not working across purposes. Just be careful about paring back the ARC Rebels article for the moment. You never know, the VRU might try and tie the new franchise directly to the old one for PR purposes.Paul. Paul Roberton (talk) 13:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I just found this article written by Harold Mitchell

If we take the article at face value, the team WILL be the Melbourne Rebels, it will be owned by Mitchell. Given announcements today Brian Waldron of the Melbourne Storm is the likely CEO but it hasn't be confirmed as his role hasn't been defined.

I'm starting to think we move the current Melbourne Rebels article to Melbourne Rebels(ARC) and the new article at Melbourne Rebels that way we can have a disambig at the top that reads  For the team of the same name in the defunct Australian Rugby Championship please see Melbourne Rebels(ARC)

That way anyone looking for information on "The Melbourne Rebels" will find an article on the new team rather than the old one.

We should also start having the discussion on the article talk page at Talk:Melbourne_Rebels as it will need an opinion ballot or concensus to make those changes. Make sure when you want to say something on the talk page that you click 'New Section'. That way any additions you make will appear in a content lists that's automatically generated.

Melbourne Rebels(ARC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Melbourne Rebels(ARC), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Melbourne Rebels. 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.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:23, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied or moved text from into. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:31, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

2010 Shute Shield season moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2010 Shute Shield season, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
