Images
I thought this might help you as you seemed to be struggling to add an image - Picture tutorial. Bottom line is you can only add pictures which are on wikipedia or wikimedia commons. If you need any help just shout. --Simple Bob (talk) 21:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC) Thank you very much for your advice. I have now cracked it! --Jane Cartney (talk) 23:41, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of A Marshall Mackenzie
A tag has been placed on A Marshall Mackenzie 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 person or group of people, 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 biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. 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. Coolug (talk) 15:49, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Given this edit on the article's talk page, I userfied it for you. You can now find it here, where you'll be able to modify it at will, without having to worry about speedy deletions. However, before moving it back to mainspace, try to familiarise yourself with our notability criteria please, to make sure the article will not be deleted.
 * If you need further assistance, feel free to ping me on my talk page. Salvio  Let's talk 'bout it! 16:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Masonic Temple?
You have asked why I undid your edit and removed a photo from the Masonic Temple article. I think your edit was wrong... Looking through the sources, Scotland seems to follow the usage of the rest of the UK... and the term "Masonic Hall" is significantly more common than "Masonic Temple". In the case with the the specific building pictured, for example, the name of the building is "Masonic Hall". Blueboar (talk) 13:18, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Whilst 'Masonic Hall' is common terminology in Scotland as in the rest of the UK, the term 'Temple' is not infrequently used in Scotland. There are many lodges with the epithet 'Temple': Aberdeen, Dumfries, Forres, Kilmarnock, St Andrews, Paisley to name but a few (this website lists others http://www.haughfoot.co.uk/lodge_addresses.htm).

I fail to understand your assertion that the name of the building in question is "Masonic Hall", and would go so far as to suggest you are incorrect in this statement: The Masonic Temple in Aberdeen was built under this name (http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/building_full.php?id=208620), and is known as such in the city: Lodge of Aberdeen No. 1 Ter MASONIC TEMPLE, 85 CROWN STREET, ABERDEEN http://aberdeenno1ter.com/history.html. --Jane Cartney (talk) 14:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * hmmm... it seems that there is disagreement, even among Masons... according to another Masonic body that meets there the building is called Masonic Hall.
 * But the point stands... yes, there may be one or two "Masonic Temples" in Scotland (there are probably a few in England as well), but "Masonic Hall" is a significantly more common usage.  Even if the building at 85 Crown St., Aberdeen is one of the few that use "Temple", it would be an exception and not a good example... the fact remains that throughout the UK (including Scotland), "Hall" is more common.  Your edit made it seem as if the opposite was true in Scotland. Blueboar (talk) 18:44, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I have no wish to enter into an argument over how many examples may or may not be called temples. However, I have cited more than a few as you state.

My interest in and contributions to Wikipedia are for the purpose of disseminating unbiased factual knowledge and raising standards. I do feel that by not including a reference to the use of 'Temple' in Scotland, the article on Masonic Temple would appear to be biased and therefore of limited value as an encyclopaedic source.

Perhaps it may be beneficial to seek the opinion of an independent third party?--Jane Cartney (talk) 20:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

An afterthought: Referring to the link to "another Masonic body which meets there", which you give, the webpage lists two out of 5 meeting places as temples, and the Masonic Hall listed in Aberdeen is not the Temple in Crown Street, but the Lodge in Bucksburn. --Jane Cartney (talk) 21:08, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * The web page I linked to states that St. George Aboyne (the first one listed) meets in "Masonic Hall, 85 Crown Street, Aberdeen AB11 6EX". Blueboar (talk) 21:36, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I am afraid I do not find this helpful. Nor does this further a meaningful discussion. Perhaps Aboyne do use the term Hall - misnomers abound throughout the net. I would urge you to look again at the links/evidence I have put forward.

I will now discontinue our discussion. Now may be the time to seek the opinion of an independent third party. --Jane Cartney (talk) 20:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I would recommend you to try creating the page as a subpage of your user space (e.g. User:Jane Cartney/Chris Clark), but not before seeing the notability guidelines for musicians. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 15:38, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
