Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Leicesterscribe! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Sallicio$\color{Red} \oplus$ 23:44, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Brookfield London Road 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Brookfield London Road 2.jpg. 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) 00:06, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Benjamin Burrows
A tag has been placed on Benjamin Burrows 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Fair use rationale for File:Thomas_Fielding_Johnson_Portrait.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Thomas_Fielding_Johnson_Portrait.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:59, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Melesse. I've now added a fair-use rationale to the Thomas Fielding Johnson Portrait.jpg image description. I've also added a comment to the talkpage.

File source problem with File:Thomas Fielding Johnson Portrait.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Thomas Fielding Johnson Portrait.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 22:03, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Thomas Fielding Johnson Portrait.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Thomas Fielding Johnson Portrait.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have questions, please post them here.
 * I will automatically remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please ask an admin to turn it off here.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 15:27, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi you still have not filled in your source at File:Thomas Fielding Johnson Portrait.jpg after I restored it. It would be good if you can show this is public domain, then the fair use claim will not have to be used. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:45, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

I have seen the source, so that bit is now OK. Since you are only claiming fair use and not trying to prove it is public domain then I can cut the bigger iamge. Since you are a member of the society, can you find out where the picture came from? As it may still be possible to show it is public domain. The image was obviously printed, and so is very likely to have been previously published. If the original publication can be determined then there is a better chance of public domin proof. It is pretty unlikely that the appearance on the society web site is the first time it was ever published, so a copyright granted by the society on it may not be valid, unless they can show copyright ownership. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:00, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

OK. I'll try to track down the original image. Many thanks, Graeme Leicesterscribe (talk) 18:57, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited List of people from Leicester, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jack Simmons (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello, Leicesterscribe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Stoneygate Conservation Area Society, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
