Hi. When you uploaded Image:IMGP0629PHB2005DARGO.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with GFDL-presumed and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually GFDL-self or PD-self. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 22:15, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that you attempted to file a deletion discussion on the article Nick Clegg Says I'm Sorry (The Autotune Remix) but did not complete the process.

This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Note that if you are editing as an unregistered user, you cannot create a discussion page. Please consider registering an account or asking another user to help you complete the process at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Thank you. ansh 666 19:03, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

I think you have a very good point about one candidate being just below 5%. But I did not agree with your solution, since it produced a mathematically incorrect result. So I have added an extra decimal place to the percentages.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:05, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

City of Cardiff Council election, 2012
Hi Paul, you added a "Changes by 2017" table to City of Cardiff Council election, 2012 last year, but I'm not sure what it refers to. Is it supposed to give the position of the parties before the 2017 election? And when is "current"? Cheers. Sionk (talk) 17:30, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Sionk I put it up before the 2017 elections to indicate the then state of the parties as there had been quite a lot of movment (defections, expulsions and by-elections etc) between 2012 and 2017. It's no longer needed so I've deleted it.

City of Cardiff Council election, 2017
Re your reversion of my changes, while you're right that changes shouldn't consider defections, you're incorrect that it should ignore by-elections. The comparison should be based on previously elected councillors. If there has been a by-election these councillors have been elected. If they subsequently loose the seat at an election, this is a loss. By the way I checked this with the WikiProject Elections and Referendums and they concurred. Sionk (talk) 21:21, 8 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Sionk I would argue that changes in the results table for 2017 should be made in comparison to the results from 2012 - which is how it would be presented by the BBC for example on election night. If the policy here is to do it differently I think the table at the top of the page should some how reflect it.


 * There were an unusually high number of seats changing hands in Cardiff between 2012-2017, the bulk of which then reverted back to their 2012 affiliation come the election in 2017.


 * Either way I've added a section to the 2012 page showing defections and resignations (in addition to the by-election section) Paulharding150 (talk) 10:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * The list of defections/resignations is handy and well researched/sourced, well done! As for the BBC comparing the numbers of seats in 2017 to the numbers in 2012, well, that is different from counting who lost and who gained seats at the election itself. The election results would normally list the results at the election, rather than comparison with a date 5 years beforehand. Sionk (talk) 20:59, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kim McGuinness


A tag has been placed on Kim McGuinness requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Fair-use images
Hi, this is in reply to your note on my commons user page. You need to be aware of the differences between English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. English Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and Wikimedia Commons is a repository of free-use media. They are both projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, but they are distinct and have different rules.

The important difference here is that Commons only accepts free files, but Wikipedia can in some circumstances accept non-free files. You linked to the picture of John Smith at this URL: You can tell that this file is hosted on Wikipedia because of its en.wikipedia.org domain and the Wikipedia globe logo at the top left of the page. Files hosted on Commons have URLs like this:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:John_Smith_1992.jpg
 * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mandy_Jones_AM_2018.jpg

A confusing feature is that when you click on an image in a Wikipedia article you may initially be shown Wikipedia page on the image, such as this: However, that page contains the text This message is not shown in File:John Smith 1992.jpg.
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mandy_Jones_AM_2018.jpg
 * This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. Information from its description page there is shown below.

To add a non-free image to Wikipedia you should first establish that it meets the Non-free content criteria. Pictures of dead people used to illustrate their Wikipedia articles normally qualify, providing that no free image of the person is available.

To upload an image to Wikipedia you can click on the Upload file link on the left side of any Wikipedia page. Then click on the Upload Wizard link (or you could use one of the alternative links in the 'Wikipedia' column).

You need to include a non-free use rationale. There are instructions for this at Non-free use rationale guideline, but I suspect that most uploaders adapt the rationale from a similar image page. The rationale at File:John Smith 1992.jpg looks ok, or you could adapt one of mine which are listed here.

A separate rationale is required for every place in which the image is shown. While you can often use a non-free picture in the person's biographical article, it is unlikely to be acceptable in other articles. For example, 1992 Labour Party leadership election does not include a picture of John Smith.

Where possible, it may help to crop the image before you upload it and to mention this under "Respect for commercial opportunities". The image should be low resolution, I think the rule of thumb is 100,000 pixels (e.g. 400 x 250), but a bot might reduce high-resolution non-free images automatically.

Feel free to ask me if you need help.
