Many thanks for your help - I've noted the comments and will attempt to rectify any problems and clarify things... articles are a good idea as a source!

I will try to solve these issues over the weekend...

Helpme request
I need help improving my page - Mean Machine Sailing Team - can't work out how to do referencing - it's all from our website - and it's fact.... not sure how to imporve page!! If anyone has any ideas, that would be great! Thanks.xxa
 * Hello, and welcome. First, I'd like to let you know about the conflict of interest guideline, which states that you should not create or edit articles about yourself, your company, your family, friends, etc., as you'd likely be unable to do so neutrally. Neutrality is one of the core policies of Wikipedia. I would suggest that you make notes on the talk page, and allow a non-involved editor make the changes. Second, your team's site is not a reliable source so cannot be used as a reference, you'll need to find neutral, third-party sources (such as news articles, magazine articles, trade/professional journal articles, etc.,) to cite for the references. Second, it appears another editor has expressed concern that the article may not satisfy the notability requirements, so it would help if you could discuss the issue on the article's talk page to allow others to edit it to establish notability. Hope this helps, cheers, Ariel  ♥  Gold  01:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Peter_de_Ridder_Mean_Machine_Valle_Romano1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Peter_de_Ridder_Mean_Machine_Valle_Romano1.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 00:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Mean Machine 2007.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Mean Machine 2007.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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 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.

 * Greetings Mmalice, I just noticed that this picture is supposed to come from your website, but have already proposed the image for deletion in view of the fact that the photographer claims copyright over the image at the same time as it is identified as "not in copyright". The new resolution is good, but it would need a change of license. Please also note that images which are not in copyright are preferred (simply because we can use a higher resolution) and this image should be replaced as soon as a copyright-free image is available.Nuttyrave (talk) 13:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
