Welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Nigel fox


A tag has been placed on Nigel fox 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.

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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

November 2010
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 03:40, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Nigel Fox 2010.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Nigel Fox 2010.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 created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 04:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

"Highway of Tears murdered and missing"
It is true many of the victims are missing; but the moved title was awkward, left conciseness and felt grammatically incomplete- missing and murdered what? That, and it was a unilateral move of an important article, and not uncontroversial. I'd suggest going to Requested moves- and if you're serious about this, I'd suggest either proposing Highway of Tears cases or just plain Highway of Tears at Requested moves.

Image source problem with File:Hogsback to Highway Map.png
Thank you for uploading File:Hogsback to Highway Map.png.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the 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 17:19, 10 January 2019 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ron h jones (Talk) 17:19, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I am new to this. I attempted to properly attribute and add license. I put this in the photo metadata. It still got removed. Can you please help? Nfox24 (talk) 20:35, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Maps are always an issue. There are not that many free maps around (naturally, people want to sell them!). Your link was http://www.sitesandtrailsbc.ca/resources/REC1108/sitemaps/03_2018_Ortho_Rec_Hogsback%20REC1108.pdf - at the bottom of that PDF page is a link back to http://www.sitesandtrailsbc.ca/search/search-location-summary.aspx?districtCode=RDVA, and at the bottom of that page is a "Copyright" link to https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/home/copyright. and that says "All rights reserved" - which is not a license we can use. Ron h jones (Talk) 20:42, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. I will make the changes. In the meantime, I am using derivative works from OpenStreetView. The usage criteria for OSV I believe is that I am free to use, I just have to properly attribute OSV. Can you please weigh in on this? N i g e l F o x 20:48, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

I am using OpenStreetView to create maps for this. I attempted to create proper license/attribution. Can you please show me an example of an image page with the correct license/attribution for OSV derivative works?

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Thank you for your kind words. I am just learning to work within Wikipedia/Media and it's exciting. One area that I am still struggling with though, is proper attribution and licensing for maps and missing persons photos. There's a lot of (overly) zealous wiki editors out and I have been struggling to keep ahead of unprompted deletions and copyright violation flags for files that I believe are free use exemptions or properly attributed even though they get flagged. Still trying to get this working.

Copyright problem on Highway of Tears
Content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/ada-elaine-brown. Copying text directly from a source is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Content you add to Wikipedia should be written in your own words. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:59, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Picture keeps getting deleted even though attribution given
, what is the exact reason that https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Highway_of_Tears_Corridor.png gets deleted? It takes effort to attempt to properly attribute this that I have to redo each time without an accurate explanation. The history log at Highway of Tears says that it fails the license review, but this is in error because there are similar images in wiki commons that are allowed to stay. Here is a similar page using a photo derived using the exact same mapping site OpenStreetMap, and the attribution/license that they use is the same one that I used for the image that was deleted in error: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OpenStreetMap_homepage_2018_en.png

Can you please weigh in?

Orphaned non-free image File:Immaculate Basil.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Immaculate Basil.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:35, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
 * Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

More information is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:19, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Nigel Fox 2010.jpg


The file File:Nigel Fox 2010.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Uploaded for Nigel fox. No other use."
