Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to No true Scotsman, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 09:01, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Recent image uploads
Hi, regarding your recent image uploads. Did you actually take the photos yourself? If not, you cannot claim "own work". Also, two of them show the date 6 March 2019, which judging by various clues such as the livery, interior adverts and District line diagram, is clearly false. When were the photos really taken? -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 11:45, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I took all of them. The Rickmansworth one is also on flickr though still marked there as copyright.

That is the uploading date. The photographs were taken 40 years ago. There is no means of putting just the year in the upload box. Yes, it also shows the trains in their original condition before the hopper ventilators were fitted.

In my negative file they are dated 9 January 1980. They were taken for the press run before the trains entered public service. I remember it was a cold day. That would be three weeks before the trains entered public service. I took them as part of a freelance assignment for the Council of Industrial Designs Journal, 'Design'. I took a roll of film so I doubt if the uploaded ones were two or three which were published with my article.

I was not satisfied with the way they have displayed on the page - perhaps the placement can be improved.

If you are doing any other London Underground page curation - I have a series from the press preview of the 1986 BREL International train and another of the 1986 tube stock prototypes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Physiocrat (talk • contribs) 15:30, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * If the negative is dated 9 January 1980, that is the date that you should use. You can edit the file description pages, they are just like normal Wikipedia pages. The date that the photo was actually taken goes in the date parameter of the template; it must be in CCYY-MM-DD format. If the pictures have previously been uploaded to Flickr, the Flickr URL must be put in the source parameter of the same template, and the  template further down must carry the same license that was used on Flickr. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 14:44, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Where is the 'edit file description' facility? I have dug around here and there but cannot find it. I have changed licence on the flickr uploads. I want this material to be available to the public.
 * At the top of this thread I provided links to the three file description pages, pages which you created yourself on commons. Each one has the normal tabs at the top and [edit] links for most sections. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 12:17, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Done the date corrections.
 * I can't quite work out how to do the flickr corrections.

 * OK, these edits have added the Flickr information. It's always best to replicate (as far as possible) the information given on the other website, that way you won't be accused of copyright violation. The Flickr license is CC-0 which shouldn't really be replaced with the stricter CC BY-SA so I put that back too. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 18:22, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

 * is a template provided at Commons. It does basically the same thing as another Commons template,, which I mentioned earlier; but with a few differences to make it more suitable for Flickr photos. When uploading, you may have used the upload wizard (which never works properly for me), but if you did, you should have been presented with a button like . -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 10:21, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
