Hello, I'm TheImaCow. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Euan Sutherland, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.   TheImaCow (talk) 18:10, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Clipper Logistics plc Logo.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Clipper Logistics plc Logo.jpeg. 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) 02:22, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of Snow and Rock for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Snow and Rock is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Snow and Rock until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  scope_creep Talk  15:14, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

June 2020
Hello PlunketMcShane. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Snow and Rock, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:PlunketMcShane. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.  scope_creep Talk  15:16, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Snow and Rock


A tag has been placed on Snow and Rock, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – User 45  65  41  15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Clipper logistics plc warehouse.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Clipper logistics plc warehouse.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:08, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Britvic
Hi - Thank you for your edits to this article. I note you have moved the citations, which were previously inline, to the bottom of the infobox. I think there is a general preference on wikipedia that citations should be in line (see WP:INCITE). I am seeing increasing tagging of information in infoboxes with "citation needed". Unfortunately the template for infobox company gives no guidance on this: nor does it explain what the "footnotes" parameter is for. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 09:24, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for leaving me a message. The company infobox template states footnotes should be used to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used. Could you give me some further guidance please? Thank you. PlunketMcShane (talk) 09:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi - You are quite right that company infobox template states footnotes should be used "to list citations that validate the data in the infobox" but WP:INCITE seems to suggest a preference for in-line citations. My understanding is that wikipedia guidelines (e.g. WP:CITE) take precedence over notes on a template page. Personally, my preference would be for in-line citations because it would avoid over-zealous editors tagging information in the infobox as "citation needed". Best wishes.

Proposing articles for deletion
Hello, I noticed you are nominating articles for deletion using the proposed deletion process. I'm not sure what you're doing to code the nominations the way you are, but all you need to do is enter reason for deletion and the wiki software will take care of the rest for you. For further information please see WP:PRODNOM. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 17:28, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, can you point out the article in question? I believe I’ve only used WP:PROD once which was deleted by another user? PlunketMcShane (talk) 17:40, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I have found the article in question. Not sure what happened to cause all that code. I’m sure I only use the reason for deletion . I’ll double check in the future. Thanks for the help. PlunketMcShane (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Turners (company) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Turners (company), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
