License tagging for Image:Prospect Oval Plans.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Prospect Oval Plans.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 14:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Editing of wikilinks
Hi mate.

I see you have been doing some editing to the SANFL article. I have undone your edit to Elizabeth Oval, and I wanted to give you an explanation why I did so and hopefully explain how to make your editing more effective.

Your edits are quite often linking to the "wrong" pages. For example you most recent edits changed Hamra Homes Oval to Hamra Homes Oval. That produces this in the article: Hamra Homes Oval .. a red link means that there is no article at the page shown. The first part inside the link is the actual article name and the second part (after the pipe) is what people see. If you had wanted to link to the page Hamra Homes Oval but show Elizabeth Oval then you need to write the link this way: Elizabeth Oval, which results in this link: Elizabeth Oval.

Second point I wanted to make is that the official name of the Oval is actually Hamra Homes Oval. It is the agreed policy on Wikipedia to use the official name. In the same way Norwood, Richmond and Glenelg ovals are all shown by their new names, as is Football Park. The actual articles usually mention the traditional name of the oval concerned.

Third and final point is that when you change a link it is recommended that you test that it links to the page that you intended. Preferably it should go directly to the page and not be redirected in order to get there. For example you changed one link from North Adelaide to  North Adelaide. At present the North Adelaide article is located at the page titled North Adelaide Roosters, so your change actually links to a page that just redirects people's browsers to the correct page for the article. My link to SANFL at top of these comments is an example of a redirect - if you click on it you will see it gets to the SANFL article but it shows (Redirected from SANFL) at the top of the article. As people don't see what is in the link, your edit on this occasion has not really improved the link. The same can be said for the Port Adelaide Magpies link that you changed. As they only result in redirects and eventually end up at the correct page I have not undone them.

If you wanted to respond/ ask anything of me feel free to write it either here or in my discussion page: User talk:Pudgey.
