Reliable sources
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I have read your article BT Riverside Tower. I see that in it you gave a reference to another Wikipedia article. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source, so references to it are not acceptable. The reason for this is that anyone can edit Wikipedia, which means that anyone can put unreliable information here, and unfortunately people often do just that. For the same reason most blogs, internet forums, etc are not regarded as reliable. To new users it often seems surprising that Wikipedia does not trust itself as a source, but it makes sense. I don't know whether you have looked at the guideline on reliable sources, but you may find it helpful. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:07, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Country codes on dab pages
Please don't make edits like this one. The entry for a country by country code on the code's disambiguation page should (a) link to the country, (b) have only one blue link, and (c) have no graphics. See WP:MOSDAB. -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:10, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

UEFA 2012 qualifying attendance figures
I've noticed that you are regularly updating attendance figures for UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying group matches. I was just wondering what source you're using for these numbers. I can always find attendance figures from match reports at sites like Sky Sports or ESPN, but for some reason I can never find them on UEFA's website. If your source is from UEFA could you point me in the right direction?Music+mas 22:31, 8 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Music+mas (talk • contribs)

Fair use rationale for File:Opera_Centre.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Opera_Centre.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Closedmouth (talk) 09:53, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

List of best-selling music artists
I personally don't mind having country flags, but I'd like to notify you that numerous administrators including John do not approve of the flags for music related articles. That said, we once used to have the country flags for only a few artists at the List of best-selling music artists, which were removed by John, see this edit of his.--Harout72 (talk) 00:26, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Oh ok sorry I didn't know that you weren't allowed place flags but I just thought it would improve the aesthetics of the page as it is very monochrome at the moment. Dont worry though I wont change it again, thanks for telling me though. ShaneMc2010 00:31, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Eurovision: Recent changes
Hello,

Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:


 * Template names have now been modernised and/or megred into super-templates, for example Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest has now been merged into Template:Eurovision Song Contest making it even easier to find everything under one template. If you are planning to create a new template, please keep the standardised titles in mind.  Other templates have been modernised and a full list of them can be found here.
 * The Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest articles have now been standardised to keep a consitancy throughout the project and to the genral reader too. Skeleton article drafts can be found for Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year.

Replaceable fair use File:Edmond Point Kilkee.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Edmond Point Kilkee.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:03, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Maritime disasters
Hi, Shane. Do you have a reference you can add for the addition you made to List of maritime disasters ? Most of that page is unreferenced so I think encouraging references for new entries is a worthwhile start. Dricherby (talk) 10:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
