This is an image which I bought from the personal collection of one of Donald Campbell's team members. I have reduced the size of the image and am happy to share it here. It has not been sourced from the internet, and has not been published elsewhere. It is not a press picture and my understanding on purchase is that the copyright was transfered to me.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:K7 infinity logo.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:K7 infinity logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

File permission problem with File:Bluebird K7.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Bluebird K7.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:35, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Image copyright issues

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors&#32; according to your reverts at Donald Campbell. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. ''C'mon guys, sort this out and stop the revert war. Talk:Donald Campbell awaits.'' Andy Dingley (talk) 20:37, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Andy Dingley. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Donald Campbell without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Why remove the image?

Bluebird-Proteus CN7
I was wanting to add to this article from a 1960s source and noticed you added a large amount of prose relating to salt conditions, engine power, construction, etc in 2010 and "there can be no doubt that CN7 would have set a record well in excess of 450 mph and perhaps close to her design maximum of 500 mph, a speed that no other wheel driven car has approached". What was the basis for these statements, please? Can you add any published reliable-source? The latter particularly seems like opinion, not attributed to any author; was all the material you added from the book mentioned? It is unclear, not being used as a citation? (...John Pearson to chronicle this attempt, with the resultant critically acclaimed book Bluebird and the Dead Lake, published by Collins in 1965). Thanks.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 19:50, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Bluebird K7
Sheppane, I reverted a text addition you made to this article in 2013 because it appears to have introduced copyvio from this account; however, from your user page it appears you may be the author of that text? If you are still reading here, could you clarify the situation? If you are indeed the author and are willing to sign over the text as copyright-free, we can use it, but I believe it would need to be rewritten for tone and to fix some typos. And it should be footnoted to that page, which I assume was its first publication? I've also left a note at the article talk page. Yngvadottir (talk) 14:07, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
