License tagging for Image:Lennox Head 2.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Lennox Head 2.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:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

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. 05:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Allan Moffat
Is it wikipedia standard to not update nationality? Do we refer to drivers as being Rhodesian or East German or Yugoslav? Is Tomas Mezera Czechoslovakian? Is George Fury Hungarian? Is David Brabham British? Is Chris Alajajian Lebanese? Is Mario Andretti Italian? I ask for clarification, because that's a lot of changes.

What exactly is Australian and what is not? --Falcadore (talk) 11:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Warnester here -- Firstly, I didnt make "alot" of changes, I made the same change four times. And that change was only to add a Canadian flag next to Moffat's name for the 4 times he was the winner of the Bathurst 1000. It is a well known fact that Moffat was born in Canada and moved to Australia to pursue his (very successful) racing career. Moffat only became an Australian citizen in 2004 (again a well known fact that wikipedia acknowledges in the article about him).

Think about it - if Carl Lewis moved to Sydney and takes up citizenship - does it change that he won numerous gold medals for the US at the Olympics? Do they suddently become "gold for Australia?" - of course not.

At the end of the day, if wikipedia is going to go to the trouble of having national flags next to the winning drivers names to represent their nationality - then at least get it right. Moffat raced as a Canadian citizen - a simple, and completely unrefutable fact -- W


 * Didn't say you'd made a lot of changes, you've completely misunderstood my question. I was asking for clarification of other drivers, because changing all of them, as well as making further Moffat changes would be a large shedload of changes. Since you seemed to have knowledge of where the dividing line should be drawn I thought I'd ask you about the others. Russell Ingall too come to mention it. And Peter Janson. Chris Lambden is another, he's a complete mystery between three countries. John Faulkner as well. Did you think I was attacking you? --Falcadore (talk) 14:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Wasn't ignoring you. Life got busy.

Spam in University of New England Postgraduate Association
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on University of New England Postgraduate Association, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because University of New England Postgraduate Association is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting University of New England Postgraduate Association, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Proposed deletion of Rolex Datejust


The article Rolex Datejust has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No independent references, essentially one-line stub, no apparent way to grow the article beyond that. Nothing worth merging back into parent article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:56, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Warnester here, life is kind of busy at the moment - so what I have done is edited the Ballina Bears page to remove references to all those files that you're worried I don't have permission for. I've already spoken to my brother and if need be I will get written evidence from him. But - in saying that - the Ballina District Cricket Association records were all created from newspaper The Northern Star reports - ergo they're public anyway - I shouldn't need permission to post something that is already in the public domain. So for now I've removed the references. But I will get the permission (as required) and / or change the setting to make the newspaper reports public. Ta

Ballina Seahorses moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ballina Seahorses, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Far North Coast Baseball Association


A tag has been placed on Far North Coast Baseball Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.visitlismore.com.au/list-of-sports/baseball/p/472. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. JamesG5 (talk) 01:55, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Please note, I saw that you cited the page at the bottom, but simply including a cite doesn't allow you to use that much text. JamesG5 (talk) 01:55, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
