File permission problem with File:Lostoppos.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Lostoppos.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 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 Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 04:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Spamming
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:48, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Formby
Please don't add the Find a Grave link to the bottom: it's a terrible site, full of errors (although not about Formby), and generally classed as not reliable. Thanks - SchroCat (talk) 13:38, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Who are you? And why have you removed my perfectly good memorial link to George Formby?


 * I ma another editor - one of those who wrote the Formby page and took it to Featured article status. Find a Grave is classed as an unreliable site: see WP:FINDAGRAVE-EL. - SchroCat (talk) 14:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
