Your micronation
editHello, I am sure you think it would be great to have your new micronation described on Wikipedia, but until it is described by external reliable sources, it would be a violation of our no original research policy to include it here. You might also want to read the Wikipedia is not for things made up one day essay. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 20:50, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

The Democratic Enviormental Society of Senya
editHello Barnaby,
Sorry that your first article on here managed to get the swift deletion put on it so swiftly. I hope that you don't let it put you off and that you decide to stay and edit and start other articles. Your graphics are also fantastic.
I have an idea as to how you can get your micronation up and running. How about using a free website like Wordpress or Blogger. You can transfer all your information over to there about The Democratic Enviormental Society of Senya. Both Blogger and Wordpress both index really well in Google. Once it has taken off on there, you will have plenty of references and sources in order to reference Wikipedia. You might find that other websites will reference you, which all adds to the references you can use.
Have a look at the micronations around the world get noticed and try and follow their ideas. Who know's it could be the next big thing.
Let me know how you get on! I have objected to the removal of your article as I think you should get a chance.

License tagging for File:FADESS.png
edit
Thanks for uploading File:FADESS.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:07, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Template:2011 Armenian Premier League teamlist has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. Mhiji (talk) 17:46, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Organisation of Active Micronations
edit
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
A tag has been placed on Organisation of Active Micronations requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 10:40, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- The reason why your article has been deleted is the same as the reason why articles about newly-invented micronations are routinely deleted - it doesn't meet Wikipedia's requirement of notability, which requires showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is not, do we think this is important? but, have other people, independent of the subject, thought it interesting and significant enough to write about? That means that anything newly-set-up, whether a band or a micronation or an organization like yours, will not qualify; but it's not an encyclopedia's business to help publicise new and up-and-coming things, we only report on what is already established. The guideline Wikipedia is not for things made up one day, though written mainly for people who have invented a new religion or drinking game, is actually quite relevant here, too. This is summed up at WP:42, and there is good general advice about writing acceptable articles at WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Image tagging for File:Cup2sanboximage.png
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Cup2sanboximage.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:TraffordParkWroxhamFC11Aug2018.jpg
edit
You uploaded or restored , File:TraffordParkWroxhamFC11Aug2018.jpg, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or mark the file as {{own}} work. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.
If it's entirely your own work:
please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers.
Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
It's okay to remove or strike messages like this once the concerns have been addressed. :). 10:08, 16 September 2018 (UTC)ShakespeareFan00 (talk)
