Notability of Julian T. Jackson

edit

A tag has been placed on Julian T. Jackson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. BlackBear 15:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply


Your edit to Norma Kitson

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Norma Kitson. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://news.independent.co.uk/people/obituaries/article180040.ece in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Norma Kitson with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Norma Kitson with a link to the details.

It is also important that the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and that it follows Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Norma Kitson/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Norma Kitson saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Your original contributions are welcome.

Hi - The {{OR}} tag was, perhaps, too hasty. However, the article still contains many sections that draw conclusions from the available facts, which is unencyclopaedic. As you appear to be vested in the article, I'm more than happy to give you time to whittle it down yourself. The same would go for Roderick Kedward, and your other lengthier (albeit thorough) contributions. - Tiswas(t/c) 14:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've reverted your recent blanking - this is considered vandalism, even if the blanking is committed by the original contributor. Rather than a perfunctory deletion of all that you have written, why not engage in an informed defense of your edits. - Tiswas(t/c) 15:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia articles are created under the GPL. As such, by creating an article, you are effectively permitting its irrevocable and perpetual use on this, and other, sites. Although IANAL. It would be nice if you would reconsider your position - Tiswas(t/c) 15:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Albert Ernest Kitson. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Unreferenced BLPs

edit

  Hello Falconhurst1967! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 687 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

  1. Roderick "Rod" Kedward (historian) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
