Mosely photos

edit

Hi. Thanks for illustrating the article on Moseley, but did you read the guidelines on the upload page when you contributed the images? You need to provide detailed information on source and licensing if you want these photos kept. If you took them yourself you can release them under the GFDL (the same licence as is used for all of Wikipedia's text), another free license if you find it more suitable, or release them to the public domain. Please read Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Image use policy, and then choose an appropriate tag from Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, otherwise they'll end up being deleted eventually. If they are copyright violations just say so and they can be removed quickly and without causing people unnecessary work. Thanks. — Trilobite (Talk) 13:15, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Anglo-Zanzibar War

I love little bits of trivia, and so I especially loved this article! I recommended it for presentation on that main page in the Did you know? section. – ClockworkSoul 04:01, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Image source/licensing for Image:Bog6.jpg

edit
The image you uploaded, Image:Bog6.jpg, has no source information. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Unless the copyright status is provided, the image will be marked for deletion on 24 October 2005.

Image Tagging Image:Enlargement Of The European Union.gif

edit
 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Enlargement Of The European Union.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Gazzapedia, I am really sorry for being deletion of the image. Please try to source and tag well other images while uploading. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 14:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Neutrality

edit

Hi. Thanks for your recent additions about the Wysing Arts Centre. However, please avoid adding non-neutral opinions to the factual content. Saying things like "the leading research centre" is what we call peacocking, i.e. it talks up the subject without actually conveying anything factual. Leading in what way? I realise you've cited the statement, but as this is being said by an organisation promoting the centre, it's not exactly a neutral opinion, and opinion is all that it appears to be. The cited source doesn't explain what makes it "leading" either. I also removed where you wrote "internationally regarded". These are weasel words. i.e. they are unattributed opinion being presented as fact. Internationally regarded by who?

The best way to establish the centre is "leading" is to demonstrate how and why, rather than just saying it. If a gallery is held in high esteem internationally, the best was to show this is to include reviews from international sources, or to cite an authoritative or reliable source that actually says this. Thanks. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 23:39, 3 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Flat Time House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Latham. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
