Glenn Howells

I agree Glenn Howells most certainly should not be speedied. To help make him stick, add a couple of external links from third party sources which review his work. A picture would also help, if you nick one off his web site it will probably be OK providing you acknowledge its source and tag it {{Non-free fair use in|Glenn Howells}}.

You say it keeps on being deleted. I see it tagged for deletion once and deleted never. What other titles did you use? Deletion of stubs being created by sensible users is a problem we will never solve. To avoid it, create any new artcle in user:getafix/sandbox and copy it to the permanent title as soon as it has established the importance of its subject. -- RHaworth 22:07, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

move

You do not plaintively ask to change Timber wharf to Timber Wharf - you do it yourself using a move operation! -- RHaworth 22:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:IMGP0463.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:IMGP0463.JPG. 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. Shyam ^(T/C) 12:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Ian Ritchie Architects, 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 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. —Pilotguy (ptt) 21:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Your new articles

Hi, I have restored Ian Ritchie Architects and tidied the article up and tried to better assert the practices notability. Can you try to format the articles more like existing architecture articles and use wiki markup, the links at the top of this page will lead to some tutorials on this. Also ensure all articles meet the relevant notability criteria, thanks/wangi 14:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Sergison Bates

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sergison Bates, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.bouncybuildings.com/sba.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites 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.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sergison Bates

A tag has been placed on Sergison Bates requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Julesn84 (talk) 15:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

KEFW Old Edwardians

Do you have a source for the Old Edwardians you added to the list? Alex Holowczak (talk) 13:05, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, well presumably, you put them there in the knowledge that they had infact gone to KEFW. Where did you get that knowledge from? Alex Holowczak (talk) 09:44, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Image licensing

Hey there...

I am going through a number of images that have some minor licensing issues. I came across Image:IMGP0463.JPG which you uploaded. The licensing on this image is not complete as it was uploaded many years ago. I wonder if you could follow the link to the image page and correct the licensing with a GFDL license (or other free license). If you have any questions or issues, please drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 21:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
