Deleting redirects

If you want to delete the Pulham family redirect, don't just delete the text. Instead, add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. Since you were the only person to edit this title, you can delete it if you want. If other people have edited a page, you'll need to use one of the other deletion methods. --Russ (talk) 10:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Stub sorting

Hello Rob Kam/Archives/2022,

I noticed you marked an article as a stub using the {{stub}} template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the Wikipedia community because it helps various WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.

You can view the full list of stub types at WP:STUBS.

If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! --BorgQueen (talk) 19:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Convoys Wharf

You've done some good work on Convoys Wharf - well done. I have, however, restored the previous name for the article, as that is what the place is currently known as, and under the WP:Common name policy, we need to be naming articles by the names they are most commonly known by. SilkTork *^YES! 01:34, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. The article is still in need of a bit of work. --Robkam (talk) 11:36, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Blackheath and caves

Just saying thank you for your new article on the cavern under Blackheath. I am too old to go caving/exploring, but it's great to read about it, so I recently started the Bramhope Tunnel page, in response to local interest in it. Thank you for your own good work. Please let me know if you ever manage to add photos to your new page.

I wish someone would do a page on the railway tunnel under the Great Lines between Gillingham and Chatham. When I lived there in the 1950s there was an urban myth, which continues, of a secret branch line from that tunnel, in which is hidden a train-carriage full of goodness knows what. Of course local newspapers have published info that the story has been checked out and dismissed by the authorities, but the tunnel and myth have retained fascination for the locals.--Storye book (talk) 15:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you :-) ... There are some photos and maps at Subterranean Greenwich and Kent's Blackheath Cavern article. I've heard similar about there being a lost train in the old tunnels somewhere around the Crystal Palace. --Robkam (talk) 20:51, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah, thank you - I had missed the link at the bottom of your Blackheath Caverns page. And I'm glad to hear of the tale of the lost train under Crystal Palace. Mint.--Storye book (talk) 23:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Dockyards

Hi Robkam, nice work on correcting and clarifying which dockyards Royal Navy vessels were built at. I don't know my UK geography well enough to recognize an error or contradiction so am glad to see that someone is policing the issue. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :-) ... Identifying the various yards, docks and builders can be tricky but it's around where I live so I should be able to figure it out. It's odd how little trace remains of all that history. --Robkam (talk) 23:23, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

That's why we have Wikipedia. :-), 69.253.70.154 (talk) 00:30, 11 February 2010 (UTC) Sorry, wasn't signed in. Acad Ronin (talk) 00:31, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that :-) I'll try make one of the meetups soon. --Robkam (talk) 17:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Article splits

Hi there. I notice that you created Church Wharf using text taken from Chiswick. Whilst this is a legitimate split there are a number of things you should have done, mainly to preserve the correct attribution under our Terms of Use. If you don't follow the process you are effectively creating a copyright violation. Don't worry, I have sorted out the attribution etc but for future reference what you should have done is:

1. Noted in the edit summary for the creation of Church Wharf that it contained text from Chiswick
2. Added the appropriate template (in this case {{split-to}}) to Talk:Church Wharf. It is also recommended to add {{splitfrom}} to the source article's talk although I have not done so in this case.
3. Removed the bulk of the copied text from Chiswick

Finally, looking at your contributions I was wondering whether you would be interested in joining us at the Thames Wikiproject - you seem to have interests in the right areas...... Kindest regards, Nancy ^talk 15:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Serious copyright issues with articles you have created

Hi. I have just had to remove large parts of Millwall Ironworks and also a sentence from Phoenix Wharf, Millwall as they were cut and paste copyright violations of copyrighted text. The source material for Millwall Ironworks is at http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46519 and for Phoenix Wharf at http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46517 both clearly marked For legal reasons we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or in this case, whole paragraphs/sections.

As you can imagine, Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. Please can you go back through your contributions and remove any text which you know you copied from elsewhere. I will be working through them myself but it will obviously be easier for everyone, and look better for you, if you self-identify the problematic material.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter. Nancy ^talk 16:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Further copyvio removals

• Large sections from King and Queen Dockyard some were close paraphrasing but mainly straight cut and paste from [1] and [2] Nancy ^talk 18:23, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
• All but the opening sentence of Napier Yard, Millwall which had been lifted from http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46519#s5 Nancy ^talk 18:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
• London Yard has been speedy deleted (see below) in entirety as it contained no content at all which had not been lifted from http://londonyard.com/History/LY-History-2.htm and http://londonyard.com/History/LY-History-1.htm Nancy ^talk 18:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
• Significant sections from Greenland South Dockyard which were copied from [3] Nancy ^talk 19:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
• Marmaduke Stalkartt deleted as a cut and paste from the subject's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.[4] Nancy ^talk 10:17, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of London Yard

A tag has been placed on London Yard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Nancy ^talk 18:49, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Your comments at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thames

Hi again.

I have read your comments over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thames. It appears that you have not yet grasped the seriousness of introducing copyrighted material on to Wikipedia. We try to make the position on copyrights very clear, even including a note at the bottom of every edit window stating "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted" as well as an instruction "Please do not copy and paste from copyrighted websites – only public domain resources can be copied without permission." This is not a policy quibble, this is a legal issue.

You complained that "instead of correcting and contributing" to your articles I just "ripped them apart" which again is to misunderstand the seriousness of the problem. There is no "correcting" of copyright violations, the only appropriate action is to remove them, including from the edit history if possible.

Whilst I picked off a few of the obvious ones last night, your contribution history is quite long and the number of copyvios so far is high (six articles already) so I will probably need to file a Contributor copyright investigation request. You should be aware that one of the outcomes of that may be that if you are shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of your major contributions are copyright violations, and they may be removed indiscriminately, in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations.

I will ask you once more to please co-operate and self-identify any other instances where you have copied material from another source either in to articles you have created or as additions to extant ones. I am hoping to be able to work constructively and collaboratively with you to clear up this problem and subsequently to help you find a way to create/contribute to shipbuilding articles without falling foul of copyright law.

Finally, if in future of you have a problem with any of my actions, the appropriate first step would be to raise any concerns with me directly either here in reply to my notes or over at my own talk. Nancy ^talk 06:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

If I knew where all the copyright violations were, I'd not have posted them in the first place. Probably it's everything I've posted in Category:Shipyards on the River Thames. --Robkam (talk) 10:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I've noted it at the CCI request. Hopefully we can get this cleared up quickly and then start recreating the articles in our own words as it would be a shame to lose the topics. I'm no shipbuilding expert but I do have an interest in the Thames and will be happy to help you with the prose if you'd like. Nancy ^talk 11:01, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

I've opened the CCI. Fortunately, I don't see a need for presumptive removals here (such things I reserve for indef blocked users with no active cleanup effort). MER-C 02:53, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

CCI notification

Hello, Rob Kam/Archives/2022. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. For some suggestions on responding, please see Responding to a CCI case. Thank you. --Nancy ^talk 08:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletions

Hi. I have deleted Greenland South Dockyard and Greenland North Dockyard per WP:CSD#G7 as requested. However, there are some links to those deleted articles that have now become redlinks, you may wish to change these links to better targets. Linking articles are HMS Winchester (1698), List of locations in the Port of London, HMS Serapis (1779), HMS Monck (1659) and Karteria. Polargeo (talk) 11:12, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I have also deleted Phoenix Wharf and Phoenix Wharf, Millwall. pages with redirects are SS Archimedes and Henry Wimshurst. Polargeo (talk) 11:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sayes Court

Sayes Court contained considerable copyvio so the copyright clean-up task has clear relevance to it. My request was a logical progression of the conversation as you appeared to be engaged with checking back to sources for SC so I was rather hoping to encourage you to do the same for others. I'm heartened to see that it seems to have worked in a roundabout way although {{db-author}}ing a bunch of article does seem a bit drastic - unless of course they were entirely copyvio, which I don't necessarily think was the case. Nancy ^talk 12:09, 9 April 2010 (UTC)_{In deference to your wishes I am posting here rather than continue on the article talk.}

Articles for deletion nomination of Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Synthesizer electronics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

How to do a split?

See Wikipedia:Splitting. I would start by suggesting it on the article talk page and see whether you get any comments.

Replaceable fair use File:Ben Dekker as Sauerlein, in Sam et Sally, S02E04, La Peau du lion.png

Thanks for uploading File:Ben Dekker as Sauerlein, in Sam et Sally, S02E04, La Peau du lion.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

List of hobby electronics magazines moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of hobby electronics magazines, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Templates translation

Hi!

A few months ago you supported a proposal I wrote at mw:Global templates/Discuss. Thank you very much for that!

An essential part of that big project is now a community wish: m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Translation/Templates translation. I see that you even added a link to it to mw:Global templates, so thanks for that, yoo :)

It would be very nice if you could vote for this wish, and invite your friends to do the same. Every vote counts!

Thanks! :) --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 17:50, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
