Not too sure where I answer this...... The only part from my website that I wrote was the School Poem which was generally known in the school...it would have appeared in the school many times and in school magazines.... Eric Davies

License tagging for Image:General Sir Geoffrey Bourne.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:General Sir Geoffrey Bourne.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


Speedy deletion of Lit.org

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Lit.org 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 web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 web content.

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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. cycle~ ] (talk), 04:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Lit.org. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Cycle~ (talk) 02:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Bourne School Malaya

edit

Unfortunately, saying that the school did exist doesn't prove it to the rest of the world. How do we know you are not lying? I can make an article saying I am the king of Atlantis but unless I provide a reference (magazine, article, newspaper, external website, video, documentary film, etc. etc.) no one will believe me. If you can find a source (a government record perhaps in Malaysian would be great!) to establish notability of the old school, then that would be better. Also what is the army base called now? Is there an article for that? Please read WP:NOTABILITY and WP:REFERENCES. Also, you may try asking for help over at WP:Malaysia and someone maybe can help you with the article. Thank you.Calaka (talk) 06:02, 6 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bourne School (Kuala Lumpur) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bourneschoolkualalumper.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Slim School

edit
 

The article Slim School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, fails WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:BourneScoolKL.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:BourneScoolKL.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:08, 3 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Barek. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Loretta Lynn, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 00:57, 11 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Loretta Lynn, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 01:22, 11 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
