Hi Bbb207,

I notice that your changes to the M2 article have been revoked on grounds that they conflict with WP:MOS. In order to prevent an edit war, I respectfully suggest that before you spend more time making further changes, you and the editor concerned agree what should and should not be done.

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Diva tv.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 17:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bloomberg.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bloomberg.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Fair use rationale for Image:Setanta golf.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Setanta golf.PNG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from List of Zoey 101 episodes. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. NrDg 17:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:4music.gif}

Thank you for uploading Image:4music.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Fair use rationale for Image:Bravo 2.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Bravo 2.PNG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Discovery knowledge.PNG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. monosock 03:58, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why am I getting this message? Mono's delivery method is random, so you probably showed up somewhere Mono went. :)

  1. Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, The Time (The Dirty Bit), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).

I've noticed that you've recently been adding a table with transport links. I understand the thinking behind this - such links, however, are not encouraged per WP:NOTTRAVEL. In most cases the stations were already discussed in context in article. It is helpful to include some encyclopaedic material on transport in a locality - such as the history of the transport, public debate surrounding the transport, points of note about the architecture of transport buildings, etc. But providing purely touristic material such as nearest stations, timetables or fare prices, is not appropriate. Such material would, however, be welcomed at Wikitravel or Wikia travel. SilkTork ✔Tea time 12:08, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TV Transmitters in South Wales

Thanks you for your contributions to several of my pages on TV transmitters in South Wales - all very welcome! I have a challenge for you, since you've put useful location maps on several pages for me. I've just written Llandrindod Wells transmitting station which has a well complex history of having relayed television from Wenvoe and Preseli in the 405-line era, in addition to Carmel which it relayed in the UHF PAL TV days, and currently does for DVB-T.

I used your examples of location maps cribbed from some of the changes you've made recently, but I'm foxed as to how to add the three parent transmitters to the map as they're all a long way off in different regions of Wales. You can see one of my attempts is left commented-out, but if you comment it in, "Preseli" appears but dropped into the mid-Wales map.

If you can think of a solution, please apply it! I don't think it can be done short of declaring a new "Wales South and Mid" template. I think the whole-of-Wales template is too large-scale to be useful. Any ideas please?? Steve Hosgood (talk) 15:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the compliments! I've had the same problem with the odd few transmitter pages as well. I just left the parent transmitter off altogether and keep just that transmitter on the map if it's too far off. I did however enter the relay in the relay section of the infobox. Bbb2007 (talk) 16:14, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Washford transmitting station

Hi, you seem to be knowledgeable/interested in transmitting stations and I wondered if you would be kind enough to take a look at Washford transmitting station - a new article by a new editor, which could use a hand.— Rod talk 22:16, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Working on it now. Bbb2007 (talk) 22:58, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Transmitter site article names

Please note that while the BBC and IBA traditionally called their major sites (among others now owned by Arqiva) 'transmitting stations', this was not normally the case with either the smaller broadcast relays or BT-owned sites. Please don't move any more of these articles without discussion first.--Harumphy (talk) 22:32, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey - enough with the mediaeval measurements please

I appreciate many tidy ups and improvements that you've put into the TV transmitter pages for south Wales, but can I request that you stop "helpfully converting" my perfectly good information about distances from relay transmitters to parent transmitters, altitudes above sea level etc. I will have written these things in metres or kilometres for a reason: British maps are (and have been for years) metric. If I say that (say) St Dogmaels relay is about 1.4 km from the old 405-line mast further up the hill, it's because that's what you get when you stick a ruler on the map, count how many mm apart the two points are and multiply by 25000 (or whatever the map scale is).

I really consider that someone changing my numbers to claim that the distance is 0.87 miles is bl**dy vandalising the article! Likewise sticking a "convert" template around the site-height. All that does is contribute pointless clutter: the contours on the maps are in metres dammit, what's point in knowing what that is in feet or Royal Egyptian cubits? No-one uses feet any more in the UK except the Department of Transport. And they're just idiots.

Please stick to what you've been doing well recently. Don't make perfectly good modern articles look like they date from the 1920's.

Looks like I'm now going to have to go around un-vandalising my numbers <sigh> Steve Hosgood (talk) 14:45, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Purdown

Could you please put the Purdown BT tower back where it was, as well as fixing your earlier page move to Alexandra Palace television station. In future, it would be much more helpful if you suggested these proposed page moves on the talk page first. Quite often these articles are named as they are with good reason, and your shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later approach is a nuisance to other editors who have to clean up your mess after you.--Harumphy (talk) 21:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oi, we cross-moved at the same time

We were both doing the Call My Name move at the same time; I was doing a history swap as the redirect had significant history and we got all tangled. Trying to sort it out now.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:33, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

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

A tag has been placed on St Hilary Transmitting Station requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. sumone10154(talkcontribs) 20:13, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to follow up on this - I'm not sure why you, Bbb2007, got this notice in your userpage, I think I originally created the article. But its name was always a typo (I got the capitalisation wrong). Now that there is a real article called St Hilary transmitting station this old crock can go. Not being an admin, I can't delete it. But I can flag it as a candidate for deletion!
