Unspecified source for Image:Stroking_ponys.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Stroking_ponys.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 22:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of YourZone

A tag has been placed on YourZone requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Citius Altius (talk) 18:08, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of YourZone

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article YourZone, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No indication of Notability and a quick search yields no reliable sources to establish it.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of "YourZone"

Hi, i don't quite understand was nyou mean by notability. I am the creator of the service discused and therefore own the copyright and make the content myself, therefore there are no references except for the website added. Thanks, Matt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burgessm (talk • contribs) 14:28, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi matt, As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia we require each of our article's to have a certain amount of "Importance" before we allow its inclusion. In other words: Each article should indicate why the subject is important enough to warrant an inclusion in an encyclopedia.

To establish notability the subject mucht be covered in realiable third party sources, that are independant of the subject. This is what we call the General Notability Guideline, though a more specific versions for websites also excist (Click). Did your website get any non trivial coverage in for example a newspaper or a major news site? Note that there press releases, advertising et all don't count as realiable sources.

Last, since you state you are the owner of the website, keep in mind that you have a conflict of interest with the subject. In other words: You are inherently biases towards a certain viewpoint (In this case, you have a positive bias towards your own site). Keep in mind that wikipedia strongly discourages this as we have a strict neutral point of view policy to which all article's must adhere. Hope this helps, Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 14:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Excirial, Thanks for the advice, i will get to work on this right away and add the sources/references needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burgessm (talk • contribs) 14:46, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Your welcome. However i advice you to use an user Subpage to develop article's in. One of the main issues of editing article's in the article space is that they are constantly patrolled, which makes them prone to removal (As you have already noticed). Subpages allow much more lenience before article's are tagged, and in most cases only pure spam is removed from subpages. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 14:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
