Image Tagging Image:Bathcity.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bathcity.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. Dethomas 17:11, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pennnsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

Hello! You tagged this page as a speedy delete due to there being no content. Another user has restored the content to the page, so I no longer think that it merits the speedy tag. I will take it off of the list on the speedy deletes page. Regards, (aeropagitica) 15:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Twerton.gif

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Twerton.gif. 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 there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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.

Tawkerbot warning

What happened is you're likely using an ISP that pools ISP's (and gives out a random one to each user when they request it) - it's likely that you just recieved one of those shared ip's. Nothing to worry about :) -- Tawker 17:07, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Serfe

A tag has been placed on Serfe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 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 page (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. TerriersFan (talk) 23:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your vote at WP:MPRP

I have merged my proposal into RyanCross's, because his entry and my entry are quite similar to each other. Perhaps you should change your vote? :) Xenus (talk) 17:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New College Worcester

Hi Maniacgeorge! An article you have been involved with has been tagged by its parent project as needing a little attention, updating, or further development. If you can help with these minor issues please see talk:New College Worcester

Proposed deletion of Kyle Bassett

The article Kyle Bassett has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Never played at a professional level, as required by WP:NSPORT

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
