George Coppard[edit]

Great work on his bio! Maustrauser 13:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, glad you like it. I read his book and thought that this was a man who needed to be remembered. Couldn't think of a better way to do it than stick it on here -- Sumo664 16:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right too. I don't know your view of football but it irritates me that if I hit random article on WP I am more likely to get the bio of a footballer or baseball player than anyone else! I am gradually entering many biographies of people I have on my bookshelves. Cheers, Henry Maustrauser 08:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that what you call football I'd call American football and what I describe as football you'd call soccer! Wasn't it George Bernard Shaw who described us as two nations divided by a common language. Despite this both our versions of football share the same disease which is highly paid non-entities. Like you, I prefer to remember people who actually achieved something of note ... -- Sumo664 12:27, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We speak with one voice, although I am Australian rather than American. I call it American football too. Real football is Aussie Rules or Rugby. But what the hell, it's OK to watch but not for writing about on Wikipedia. Can you imagine it being of interest in 200 years who played whom? Have a good one.

File permission problem with File:Geoff Barkway small.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Geoff Barkway small.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 11:06, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:N3N011.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:N3N011.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:53, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
