Cornish Rebellion of 1497 edit

Hi, Nothing was wrong with the common after Blackheath - if you look at the history log it is actually anonymous user 81.86.134.136 who removed the word from the last version that I had saved. Mammal4 13:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

PS: Its generally good wiki practice to sign off your comments so poeple know who said what. You can do this automatically by typing ~~~~ which also dates the entry. :)


Sorry I'm still getting used to how all this works :P It just caught my eye and I'm still not used to the layout. I might stick common back on the end as Blackheath is a village and Blackheath common is part of it...I doubt they met up 'on' the village :D would have been a sight to see, all those men on rooftops...lol Fooboo 14:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've droppped a welcome pack on this page above, which has useful links and info - hope this helps you get settled in. Take care Mammal4 15:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:J2me.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:J2me.png. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Durin 17:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

When I uploaded the image I gave the information that I created the image. Fooboo 17:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Saying you created it is insufficient. You have not indicated what the license status is. Are you releasing it under GFDL? If so, then add {{gfdl-self}}. Are you releasing it under public domain? If so, then add {{pd-self}}. Unlicensed images are not acceptable at wikipedia, and an unlicense image will be removed. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. --Durin 18:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Arch.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Arch.png. 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. 18:07, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:William Lai with Chu Shong Tin.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:William Lai with Chu Shong Tin.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 23:09, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Sifu William Lai edit

 

The article Sifu William Lai has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable martial arts teacher - does not meet WP:GNG or WP:MANOTE

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
