{{helpme}} I keep seeing tags on the Black Boy Inn page, what else can I do to address this? People just come along and randomly delete my hard efforts! :(

Hi Studdymx,
I see you already discovered the talk page of the article. It is the place to discuss this kind of topics. You can also contact the editor who re-added the tag (look at the history of the article to discover who it is) on their own talk page, because they could have forgotten about the article.
Hope this helps. Calimo (talk) 13:53, 29 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the civil response. On reflection, the article is better than I originally thought it was and I shouldn't have restored the tags. I suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources - most of your sources are independant of the Inn, it would be better if more of them were. Much of this has to do with writing with a neutral point of view. Any business has the temptation to promote itself in its own publications. Even if they do not, readers may suspect them of doing so. If you can find independant sources that agree with what the Inn says about itself, that will make the article better and strengthen the Inn itself as a source. (It's perfectly fine to list multiple sources for the same piece of information.)

I also suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Any opinions expressed about the Inn (postive or negative) should come from independant sources and clearly show they are the opinions of those sources, not you as the editor. The fact that you list and source the controversy about the name is a good way of doing this - it shows you aren't here just to drum up business for the Inn.

Also, I'm going to suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles, which deals with improving and maintaining the quality of articles. I don't recommend directly nominating the Inn as a Good Article, but pick a few project members and ask for their suggestions on how to improve the article.

I'd also suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Good articles, specifically the sections labeled Architecture and Urban and Historical sites. If you can find articles on similar subjects, such as other inns or historical buildings (preferably in or near Wales), then they will provide you examples of how an article should be and possibly help you find other editors who could help improve and source the article.

File source problem with File:Old picture black boy.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Old picture black boy.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File permission problem with File:Bb logo 09 white web sml.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Bb logo 09 white web sml.jpg. 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 17:08, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
