Harry Earle

Hi Andylanglais, and welcome to Wikipedia! Many thanks for expanding the Harry Earle article. Could you add your reference please? You can find instructions for doing this at WP:CITE, or I'm happy to help. Information that is added that isn't referenced is liable to be removed, especially where it conflicts with other sources, so it is important that you do this. Thanks again for your work.

Hi again. I've had another look at the text that has been added and this is the same as the text in the ref. Wikipedia's copyright policies don't allow this kind of copying. As Wikipedia editors, sources such as these are what allows us to get this kind of information out into the public domain, but we can only take the facts, not the text itself. It looks like a great resource, so it'd be really good if we could use the information, but we can't lift text wholesale off of other websites (unless, of course, we have permission to do so, and there are processes for that).

Could you please make sure there is no infringing text added, either by:

• Removing currently infringing text
• Rewording in such as a way so as to be no longer infringing
• Obtaining/confirming permission from the current copyright holder.

I'll follow up later and please be aware that I may have to remove any suspected infringing text I see.

I've gone through the article and reworded it. That should be enough to preclude any copyright issues. I notice that the text is actually published in "Colm Kerrigan (2005). Teachers and Football: Schoolboy Association Football in England, 1885-1915. Psychology Press. pp. 120–. ISBN 978-0-7130-0243-0.". There are some pages omitted on Google Books so I'll track down a hard-copy and might cite that instead. There are a couple of bits in the article which aren't referenced by your source. I have tagged them, so please add your references for those. Finally, I'm not sure the licensing is right on the image. Unless Clapton FC have themselves released this under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International licence, then the license declaration should be for fair use. Please see the image use policy for details. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 23:32, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

As you have not responded or taken any action, I have tagged the image for deletion. As stated above, I believe the image is usable under a fair use rationale. However, images that are uploaded to Commons must be genuinely free to use. If you cannot evidence that this is the case, the file will be deleted in seven days. The file will need then to be uploaded to Wikipedia (rather than Commons), and a suitable tag used. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 21:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
