File copyright problem with File:Eleanor Cobham Engraving.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Eleanor Cobham Engraving.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Armbrust ^{WrestleMania XXVII} _{Undertaker 19–0} 00:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Vera Hockman

I'm delighted that you have raised this issue again after such a long lapse of time. The reply I received, which you will have seen, was plain arrogance and I am not in the business of breaching stone walls single-handed.

I do however have some responses to make to Tim Riley etc and will try and get them together over the next day or two. They will be in the form of quotes from the TV programme - I guess you saw the retransmission over the weekend. I took quite a lot of notes after the previous transmission.

You seem to be in difficulty in regard to Wikipedia procedures and protocols and I may be able to help you on that. Are you completely new? I have been editing for some time but am not very active and have no intention of becoming an expert, but I do know my way around a little bit.

If you want to get back to me, leave a message here on your own talk page.

Regards Flying Stag (talk) 11:27, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. No, I'm not completely new, but yes, I do have some difficulties sometimes - WP can be a tad complicated. I tried to create a new page for Vera, but in the wrong place and now it seems I have contravened some law by trying to move it into user space. Maybe I should just start again.

There does seem to be sourceable material from this TV program and also a book, Elgar in Love, written by Kevin Allen, although I don't have access to this book. I'm sure someone must be able to give a detailed reference.

The documentary is available on IPlayer at the moment if you are in UK.Boatgypsy (talk) 22:50, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Richard Harrison (scientist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Midlands (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Rankersbo (talk) 14:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, just a note to explain this is about the copy that was awaiting review, this is not about the version you placed directly into wikipedia. I declined it because there was already a version of this article in wikipedia, and WP:AfC doesn't play a part in approving stuff that has already made it. Rankersbo (talk) 14:21, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gweirca ferch Owain

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Gweirca ferch Owain requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
