License tagging for File:Richmond Athletic FC Logo.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Richmond Athletic FC Logo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:05, 4 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Jordan Yong (footballer)

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jordan Yong (footballer), and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.ex-canaries.co.uk/players/yong.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jordan Yong (footballer)

edit
 

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 Jordan Yong (footballer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Notability of footballers

edit

Hi "Glym", I notice you have created a few pages of football players recently, and that at least one of them is currently nominated for deletion. It is likely that others such as Joe Green (footballer) and Kori Davis will also be nominated for deletion in due course as they do not appear to meet notability criteria as set out at Wikipedia:NSPORTS#Association_football. Please don't get discouraged by this, but rather look for areas where you can contribute, such as you have done with Richmond Athletic FC (whihc could do with some 3rd party reliable source BTW).--ClubOranjeT 10:35, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

The article Joe Green (footballer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Edit summaries.

edit

Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Edit summaries are particularly encouraged when you delete a PROD tag so other editors can understand your objection to deletion and may look for ways to save the article rather than continue the deletion process.--ClubOranjeT 06:32, 6 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Will you please stop adding non-notable players names to the list of notable players of the Richmond Athletic F.C. article? The names you have repeatedly added do not pass the necessary standards of notability for Wikipedia, and so should not be on that list. If you continue to re-add names which have been removed from the list, it will become clear that you are engaged in disruptive editing, and you put yourself in severe jeopardy of being blocked from editing.

Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.

Glym, if you persist in trying to add in the same information again and again, when it has been explained to you why it does not belong in the article, there will be no option but to block you again - for longer this time. I'd rather not do that - much of the information you added to the Richmond Athletic article was useful. But repeatedly going against the guidelines in this way when you have been repeatedly asked not to is extremely disruptive. Either provide evidence that the players are notable - as has been requested by ClubOranje above, or stop adding them. Please! Grutness...wha? 10:35, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
What part of "Don't" do you fail to understand? This is your last warning. if you continue to reinsert that information you will be blocked again, and the block will have to be for longer this time. Please stop! Grutness...wha? 23:34, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Second block

edit

Glym - you really need to understand what Wikipedia is, and how it works. There are guidelines and policies in place to stop people from adding information which is non-noteworthy or unverified. Wikipedia works by consensus, and the consensus that has built up over the years has created these guidelines and policies as best practice for creating a workable, effective, and reliable online encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a community, and - as with all communities - its guiding principles need to be adhered to. One of those principles is that editors are expected to try to reach some form of consensus when there is a disagreement over an article. Consensus includes being guided by the community's principles, and engaging (or attempting to engage) in dialogue with other editors where there is a disagreement over article content. At least two editors have repeatedly tried to engage with you over repeated edits which you have made which go against the general notability guidelines for Wikipedia's articles. When warned about this behaviour, you have made no comment, but have simply persisted with your edits. Over the last eight days you have repeatedly added in information to the Richmond Athletic F.C. article on almost a dozen occasions, despite being repeatedly told that such material is not appropriate for the article in question. You have also attempted to disrupt the process of three Articles for deletion discussions by removing templated messages from the tops of the articles. You have been blocked once, and as soon as the block was lifted you returned to the same article and again began edit-warring. This is one of the most notable characteristics of a problem editor. You leave me no alternative but to block you again, for a longer period this time. Be warned that continuing to disrupt Wikipedia in this way after the current block is lifted will only lead to longer - and possibly permanent - blocking.

A reponse, via email

edit

I received the following response from you via email: I really wish you would stop editing our wiki page and blocking me in the process, I really can't see why you keep editing it, I am sure you would not like it if I was to block you!

It is not "your" wiki page. It is Wikipedia's - see WP:OWN. As such, anyone may edit it, and all editors of it - yourself included - must abide by Wikipedia's rules. By "our", I take it you mean that you are writing this on behalf of the football club. That is strongly discouraged by Wikipedia's rules and policies -check WP:COI and WP:NOT, especially the sections on webspace providers and directories. If you want your own page, giving your own information about your own organisation, then get your own website. If you wish to edit the article here, you must officially declare your interest (i.e., make it clear on the article's talk page that you are connected with the club), and you must abide by Wikipedia's guidelines - as have been repeatedly explained to you by both ClubOranje and myself. It is your repeated refusal to understand these rules which have led to the necessity of blocking you.

I would strongly suggest that you read and follow the suggestions laid out in the essay Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. It is clear from the initial article which you made that you have the ability to help Wikipedia, and it would be sad to see an editor who can contribute well when they want to permanently blocked. Yet that is the way you are currently heading. If you follow the standard practices of good wikipedia editing and learn the way Wikipedia operates as a community, hopefully you will make more constructive edits.

Speedy deletion nomination of FC Nelson

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 FC Nelson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:FC Nelson.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

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 also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 19:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Glym,

In November you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:

  2. If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
  3. What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?

Please consider improving the article 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.
