Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Articles for creation! We are a group of editors who work together on the Articles for creation and Files for upload pages.

A few tips that you might find helpful:

  • Please take time to fully read the reviewers' instructions before reviewing submissions.
  • The reviewers' talk page is the best place to ask for help or advice. You might like to watchlist this page, and you are encouraged to take part in any discussion that comes up.
  • Article submissions that need reviewing can be found in Category:Pending AfC submissions and there is also a useful list which is maintained by a bot.
  • You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. There is also a project userbox. If you haven't done so already, please consider adding your name to the list of participants.
  • Several of our members monitor the #wikipedia-en-help connect IRC channel, and you are welcome to join in to ask Wikipedia-related questions.
  • The IRC channel #wikipedia-en-afc connect is used occasionally for internal discussion regarding the Articles for Creation process, and also serves as a recent changes feed, displaying all edits made in the Articles for Creation namespace.
  • The help desk is the place where new editors can ask questions about their submissions. You are welcome to help in answering their questions.

Once again, welcome to the project. J73364 (talk) 00:36, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:03, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. An edit that you recently made to Tin seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Materialscientist (talk) 00:02, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi edit

Thanks for helping. A few notes. The image you were adding to the diamond article is a copyright violation (you've photographed work of someone else). The geology stuff you're adding to Lakes of Biggar is nonsense. Please read more about dating. Materialscientist (talk) 00:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  stop and read a couple of books about geology, would you. Materialscientist (talk) 00:47, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is quite possible that Castlewood, Coopers, and Springwater lakes ar all based on Great Deer Lake, but the way you present this information in the Biggar Lakes article is utterly inadequate. Materialscientist (talk) 00:52, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Removing {{AfC submission}} tag edit

While reviewing articles for creation, please ensure that you do not remove the {{AfC submission}} tag until the submission gets approved, as you did at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Douglas Johnson-Poensgen. Also, the {{photo requested}} tag is only supposed to be used on the talk page of an existent article – that is, an article in the mainspace. Happy editing.

February 2014 edit

  This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at User talk:Materialscientist, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Mr Fink (talk) 01:32, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

What are you doing here? --NeilN talk to me 01:37, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Castlewood Lake.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Castlewood Lake.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

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.

File permission problem with File:Biggar roundhouse.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Biggar roundhouse.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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:15, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Copyright problem: Biggar Roundhouse edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Biggar Roundhouse, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy.

March 2017 edit

  Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Garfield (character).

Image without license edit

Unspecified source/license for File:Calgary Transit 2002-a.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Calgary Transit 2002-a.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 05:45, 9 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
