British Film Designers Guild

How about some coverage in books, magazines, or newspapers? That's normally how articles are written here - from secondary sources, not from personal knowledge, which is apparently the case with you. Don't be surprized if someone attempts to delete it later on. - NYC JD (objection, asked and answered!) 13:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion

It's always best to write the article in your word processor first, and then copy and paste - its easier to edit, and avoids deletion by new page patrollers.

You need to make sure that your articles provide independent verifiable sources that the subject meets the notability guidelines, that is you need to list independent websites or other sources that enable readers to verify what you are saying - note the BFDG comment above. Hope this helps, I'll lay off for now, Jimfbleak 15:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Maurice Carter is an example - he is clearly notable, assuming the content is true, but you have not provided any links or sources for what you are saying. Whilst I don't doubt your integrity, you would be surprises how many convincing hoax articles are posted, so it's a necessary chore. Jimfbleak

Andreas Kneller is another new article, by a more experienced editor - have a look for guidance on style for writing biographies. Jimfbleak 15:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

More information needed about File:BFDG Gold.jpg

Hello, Kodystanton!

It was really helpful of you to you to upload File:BFDG Gold.jpg. However, we need to properly format the image license information in order to keep and use new images.

If you can edit the description and add one of these templates, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:05, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
