Speedy deletion of Cbrd edit

 

A tag has been placed on Cbrd 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 web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Parent5446 (t n c k e l) 18:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

The Downley School edit

Unless you can provide some firm evidence that the school is notable in its own right it will be merged with Downley, as have all the other primary, elementary and junior schools in the country been merged with their respective location articles. It has been decided over at afd that these schools are not notable enough for Wikipedia. -- Roleplayer (talk) 08:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:2CAI42KYW.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2CAI42KYW.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Wrexham & Shropshire edit

Hi there. As it's an article about a TOC and it's only service, it's not a 'line' and does not need a line map with that level of detail. Compare the maps on National Express East Coast with the one on East Coast Main Line - one shows the services provided by a TOC and the other (more detailed) describes the route. The WSMR article has the right level of detail already. Route level information (as in the ECML article) should be detailed in the articles associated with each of the lines the service travels over; e.g. Shrewsbury to Chester Line, Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury Line and so on. Cheers. DrFrench (talk) 23:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, can't agree with you there. It's far too much detail for this article. Too much information can be worse than too little. Remember, Wikipedia is for everyone and not just rail enthusiasts. Having different levels of detail makes it more accessible to more people. A high-level 'tube map' style diagram for the service pages (like NXEC) makes it useful for he casual browser who is interested in the service. A more detailed level of information for each of the lines (like ECML) provides information that's useful to people with more of an interest in railways. DrFrench (talk) 23:37, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
That would be fine by me (although beware if others decide to delete a page with just a map on). I'm sorry my comments have been all negative - its certainly no reflection on your work in creating the map (I've done few myself and I know they can be time-consuming).DrFrench (talk) 23:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Aylesbury population edit

Hi, I noticed that you changed the Aylesbury population figure, from 65,173 to 69,021. The article mentions that the figure is taken from the 2001 census, but the figure provided at Neighbourhood Statistics is 56,392. I am confused as to where the original figure and your correction are sourced from. - Scribble Monkey (talk) 12:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, it looks like that figure is for the Aylesbury urban area, which includes Bierton and Stoke Mandeville. Bucks CC. Would it be worth clarifying that in the article, as the article currently states that those areas are not part of Aylesbury? - Scribble Monkey (talk) 08:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Olney, Milton Keynes edit

Olney is not in modern Buckinghamshire. Legally, Milton Keynes (borough) is a seperate county. Please don't make this sort of change without reading the article carefully. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:06, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well I disagree. The current Buckinghamshire describes an administrative county that unambiguously excludes the Borough (which, in law, is a separate county). So which definition of Buckinghamshire do you want to use? 1950? 1900, 1850, 1700? The same goes for Berkshire and Wiltshire. Can you show me an agreed policy by the UK Geography WikiProject that supports your view? I believe that there has been a long debate in which the Traditional Counties of England lobby lost. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
We should take this debate to WikiProject. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
First, when you have made a controversial edit to a long-standing article and another editor has reverted your edit to the status quo ante, it is considered very inappropriate to immediately revert that reversion. I won't engage in an edit war with you, but it would show good faith if you were to undo the reversion yourself.
Second, I have opened a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography#Olney, Milton Keynes; Caversham, Reading; Wanborugh, Swindon. I invite you to argue your case there. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

(<-) For better or worse the consensus has always been to use ceremonial counties for disambiguation in place name articles. Yes this has its drawbacks (e.g. inner city areas of Liverpool are dabbed to the much broader Merseyside, Leeds to West Yorkshire and for Manchester it is Greater Manchester), but some Unitary Authority areas have formal titles that are too lengthy and not helpful for disambiguation (We could soon have "Cuddington, Cheshire West and Chester"!).

It should also be pointed out that this is how several well known atlases and gazetteers disambiguate locations, an example being the AA's Road map of Great Britain. Hope that helps. --Jza84 |  Talk  21:44, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I would like to see an example of where it has done that for an inner suburb of Leeds or Liverpool. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I can see the difficulty that some people have with places that are clearly outside the urban area, but call somewhere like Loughton, Milton Keynes "Loughton, Buckinghamshire" when it is right in the heart of MK seems to me to be clearly nonsensical. It makes it sound like it might be the other side of Stone, Buckinghamshire (deliberate choice). The same goes for the inner suburbs of Leeds and Liverpool - if the logic leads to that conclusion then either the logic is faulty or the starting point is wrong, since it is a conclusion that is clearly stupid.

I think you have misunderstood my reference to the Traditional Counties debate. What I'm saying is this: the scenery has changed the argument remains the same. There are those who want Wikipedia to show a world frozen as it was when they were young, and those who want it to reflect the world as it is today. Those clinging to the ceremonial counties today are exactly analagous to those who clung to the traditional counties a few years ago. The only difference is the point at which you want to stop the clock. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice edit

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Thanks! Yeah I created that website because I wanted to change the situation, and it seemed the best way to reach a large audience, and from the several hundred page views a month, that seems to be working! I also wrote to Milton Keynes council over some metric-only road signs I found in the city centre... low and behold... a year later, they were dual units! Given the apparent strength of the anti-metric feeling there are surprisingly few groups in the UK. There's the BWMA, the Active Resistance and the Metric Martyrs Group.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Map zone 1 379x229.jpg} edit

Thank you for uploading Image:Map zone 1 379x229.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Request reason:

I will have one more go at explaining this mess. I live with quite a few other people who each have individual computers. We all share a wireless internet connection. Therefore we all have the same IP address. Now one of them has been causing the vandalism, not me. I have not vandalised. I have about 1000 edits to my name, have created several pages and have helped patrol new pages and new users. I am in the middle of creating this article and several others. I just hope that I can be believed and that the real person responsible for this stops right away. If I am not unblocked, then this encyclopedia has lost a well-contributing editor, a promising editor who has done nothing whatsoever wrong. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Checkuser confirmed. There is really no way to demonstrate this without publicly revealing your IP address. I will do this if you authorize it, but as this IP address shows multiple instances of anonymous harassment interleaved with your logged-in contributions, there really is no alternative explanation. And based on the technical evidence, the "of my gosh it must be my unsecured wireless connection" doesn't cut the mustard either.

Observations from the Afterlife edit

As I sit here, cursing the bastards who blocked me, I ponder over the finer points of this case. Actually there is only one. Possum (or RyanLupin - whatever you're called now): to stop being harrassd do two things. Remove your mugshot from your user page and get rid of those links to social networking sites. Do you wonder why people have been texting you amongst other things? It's because you make it so easy. From one look at your user page, they know where you live, where you study, what you look like... it doesn't help at all. I hope your harrassment does end soon. Follow what I've said and I am sure it will. Mpvide65 (talk) 01:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:51E2NRQPM3L SL500 AA240 .jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 23:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with File:240px-Buckinghamshire outline map with UK Railways.PNG edit

Thanks for uploading File:240px-Buckinghamshire outline map with UK Railways.PNG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Fair use rationale for File:Full 899489dancer.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Full 899489dancer.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 71.176.83.93 (talk) 02:57, 24 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

High Wycombe article edit

On 24 June 2008 you added a new section "Demographics", without comment - an oversight perhaps. However, why does the table include Great Kingshill, which is not part of the town, Bourne End which is also not a part, and Cookham, which is in Berkshire? --Rambler24 (talk) 17:19, 27 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:My family lineup 2000.jpg edit

Thank you for uploading File:My family lineup 2000.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Spartaz Humbug! 18:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Ceremonial Counties of England, colour-coded by population.PNG edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Ceremonial Counties of England, colour-coded by population.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 05:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Files missing description details edit

Dear uploader: The media files you uploaded as:

are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.

If the information is not provided, the images may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 09:45, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
