On a final note, you may want to try the new (beta) VisualEditor, check out our weekly newspaper, the Wikipedia Signpost, and join a WikiProject of interest to you. WikiProjects gather editors interested in certain topic areas, providing them with information, tools and a place to discuss the topic in question. Based on your recent edits I think you may be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. For a list of all WikiProjects, see here. Joining a WikiProject makes the Wikipedia experience much richer! --ElHef (Meep?) 01:04, 14 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League.gif edit

Thanks for uploading File:Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League.gif. 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) 02:31, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League.gif edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League.gif. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 23:50, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, the article that has it is only a draft page at present, and I linked to it from the image details. It has not yet been approved due to the backlog, so it will be on that article then : Lancashire and Cheshire Amateur Football League. So am I not able to upload it until the page has been approved?

There are a few red errors in the citations which you may wish to attend to. One reference is to a Wordpress site, which is deprecated, but I saw this as worth accepting warts 'n all. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:35, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
