Blacon picture

Hello. Just to let you know that I wasn't the person who queried the Blacon pic - with the info given, it's fine, though you should add the the {{GFDL}} tag to the image page so that it can be categorised properly, rather than just writing the info. I'd also advise removing your personal email from that page, as it may well attract spam. Cheers. Loganberry (Talk) 00:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

More on Blacon

Okay, I've left North West England alone now, though it's rather non-standard for geographical articles to use that form, so don't be surprised if someone else changes it in due course.

However, I don't think you're taking my point about POV. The whole point about the NPOV policy is that truth alone is not enough; every fact must be both true and written in a neutral tone. I happen to think that Stirling Moss was the greatest racing driver never to be world champion, and most people would agree with me, but that does not mean that I can write it in his article as fact. Loganberry (Talk) 00:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Link

Why did you add an external link about Chester, UK to a page about West Chester, USA? Deizio talk 17:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

...because the town/city/county has 'Chester' in the name. I am born in Chester and just thought the Americans in Westchester might find it fascinating to see pictures, and read information about Roman Chester, England. If you don't agree - take it out, by all means. Twinney12 17:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Please don't make any such edits in future. Ensure content is directly relevant to the subject at hand. Your idea may have been well intentioned but ultimately adding inappropriate external links is spamming, a form of vandalism. Deizio talk 17:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

On another matter, please don't include ~~~~ in your edit summaries. It doesn't add a signature, your user name is included in the page history automatically, and signatures are generally only for posts on discussion pages. Deizio talk 18:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Blacon

The Blacon article, which you appear to have been a significant contributor to, is a little out of step with several Wikipedia guidelines and policies regarding e.g. style, external links and content. I also removed from the talk page a large portion of text which appeared to be lifted from an external source, rather than a discussion about the article. I applaud your enthusiasm for the article, if you could address some of my concerns it will only improve it. The extra text in the references section is a particular "sore thumb" in the piece at the moment. Deizio talk 18:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree! I have removed all extra text in the ref section, leaving only the references themselves.

The article and associated history tend to disagree with that statement. Deizio talk 18:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Give me a chance cock!! I've just done it!

I think calling fellow editors (whether or not they are also administrators) "cock" when they're trying to help you improve an article you have a great fondness for is discouraged in a policy somewhere. Want me to look for it or shall we play nice? Deizio talk 18:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

For your information there is a greeting, an expression, used in London which goes "alright me ol' cock sparra" This is often shortened to 'alright cock'! To call someone 'cock' is not offensive or demeaning to them in anyway whatsoever. So for you to threaten me with some kind of retribution, as you just have, is an appalling faux pas on your behalf. I can only say to you... Calm down, Calm down son, and stop being so small minded and petty!Twinney12 12:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violation - Pathfinder uk govt

This article has now been deleted as copyvio since it was taken from a website without demonstrating specific permission. Please be careful since Wikipedia has a zero tolerance policy on copyright violations. TerriersFan 01:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Question

Mr. TerriersFan, My question refers to the above. I didn't need permission as there was a link to download the .PDF file. There are some relevant pages about Blacon on the govt's pathfinder site which can be downloaded, but cannot be viewed ON that site. To view them you have to download them. Can I upload them to the Blacon Wiki for readers to view, as I do with an image? Cheers for the edits, the site is looking well! Twinney12 12:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC) Tony

Sorry, but you did need permission since whether you viewed it, or downloaded it, the copyright rested with the author. I linked the Blacon article to the Word document directly, but you deleted the link. I have now linked the article to the webpage. If there are further resources, to which you wish to refer, then it's fine to link to them but there is no provision to embed Word, PDF, etc. files in the article. Please let me know if I can help, further. TerriersFan 23:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

As a further thought, if you are unhappy with the grounds for the deletion of your article you can appeal, using the procedures here.TerriersFan 00:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi! With reference to your comments: "This article has now been deleted as copyvio since it was taken from a website without demonstrating specific permission." Sorry to labour this point, but I did not need permission to view the article or to download the article in question - nor does everyone in the world who visits the pathfinder site. If we did need permission there would have been a request written on the download page, surely?!

By allowing one to download the file the author(s) are showing they are not concerned with copyright. I would of course have credited the article with a reference or footnote, but had 'parked' it on that discussion page while I was thinking how to link to it. We're not all Wiki experts, ya know! Twinney12 08:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Sure the copyright rests with the author - but since they placed the article to be freely downloaded by anyone, is 'copyright' even an issue here?

I guess I have failed to persuade you so I would simply ask that you accept my judgement though YMMV. As I said before, if you continue to think that the article should not have been deleted you still have the WP:DRV option, though I would counsel against it. TerriersFan 05:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

To me:..."if you continue to think that the article should not have been deleted" I don't think, and have not suggested, that the article in question should NOT have been deleted - where did you get THAT from?!!

I am arguing that copyright here is not an issue, because the government allows ANYONE, WITHOUT PERMISSION to download the pathfinder report. It is you who keep harping on about 'copyright'; I said earlier "I would of course have credited the article with a reference or footnote, but had 'parked' it on that discussion page while I was thinking how to link to it."

We have a separate page for Blacon railway station could we have a separate page for, say, 'Blacon Pathfinder Report' or is that going into too much detail?

Good Idea

Keep up the good work the site is looking better and more professional every day. Kind Regards,Tony Twinney12 10:15, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Moving on ...

The general principle is that all information should be kept together in the one article. The reasons are:

• It is easier for the reader to navigate within one article using the Contents than to job between several different articles.
• It provides a better overview of the topic.

There are times when breaking out separate articles is correct:

• When the topic is independently notable.
• When the length of a section is such that it would overbalance the main article.
• When the article exceeds the optimum length (don't worry about this one - a clear warning is given when you start to edit any article that is too long).

The Station article was just fine since stations are considered independently notable - there are many readers interested in them who don't want to flog through locality articles to get at the info.

The Pathfinder material, though, is not independently notable, the main article is not too long and the section does not overbalance the article. A new page for Pathfinder is therefore contraindicated.

To further develop the article I would suggest the following:

• Two or three /sourced/ examples (perhaps from the website of your local paper) of tangible improvements brought by Pathfinder.
• A paragraph on Blacon High School, sourcing why it became a specialist school. Specialist schools are also independently notable so, if there is enough material, an article could be started on it (if you decide to, speak with me first and I will point you to a good practice article to model on).
• Anything you can source on policing issues in the area.
• Photographs of:
  • Blacon High School
  • The police HQ
  • The station as it is now (tarmac track or whatever). A photo taken from a similar position to that of the old photo would be really cool.

License tagging for Image:Chestersand2.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Chestersand2.JPG

. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

Hi. Thanks for uploading the picture chestersand2.JPG - I see you put the {{gfdl-self}} tag on the link in the Chester article itself; I'm afraid this won't stop the bots from tagging the picture for deletion because the tag needs to go on the image description page (Image:Chestersand2.JPG). I've done this for you, so you can see how it's done, and taken the tag off the Chester article. Best regards, Arwel (talk) 23:31, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

• Twinny, i see you placed the text i reverted back in. Before i revert it again, i would like to know why the text "N.B. This website is not endorsed or run by Chester City Council [1]" resides inside your edit. Its clearly not encyclopediac, so im wondering if there is a reason why you place it there.

Twinney12 Reply Re: Chester wiki edit

I have been with wiki for some time now over (2 years), and have contributed to several pages, notably wiki Blacon. I am a serious contributor and am making serious edits to the Chester Wiki. I was born in Chester and still live in the city. The walls around the city are medieval but built on a Roman plan. The edits to the name derivation and history of Chester are fully referenced, yet someone keeps removing them and replacing them with non referenced stuff about Danes!! I am using the Chester Coat of Arms with copyright permission from Steve Howe, yet this keeps disappearing too!!. The reference underneath the Coat of arms is for the benefit of Chester City Council who appear to think that people might assume that the Chester Wiki is endorsed by Chester City Council. - Perish the thought! Twinney12 (talk) 11:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

• A little clarification from my side then: When i use a rollback, any edits made by the user being rolled back will be reverted till a previous users edit (EG, if you made 20 edits, all those 20 will be rolled back till someone else's edit). I originally rolled back due to the addition of an e-mail address, along with the somewhat weird text that ended up being a reference.
  
  Now about the reference: Is there any chance that you could just create a number reference without the preceding "Not endorsed" text? A disclaimer doesn't fit inside the article, so it might be better to move it to references altogether. --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 11:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Chester

Hi. Whilst I and others appreciate the changes you are making to this arrticle, some have been problematic in not conforming to the style guidelines in content and presentation. Can I ask that you pause a little, allowing myself and others to sort out what has already been done a little, and, in the meantime, you might study WP:UKCITIES for a better idea of how to structure and present information here. Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 12:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. I have re-removed the coat of arms until it is discussed on either Talk:Chester or (better) the Cheshire WikiProject. My reason for doing this is the insistence on putting in the disclaimer that jars and is a bit out of place. Perhaps a discussion would lead to a better solution. Also, please do not use inflammatory language in your edit summaries, and, also be aware that you are nearing a 3rr boundary that may reasult in you being temporarily suspended.  DDStretch  (talk) 12:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Reply to DDStretch by Twinney12

The Coat of Arms badly placed? badly placed? The image of The Coat of Arms of Chester has been placed at the top of the page about Chester. Where else would one place it eh? The bottom, middle, to one side? - Excirial does not appear to be as concerned as you are about the Coat of Arms as he/she offered advice. About the "strange disclaimer" you mention - I suggest you contact Martin Waters at Chester City Council and tell him that HIS disclaimer is strange, for he wrote the disclaimer in an email to me, which you are free to inspect.

Excirial wrote, with reference to the Coat of Arms.: "Now about the reference: Is there any chance that you could just create a number reference without the preceding "Not endorsed" text?

The information was out of place in the article about Chester, but would fit in the article about the Duke. I also have changed other things around which were not in conformance with guidelines (see WP:UKCITIES.) I have also removed the coat of arms that are badly placed and, with the strange disclaimer really does not fit in. I suggest that these kinds of major changes would be better discussed prior to them being made on either Talk:Chester or the Cheshire WikiProject. I left you a note about this.

'Buggering about' is hardly 'inflammatory language' What, are you an American bible puncher who considers 'dam' 'inflammatory language'?

I am sorry if I have offended you. However, your choice of what to quote that you wrote is not the complete story, since you directed personal comments against me as a person (asking whether i was some American bibvle puncher, etc) rather than to my comments. In that respect, the warning was justified. It is you who are interpreting it as a threat, when it was just a warning, which would be quite reasonable to make even between friends and not be interpreted as the hostile act the choice of the word "threat" implies".  DDStretch  (talk) 17:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

Hello Twinney12,

Just a note that it may not be, or have been your intention, but your userpage could be seen as a bad-faith mimic or mockery of User:Ddstretch's userpage. It's certainly been "copied" from his userspace, which is fine in the capacity that you may like the look of it and want something simillar, but it may be more appropriate to "make it your own" and customise it towards your needs and interests to avoid any confusion.

You can take a look at WP:USERPAGE and WP:USERBOX for some ideas, or if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps, -- Jza84 · (talk) 02:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Just noticed this myself. You aren't a member of the Derbyshire WikiProject (so that userbox is inappropriate), and I suspect you can't really speak Mandarin Chinese at a level beyond elementary. It would be good if you could modify it by concentrating on those items and any other you may have included erroneously to reflect your own achievements more.  DDStretch  (talk) 12:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

"This was a project to add the arms of the towns, boroughs, cities, districts and counties of England and Wales to both the English Wikipedia and the Welsh Wicipedia (see the "other languages" link) where appropriate. All the images came from the excellent civicheraldry.co.uk [1]. I've contacted the webmaster of the site and he's happy for the pictures to be used as long as we give credit. He mentions that towns may occasionally object to the use of their civic arms on a website. (However, I consider this fair use in the same way that reproducing a corporate logo is fair use.)" I also have contacted the webmaster of civicheraldry.co.uk to ask him to add the Chester COA to his site. When he does we can then use the COA in the same manner that the CHESHIRE COA has already been used. Doesn't civicheraldry.co.uk have the same problems with copyright? Who does own the copyright to a city's COA - The city or the citizens represented by the city? and I think the 'a corporate logo is fair use' point is strongest argument to be able to use COATony - Twinney12 (talk) 21:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)  Tony Swaine  20:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chester & District Housing Trust

A tag has been placed on Chester & District Housing Trust 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File copyright problem with File:Cath.JPG

This file is my own work and I have alloted this tag:

Thank you for uploading File:Cath.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 20:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tony Swaine

A tag has been placed on Tony Swaine 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 a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Cath.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 15:09, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

• Another one of your uploads, File:Cathederal.JPG, has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 15:09, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Danny Murphy (footballer, born 1977). There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Violation of WP:MOSBIO by including place of birth in lead sentence.

Proposed deletion of File:Chester city coat of arms.png

The file File:Chester city coat of arms.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
