Paul Gascoigne photo

Hi! Re the above, did you mean you have a photo with a suitable copyright status, and are not sure how to post it to WP; or that you're not sure where to start looking for one? Regards, --BillC 22:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I meant that I don't know how to put them up onto wikipedia. But I don't have a photo in mind either, I just think that this article should have one. Would you be able to help? Alec McEnemin 15:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for not replying sooner, I forgot to watchlist your talk page and didn't notice you'd replied. (As a heads-up, I notice much sooner if you reply on my talk page.) Well, I can certainly help with adding a photo once we've found one. But we must be mindful of copyright. So the first thing to do is look for a photo that is compatible with Wikipedia's copyright policies. I'll start looking. --BillC 00:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
Add if you have a copy of his autobiography Gazza: My Story, a low resolution scan (say 400x600 px) of the front cover photograph should be acceptable under fair use doctrines. --BillC 00:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


Call for consensus on fan site list on Andy Murray page

edit

Hello Alan McEnemin,

You've probably noticed my (probably foolhardy) attempt to resolve the edit war on the Andy Murray page regarding fansites. The protagonists do not look about to resolve it among themselves, so I'd appreciate it if you and other regular editors could express your views on this part of the page, so that we can stop the war going forward, or at least block a protagonist who persists in it. Please come to the talk page here

The questions I've put are:

Please can I have the opinions of those who regularly edit this site:

1.Should there be a list of fansites?

2.Should it be ordered

a) alphabetically
b) by site's popularity or quality
c) by some other factor

3. If by popularity/quality how to judge this?

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
