Welcome!

Hello, Cromwellgap, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Clutha Mata-Au River Parkway Group, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Warning

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

Hi there. I've sent you an email through your rafting website to confirm your identity. Thanks, §hep^Talk 04:57, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

No response? §hep^Talk 05:33, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your email. I'll forward it to our OTRS team and they should be able to take care of everything else. Sorry for being a bit abrupt earlier, so many people upload copyright violations. §hep^Talk 07:21, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering if you could fill out descriptions for the images you've uploaded. If you don't get to them soon a bot will more-than-likely plaster you with more templates like {{add-desc-I}}. For adding images to articles you should make sure they comply with our Manual of Style subsection on images here and the 4 links at the top of that section. To avoid image overloads in articles we generally link to a category at Commons. You should really consider uploading any future files over there, that way other language projects can use you photographs as well. Due to all of the warnings here you might want to archive them to a subpage. §hep^Talk 08:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Editing tips

Clutha Mata-Au River Parkway Group could do with some simple cleanup. The article needs to be referenced by multiple reliable third-party. You can do this with footnotes and citation templates. These sources will help prove that the "Clutha Mata-Au River Parkway Group" is notable and falls under our extra organization notability guideline. Remeber that we can only add information that is backed up by other sources, we cannot publish our own original research. Per our overlinking policy, words should only be linked once within an article (there are some exceptions, though). If you need any help in the future please drop by my talk page. §hep^Talk 08:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page File:On the Clutha River at Albert Town.jpg. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. -- Tyler D Mace (talk · contr) 04:58, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

About your talk page archive

Greetings! Archiving your talk page is a good idea: I do it myself. However, the archive should be a user page. The title you chose, Cromwellgap / Archive 1, is in article space. Accordingly, I've moved the page to User talk:Cromwellgap/Archive 1. —C.Fred (talk) 23:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

To display your archives, you can use {{archive box}}. It has a good documentation page on all of its functions and a lot of people use it. §hep^Talk 00:13, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi C.Fred and thanks for your help. I'm trying not to make mistakes! I appreciate the help from yourself and also Shep. Cromwellgap (talk) 23:40, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Alberttown1500x1011.jpg

File:Alberttown1500x1011.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:On the Clutha River at Albert Town.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:On the Clutha River at Albert Town.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 14:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Clutha River from Halliday's Bluff at Albert Town.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Clutha River from Halliday's Bluff at Albert Town.jpg, which you've sourced to Lewis Verduyn. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 12:09, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
