Orphaned non-free media (Image:Utslogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Utslogo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

March 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Jack Rodwell. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. robwingfield ^«T•C» 08:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Tom Wright (basketball)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Tom Wright (basketball), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi Danausi. I have left my thoughts about your move of the above article here. I am interested to know your thoughts. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 01:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Your user page has been used as a talk page - and you have edited part of Andrew Forrest without an edit summary - definitely monday morning stuff - why did you remove the item at Forrest? SatuSuro 02:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Game III SoO 2008

So which part of the line, did you object to : Thurston was judged the player of the series and cockily spoke to reporters afterwards of his match winning play - "the old show and go, thank-you baby!" . He was, he did and that's exactly what he said. When you make deletions, would you mind briefly stating a reason in the edit summary. I notice this have been requested of you before. -Sticks66 04:36, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Camilla Nelson

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Camilla Nelson, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.lib.uts.edu.au/node/7054. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Lame duck

I have reverted your addition to the disambiguation page Lame duck. Per WP:MOSDAB, Dab pages are meant to be navigation aides, and redlinks should only be added if the article is very likely to be created (i.e., several articles link to the non-existent article). — Swpb^{τ • c} 13:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Mike Cockerill

A tag has been placed on Mike Cockerill requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Josh Parris 00:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Tim Lang

I have nominated Tim Lang, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Lang. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. --Dynaflow babble 22:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of ABC (shot)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article ABC (shot), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

no indication of notability or popularity -- not even for uniqueness of name; a previously deleted article at ABC Cocktail was for "Absinthe, Bourbon, and Cointreau"; on Duo and trio cocktails, it stands for either.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. older ≠ wiser 03:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Request

Hi. I’m looking to add free-licensed photographs of the various season residences of MTV’s The Real World to the articles for those seasons, so I’m contacting editors whom it appears may live in or near those cities. Do you live in or near Darling Harbour, and if so, would you be able to take some high-quality pics of the Sydney residence, and upload them here if I give you the location? If not, do you know anyone who can? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 14:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Barassi line

Just a couple of things regarding your edit. Its totally fine that you think the article is ridiculous, but labelling all the text you deleted as biased and false is a bit rough. I dont think the article is ridiculous, I think its an interesting way of describing a cultural phenomonon that exists, and describes attempts to test its veracity by the leagues involved. Its biggest problem is that its not well referenced.

I'm assuming the bias you're referring to are the sections regarding the expansion in 1995 being a cause of the Super League war, which can safely be deleted, even though it is a fact that there was a series of lopsided results which created great concern in the media regarding the viability of the new clubs. The line 'All three clubs struggled from their outset to attract fans and attention in cities whose focus was on a different code of football' is highly relevant to the article. Also relevant is the relative success of the new newest clubs, the Titans and the new incarnation of the Rabbitohs, both on the code's own side of the line. It is also a fact that 'the western side of the Barassi line has only produced a handful of rugby football players at the elite level' which is relevant to the nature of the Barassi line.

I'm also not sure what the problem is regarding the history of the two codes in the ACT. The line supposedly runs through this area, and so the relative success of the two codes is relevant.

I dont intend to do anything as dramatic as an undo, just some minor editing, but I'd be interested to know your position on these notes specifically before I start.

I dont take it THAT seriously, but you were talking about bias which I just thought was a bit unfair.

The comment in the lead paragraph regarding the stylised straight line not being particularly accurate should allay concerns regarding SE Qld and Canberra. I see what you're saying about the Swans Lions cap issues, but they merely took advantage of AFL policy, unlike some otehr discovered 'cheats' such as the Canterbury Bulldogs. This policy could also be mentioned in the article, as the AFL are obviously using this policy to overcome the problem of operating teams on the other side of the line. I'll have to check on the Storm crowds, but are you sure they've won it twice since 1999? And what's the big deal with comparing AFL to NRL crowds? I think its interesting to compare. Maybe the line is involved here too. Mdw0 (talk) 01:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Transfer fees

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Dida (goalkeeper). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The http://transfermarkt.de/ is a community site and everyone can submit the transfer fees data. Please do not use it as reference (except their news article quoted from other reliable media) It just not reliable. Matthew_hk tc 07:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Gianluca Zambrotta

Please, do not use /transfermarkt.de as reference, it just a community site. Just like wikipedia, if a unknown user submit a sum, would you believe that and made it as reference?! Zambrotta cost Juve 30 billion lire at that time. not 8m. Matthew_hk tc 19:17, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Waterhouse

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tom Waterhouse 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WWGB (talk) 12:13, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

UTS Tower page question

Hi from UTS Library! I have an academic researching the history of UTS and wondering if you know anything about this information on the UTS Tower page: An alternative interpretation of the Tower's rationale was provided by "Shoplift", a Student Association magazine. It alleged that the architects had been instructed to develop a building "in which students would not want to congregate". We're trying to verify if Shoplift was the actual name of the magazine and whether you had access to it? Thanks! Hmychan (talk) 03:57, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Invitation

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:16, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
