editHello, welcome to Wikipedia.
You can also sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the tasks below: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.
You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)
Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.
Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
Again, welcome!
P.S. I moved your article to Edward Bingham (artist) -- a more standard title --and deleted the nonstandard redirect page
That's a really good photo. You probably ought to stick an appropriate image tag on it - if you go to Image:Castle_Hedingham_Vase.jpg and edit the page, you can put one of the Image_copyright_tags on the page. I tend to put {{pd-self}} on my own pictures, but that's my personal choice. I like to add a little information to the image page too, if possible.
Also, you can add captions to images when you put them on the page - I've just done it for yours. I know nothing about art pottery, so please change the caption if you want (I'm from Clevedon and my mother owns a few pieces of Elton Ware, hence the interest).
Also: are you the author of this? If you're not, you need to get the author's permission to put it here under the terms of the Gnu Free Documentation Licence (which effectively means he has to give up any personal copyright). If you don't get that permission, the article needs to be deleted (ask me, I'm an administrator so I can do it). If you are the author, it would be a good idea to note that on the Edward Bingham talk page, otherwise someone else is likely to spot that the article's a variation on the blog entry, and list the whole lot on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

- Yes; it's also a good habit to cite sources, for the same reason. Tearlach 14:54, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Copyright
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Ivon Hitchens, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. For more information about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, take a look at our Five Pillars. Happy editing!
- Sorry to get heavy about this when you're new, but a couple of your new pages - the above and Allen Gallery have been deleted as copyright violations. It's important a) not to use material verbatim from other sites without permission and b) to cite the sources of material you add. Tearlach 17:36, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Did a quick copy edit of your new article. It would be good to cite your source for this material, and (as shown above) restate material in your own words if there is a potential for copyright infringement. The copyright concerns also apply to photographs and other images. Hope to work with you again soon. Welcome to Wikipedia. WBardwin 23:18, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Copyrights
editI am going to have to delete Edward Bingham (artist) unless I get some proof within the next few days that either you are the original author, or that the original author has given permission for it to be published on Wikipedia under GFDL terms. You must not take copyrighted work from other authors and put it on to Wikipedia. You obviously have an interest in art and knowledge of the subject, and Wikipedia needs knowledgeable and interested people, so please continue to contribute but in your own words. I'm very concerned about John Tunnard, also, as it seems to be an extract from an article elsewhere. Please do not create any new articles (feel free to edit existing ones), until the sources and copyright situation have been clarified on John Tunnard, Edward Bingham (artist), and the two images you have uploaded. --ajn (talk) 09:07, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
WHY HAVE YOU DELETED MY ARTICLE ON JOHN TUNNARD!!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU ARE A F****** I****. I SPENT MONTHS WRITING THAT ARTICLE AND YOU DELETE IT BECAUSE YOU SUSPECT IT OF BEING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT A WRITER TO DO TO PROVE THAT THE ARTICLE IS HIS/HER OWN WORK AND NOT THE COPYRIGHT OF ANOTHER? JUST BECAUSE AN ARTICLE IS WRITTEN VERY WELL, WHY DO YOU ASSUME THAT IT CAN'T BE WRITTEN BY A CONTRIBUTOR TO WIKIPEDIA? THAT IT MUST BE COPIED FROM A BOOK/ YOU HAVE A TINY MIND AND HAVE TO GROW UP! I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 7 ARTICLEDS ON WIKIPEDIA TODAY WHICH I KNOW FOR A FACT HAVE BEEN LIFTED FROM OTHER ARTICLES AND THEY ARE LEFT. WHAT IS THE MENTALITY OF YOU ADMINISTTRATORS THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO DESTROY OTHER PEOPLES WORK? HOW IS WIKIPEDIA GOING TO SURVIVE WITH PEOPLE OF YOUR MIND WHO ONLY WANT THE POWER OVER OTHERS.I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE ANY MORE FOR WIKIPEDIA AND I WILL REMOVE MANY PAGES. YOU HAVE REMOVED TWO OF MY ARTICLES AND I AM FEELING LIKE A BEAR WITH A SORE HEAD!!!
- The Possible Copyright Violation tag is a suspicion, not a deletion. Neverthless, the archaic style of the John Tunnard piece has the smell of copyio: nobody uses phrases like "his youthful employ" any more. I'm trying to find a copy of the book to check.
- You have posted a number of copyright violations previously: Ivon Hitchens, Allen Gallery (where you only obtained permission to recreate as Allen Museum, Alton when the cut&paste was exposed) and Edward Bingham (and we can add Leslie Hurry -- now revised - which came verbatim from the British Council page).
- If you are asserting authorship of the John Tunnard article, then it gets even worse, as it makes you the same editor as 86.139.147.92 (talk · contribs) and 81.151.177.179 (talk · contribs), both of whom have also posted a series of copyright violations. For instance, there's 81.151.177.179's copyvio from the Guggenheim Museum page [1] and the creation of Christopher Tunnard [2], which comes verbatim from gardenvisit.com
- Needless to say, attempts to delete articles will be treated as vandalism. Tearlach 16:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not now at all sure that you have written anything much for Wikipedia, so your threat to not write "any more" is not terribly worrying. The reason I and Tearlach (who is not an administrator) are concerned about John Tunnard is that everything else of substance you have put here has turned out to be someone else's work which you have dishonestly passed off as your own. The Tunnard article is written in a style which suggests it's taken verbatim from a longer work, and I suspect that work is the biography cited in the article. --ajn (talk) 20:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Castle Hedingham Vase.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 15:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
