However, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Image source problem with Image:306385942c1c07dc74domp7.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:306385942c1c07dc74domp7.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:306385942c1c07dc74domp7.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:306385942c1c07dc74domp7.jpg. 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 15:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 19:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Excelscreenshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Excelscreenshot.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Notability of East Street Shopping Centre

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on East Street Shopping Centre, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because East Street Shopping Centre seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting East Street Shopping Centre, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Eastleigh

Looks pretty spammy to me, full of unsourced puffs, and there are no independent verifiable sources either for your claims or to show that this centre it meets the notability guidelines. Examples of unreferenced claims:

• The shopping centre revolutionised the retail offering of the railway town
• It was also famous for its extravagant Christmas grottos and huge Christmas
• Commercial success...The Swan Centre has been largely successful commercially. Most of the units on the ground floor are snapped up very quickly

The only source you give is the official website. The point of speedy deletion is that it allows non-neutral and non-notable articles to be deleted without lengthy consultation. If you want to improve it, I'll put the text here shortly jimfbleak (talk) 14:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Swan Shopping Centre Eastleigh

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Swan Shopping Centre Eastleigh, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a directory; there is nothing to suggest that this shopping centre is notable enough for an encyclopedia article.

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. JohnCD (talk) 15:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gary, I've retrieved much of the content of this article and added it to the Eastleigh article. I'll look at doing similar with the Southampton shopping centre articles you wrote - we could do with that information in the Southampton City Centre article. Some references would be really useful though, if you can provide any. Let me know if you need any help. Cheers, waggers (talk) 10:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Articles on shopping centres

Hi. Before you put too much effort into making articles about shopping centres, I should warn you that, although there is no specific policy about them, many such articles about small centres have not survived a challenge on grounds of not being notable enough for an article in an encyclopedia. Some guidelines you might like to look at:

• Notability
• Wikipedia is not a directory
• Places of local interest

and this as an example of a deletion discussion. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Eastleigh

It's already tagged again for speedy deletion. I'll leave it to someone else, but you really will have to address the notability and referencing issues, or it will keep happening jimfbleak (talk) 16:16, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I'll try and sort some sources out; if it does get deleted again I think I'll just put the info into the article on Eastleigh itself.GaryReggae (talk) 15:11, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
