Hi!

Image copyright problem with Image:Image-David Graham1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Image-David Graham1.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 00:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Eh? I'm sure I put that I took the pic. Ah well, Wikipedia's loss. --Hindleyite 17:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey Hindleh

Thanks for the help with the Illogicopedia logo on here. Didn't know you edited on here :) --MrMetalFLower (talk) 16:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Neither did I :) It's rare I edit here but I use Wikipedia pretty often for reference. After Illogic, of course... -- Hindleyite (talk) 20:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Ay up

Thanks hindley, don't know much about "ay up" but i thought I'd add it because it was missing --Deadlyfish (talk) 12:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

No probs. Seems a bit fishy (no pun intended) to me that it was prodded, smacks of Uncyclopedia-ish deletionism... -- Hindleyite (talk) 12:38, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Belated welcome to WP:GM

Hello, Hindleyite, and welcome to Wikiproject Greater Manchester! Thank you for your generous offer to help contribute. I'm sure your input will be much appreciated. I hope you enjoy contributing here and being a Greater Manchester Project Wikipedian! As a project we aim to have all our articles compliant with the various editing policies and guidelines. If you are contributing an article, it is good practice to ensure that it’s properly referenced with reliable sources, otherwise any contentious content may be removed by another editor. A good starting point for articles about settlements in Greater Manchester is the WP:UKCITIES guideline. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss anything on the project talk page, or to leave a message on my own talk page. Please remember to sign all your comments, and be bold with your ideas. Again, welcome, and happy editing!

Sorry you've not been welcomed to the project before, but we've all been pretty busy one way or another. You might like to know that User:Man2, also a member of WP:GM, occasionally edits articles to do with Wigan so you may meet him around and may be able to help. If you have any questions to do with the project or anything else, drop by the project talk page or feel free to ask me. I hope you enjoy editing! Nev1 (talk) 17:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hindley St. Peter's Cricket Club

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Hindley St. Peter's Cricket Club, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. bigissue (talk) 10:57, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Sociology Newsletter: II (April 2010)

Sociology Project • News • April 2010
Spreading the meme since August 2006
The Sociology WikiProject is conducting a roll call (or min-census, if you prefer). More then five years down the road, we have over 50 members, but we don't know how many of them are still active in the sociology area. If you are or want to become once again an active contributor to the sociology content on Wikipedia, please move your name from the inactive to the active list on our roll call (or add yourself to the list if you haven't joined yet!). In other news, we have reactivated the newsletter :) At least, for this announcement. We also have a new, automated to do listing, an active tag and assess project (which has identified about 1,800 sociology articles on Wikipedia, and assessed about 1,3000 of them), and three new userboxes for your self-identification pleasure :) On a final note, I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions.
You have received this newsletter because you are listed as a recipient of WikiProject Sociology Newsletter (Opt-out). • signed

File permission problem with File:Illogicopedia logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:Illogicopedia logo.png. 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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:58, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
