Speedy deletion nomination of File:Edge-Hill-Cutting-Air.jpg
editA tag has been placed on File:Edge-Hill-Cutting-Air.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

editWelcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:City and South London Railway are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. Please also try and keep your talk page comments focused on the related article. Raywil (talk) 21:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:City and South London Railway for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages.

editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Beatles. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. freshacconci talktalk 11:34, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- I will add that I don't appreciate your recent edit comment that includes "I advise to to [sic] read The Elements of Style by Stunk & White." Given that comment was made with an edit that reverted my edit, I assume that comment was directed at me. First, I have read The Elements of Style and I doubt William Strunk, Jr. or E.B. White would agree with you or approve of the sloppy edit comment itself. More importantly, please do not comment on editors, or on give such advice to them; comment only on the edits themselves.
- You have now been reverted by three different editors. That should tell you something. — John Cardinal (talk) 15:30, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
