PS. I hope you don't mind, I've redirected your first article, Rise of the cybermen, as there was already an existing article at Rise of the Cybermen which covered the information you submitted. --Canley 14:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

PS. Sorry about this, I'm not picking on you, it's just that directly cutting-and-pasting from websites is not allowed on Wikipedia. The same problem with Lesley Manville (copied from http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=1731) I hope you're not put off, have a look at the links above and you'll be writing great articles in no time! Let me know if you have any questions (click on my name and then the Discussion tab). All the best, Canley 14:55, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Pillars commun.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Pillars commun.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Iacon
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article Iacon, 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}}
to the top of Iacon. B. Wolterding (talk) 09:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Iacon
editI have nominated Iacon, an article 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/Iacon. 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. -- Suntag ☼ 08:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC) -- Suntag ☼ 08:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
The article Lincoln Beswick has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- A local councillor is not notable, MBEs are not particularly either
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Scott Mac 23:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
