Speedy deletion nomination of File:TR1 shunting tractor of 1924.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:TR1 shunting tractor of 1924.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Image uploads

I'm sorry but the permission given by the library isn't sufficient enough for Wikipedia purposes. The conditions actually state "You can search, browse, print and download items from this website for research and personal study. You are welcome to reproduce the above image(s) on your blog or another website, but please maintain the integrity of the image (i.e. don't crop, recolour or overprint it), reproduce the image's caption information and link back to here (link removed). If you would like to use the above image(s) in a different way (e.g. in a print publication), or use the transcription or translation, permission must be obtained."[1] To meet the needs of Wikipedia:Image use policy as a free licence on Wikipedia the licence must allow commercial re-use, in any medium (print or web), and allow modification. All of these are prohibited by the statement given by the library. Nthep (talk) 22:58, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi again, there might be some light. The terms quoted above from the image description page do not match the general terms of use of the National Library so it could be that the images are pubic domain. Confirmation is being sought from the library. Nthep (talk) 11:26, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

References needed

Hello. At Rail transport in New Zealand, you've made a number of rapid changes and I'm concerned that you will make more. The problem is that you've made statements that lack references. You seem very knowledgeable about rail infrastructure and management of KiwiRail, but all statements that appear as facts must be supported by references. Please stop making changes and add references to the statements you've made. If you're unwilling to provide them, or can't, I'm afraid your changes will have to be reverted. Please don't be offended; you've done some good work, but Wikipedia requires references. Akld guy (talk) 00:41, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

On examining closely what you've done, I see that you've mostly moved paragraphs and content around. I was perhaps harsh in suggesting that you need to provide references, but the speed at which you were making changes made it difficult to see whether you were adding or simply moving. Akld guy (talk) 04:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Akld guy. I hope this gets through to you as I have not used the Talk function before and not sure if this is the right way to reply!. If you get this, please advise, and I will then reply to your positive comments. (talk)

Reply to User:Akld guy

Points noted, although mostly I just moved paragraphs rather than adding things. That is, lack of references was pre-existing. Nevertheless, will progressively add references over next few days. Thank you, and your comments are very helpfulPeter1429 (talk) 04:28, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, the lack of references is a problem and it was difficult to tell what you were doing. On another matter, please be sure to observe the following:

• all punctuation (commas, fullstops, etc) before the reference, not after
• no space before the ref. The ref always comes immediately after the last character

I've fixed several instances in the last few minutes and you should be able to see what I've done. Akld guy (talk) 05:29, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Abuse

Take great care that you don't use insults. I could report you to WP:ANI for that and if you were an experienced user you would almost certainly be blocked. In view of your newness to Wikipedia, I'm going to overlook it this time. Akld guy (talk) 23:15, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Leyland diesel railbus NZ 1936.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Leyland diesel railbus NZ 1936.jpg, which you've attributed to Margaret Sibbald. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:50, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
