Replacing a file.

edit

Hi Sedicesimo, welcome to Wikipedia. Next time, you can replace a file by going to the existing file, scroll down, and click "Upload a new version of this file". This avoids an administrator having to tag the older file for deletion and another administrator deleting it. It also keeps the same file name so the article does not have to be changed. As well, I have edited the text of the file you uploaded to use the proper book cover license, which was one of the choices of the File Upload Wizard.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for uploading File:Patriciabeer1982.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Thanks for uploading File:PatriciaBeer.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:31, 12 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Davidrrussell2009tn.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Davidrrussell2009tn.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:54, 18 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Royalgoldsmithstn.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Royalgoldsmithstn.jpg.

Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Proposed deletion of Cambridge (book)

edit
 

The article Cambridge (book) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No significant independent coverage of this book - fails WP:NBOOK

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

edit

Thank you for your recent articles, including Gilbert Lesage, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:47, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. Sedicesimo, thanks for creating A Classical Adventure: The Architectural History of Downing College, Cambridge!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. It would be far batter if this book were used as a supporting reference to further the content of the Downing College page, and not as an advertising tool, supported by the inevitable extracts of book reviews. extracts.

Adding books

edit

Hi, I see you are adding books by Cornforth et. al. to a number of architecture articles. It is actually rather confusing if you add them to the References/Sources sections, when they are not, in fact, cited in the articles. Would it be better to add them to a Further reading section? An example could be Sissinghurst Castle Garden. Alternatively, you could, of course, include something from the books in the articles. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 13:41, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hillsborough Castle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Country Life. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Great Irish Households moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Great Irish Households, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:45, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I've moved this article into the draftspace, because there is nothing to indicate that the book in question is notable. You cite only two sources, one of which is the publisher's website, whereas notability per WP:GNG requires multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. Meanwhile, a book that was published only earlier this week is highly unlikely to meet the WP:NBOOK guideline for special notability either, and there certainly is nothing in the article to suggest this. I also note that each of the two sources has been cited only once, leaving the vast majority of the article content unsupported. Please add more and better sources and citations, and when you feel the draft is ready, you can submit it for pre-publication review by clicking that blue 'submit' button.

Thanks for uploading File:GreatIrishHouseholdstn.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 16:40, 23 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
