License tagging for Image:Teppermannn.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Teppermannn.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 04:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

University College Junior Common Room

Unfortunately, the JCR article was deleted by an administrator (not by me though). However, please note the various Wikipedia guidelines and policies involved. The article would have needed a massive rewrite if it was to survive, particularly in the following areas:

1. Citations/sources were needed for the room and the claims made about it - see the Wikipedia pages WP:V and WP:CITE.
2. The tone of the writing style needs to be encyclopedic e.g. phrases like "Long live the King!" are frowned on in Wikipedia, unless they're something like a cited quotation from a notable source. See WP:BETTER, WP:WTA, and especially WP:NPOV.
3. The article didn't indicate where "University College" was - a global audience would need to know the city/country where the room is located.
4. Finally, as was indicated in one of the deletion notices, notability is needed in Wikipedia articles. See WP:N and WP:LOCAL for those guidelines.

Hopefully this explains the concerns and policies behind the article's deletion. Perhaps the JCR would be better as a section added to the existing main University College article (but be sure to provide the citations, encyclopedic tone, etc. as per Wikipedia policies and guidelines, including the Wikipedia Manual of Style).
