Striked out London Bus routes

edit

Why are some of the routes striked out? Arriva436 17:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

This is my list of articles that need to either be created or updated. Once i've done it, I strike it off my list. If you want to see all buses that run in London, see List of bus routes in London.--sonicKAI 13:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for telling me what they were. Arriva436 16:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Infobox London Bus

edit

Do you think the PVR would be needed in the template? --sonicKAI 22:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. What is that a measure of? If it is the number of vehicles required for the timetabled service, I think it should go in. It gives a handy statistical way to show the importance/frequency. MRSCTalk 23:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
It is the buses required for service. PVR stands for Peak Vehicle Requirement. I'll add it right away. --sonicKAI 23:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

London Buses route 118

edit

Hi, here is a copy of a message that I sent to:-

User:Murraypaul66

Hi! I've added the first day of operation to the 118.

I hope you don't mind me mentioning this and I mean it constructively. I think you'll have to come up with another way of logging the vehicle allocations. Most "lay people" won't understand AL's, AK's, TB's, J's, GM's etc., etc., If you don't, I think you'll end up with an AFD landed on your hard work.. I'm quite willing to help out.. so let me know. I'm still trying to get the 130 finished, but it doesn't "inspire me" --IsarSteve 20:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC) Reply


Have you seen the article? I just am bit concerned that with so many garage codes in the article, it will cause someone to put an AFD on it.. What do you think? cheers --IsarSteve 20:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Armchair bus.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Armchair bus.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image template evidence?

edit

Hi, Web Kai. Could you please provide some evidence to back up this change? Without such evidence, the template will have to be deleted. Regards, RyanGerbil10(Упражнение В!) 21:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image copyrights

edit

We have been contacted by the rights owner of a number of images you uploaded. He is, to put it mildly, not happy. Please do not upload more pictures unless you yourself are the rights owner (i.e. do not upload images you find on the web, only those you take yourself). Guy (Help!) 13:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Which one was it was it? I get permission from everybody beforehand.--sonicKAI 01:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm guessing from the pictures that have been removed, it was Adam Murray who wasn't happy. I have written permission to use pictures from his site. He even uploaded some of them here himself.--sonicKAI 01:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think all these images, including those uploaded by him, are gone, he has withdrawn whatever permission he may have given. Guy (Help!) 07:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

London Bus articles

edit

These are the things that I want you to do:

  • Can you not delete the bus routes that i have just created, it is very insulting because I am London bus enthusiast and I know my bus routes pretty well.
  1. I'm sorry if you were insulted. I know what it's like, but your articles would have been deleted sooner or later
  2. Here's where you went wrong. You need to use the London Bus route infobox to display cartain information like PVR and management. Currently London Buses route 79 is a perfect example of what should be in the infobox.

I don't doubt how well you know your bus routes, and I didn't mean to offend you, but articles on London buses have been nominated for deletion more times than I can count. Here are a few examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] If you need any more help, you know how to find me --sonicKAI 01:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. How do i creat a London bus route Infobox and add pictures.CourtneyBonnick 20:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've got everything set up at User:web_kai2000/London Buses route layout. Just copy and paste.

Another thing, you may want to create you newest London Bus article as a userpage. To do that just put User:CourtneyBonnick/ in front of the page title. For example: User:CourtneyBonnick/London Buses route ### --sonicKAI 15:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

London Bus articles

edit

I have just created London bus route 606 and their is this grey thing on it, how do i get rid of it?CourtneyBonnick 18:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC) The article was tagged as being non-notable a few minutes after you created it. I'll sort it out for you. --sonicKAI 21:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

WPLT quality and importance categories

edit

Hi. I noticed the change you made to the WPLT banner today for an importance category name. Let me know when you've got all of the quality and importance categories renamed and I can update {{TrainsWikiProject}} to point to the new names as well. AdThanksVance.

Hi. We have received a complaint from the copyright holder of an image uploaded by you, Image:099 TA303.jpg. I have deleted it. Please note that http://www.busesatwork.co.uk cannot release under a free license those photographs it does not own the copyright to. Please identify and tag for deletion any other unfreely licensed media you have uploaded from this website. Jkelly 23:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I note that there are more than 500 of them. Jkelly 00:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the tip, I had noticed that something was up, but fortunately I haven't uploaded any of their images--IsarSteve 16:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC).Reply

Image Licencing

edit

We need a copy of the email releasing this material under a free license sent to permissions AT wikimedia DOT org, or it will all need to be deleted. I note that this has been an issue with your uploads in the past as well, and encourage you again to not upload any more media that you did not create yourself. Jkelly 22:58, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I sent it all off, and got this reply:

There shouldn't be any more problems with these pictures. --sonicKAI 00:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
The email that you pasted on my user talk page is from us, saying that we need a clear release. Did you then follow up? Jkelly 00:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I'm completely confused. John King (of www.transporthistory.co.uk) talks about releasing his pictures in a Creative Commons license way, as does Ian Armstrong (of www.busesatwork.co.uk). As far as I know, that would allow the pictures to stay under something like Cc-by-sa-2.5. I'm not even sure anymore. --sonicKAI 00:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I am looking at http://www.transporthistory.co.uk/ and there is nothing about Creative Commons on that page, nor do the words Creative Commons appear at http://www.busesatwork.co.uk/ -- where did you get the idea that they were licensed under such a license? Jkelly 16:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
The e-mails I received from them say that their pictures could be used as long as they were attributed to them, which is the basis of the Attribution ShareAlike License v. 2.5. --sonicKAI 21:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you saying that you just made up a license for the images? CC-BY-SA allows commercial use, unlimited modification of the work, and insists that any derivative works be released under the same license. Do you have an email that specifies such things, or were they granting permission to Wikipedia only to republish with credit? I'm looking at the email you sent to us, and the words "Creative Commons" don't appear anywhere in the email, nor does any mention of commercial use, modification, or derivative licensing. We also have no contact information for the people giving the release, another problem. Jkelly 21:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think that they were just granting permission to Wikipedia to republish with credit, but here is their e-mail addresses. John King (of www.transporthistory.co.uk) is JKing77189@aol.com, and Ian Armstrong (of www.busesatwork.co.uk) is ian.armstrong43@ntlworld.com.--sonicKAI 22:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
If it is the case that they are offering Wikipedia only a license to republish with credit, the images would still need to be deleted, because we do not accept that, but I would feel less of a sense of urgency about it. Can you please, please send the email that you have stating such a release to permissions AT wikimedia DOT org so that I can try to figure out what has gone wrong here? Jkelly 22:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Do not upload any more images until this is worked out. If you continue to upload these images, I will block this account. Jkelly 22:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notable bus articles

edit

A lot of bus articles have been made recently that are not notable to be worth keeping. So I made this page to tell people if a route should have an article or not. Feel free to edit it or tell what you think. Unisouth 18:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Buses WikiProject

edit

I notice that you have edited lists of bus routes recently. You might be interested in helping with the new WikiProject buses, especially the proposed Bus route list guide. We are also working out when a bus route should have its own article and other issues. --NE2 15:33, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
