[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:28146291 Shieldshrimp.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:28146291 Shieldshrimp.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial use of Image:Flag.GIF
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Flag.GIF, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Flag.GIF has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.
If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.
If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.
If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Flag.GIF itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. CSDWarnBot 18:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notability of NYSRP
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on NYSRP, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because NYSRP seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting NYSRP, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Experimental edits
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
[edit] Image source problem with Image:Ulrika6.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ulrika6.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Genisock2 23:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed deletion
[edit] British Union Of England, Wales and N.Ireland
A {{prod}} template has been added to the article British Union Of England, Wales and N.Ireland, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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 endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Russ (talk) 13:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What's the point?
I have just removed your novel division of Swansea into "districts" from the Swansea article. In the past, you have also spent some time trying to give Fforestfach the new name of Voorstad van Fforesfach (your typo), establish Gowerton Comprehensive as a member of the Russell Group, proclaim the motto of Swansea as "practiso makes berffaith", and more. I start to think that the Fforestfach "flag" contributed from an IP address was also your contribution. Your contributions under this account have been along these lines for a month now. Please stop it. It's vandalism, and vandalism can get you blocked. Telsa (talk) 17:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
(Replie Edit by Jack4740) Actually if you took the time to look and read the article I wrote you'd know why Fforestfach was called Voorstad van Fforestfach, do you want to know why?, because there has been a lot of Dutch immigration into the area in the past 50 years or so,and you want to know why i know that? because a lot of my friends grandfathers were dutch and my grandfather was dutch. Voorstad van Fforestfach is'nt it's new name at all,it is it's name translated into dutch that's all and I think it's relevant to make it known that dutch people live here because my friend,there is very little welsh decent that currently lives here now and there is a lot of Dutch speakers.Plus I am not willing to let a page of information about Fforestfach(where I actually live by the way) just be dominated by the fact that Tesco's Extra moved here and that there has been a drop in Swansea City Centre's visits since park Fforestfach was built right?.I don't know if you actually know or anything but there was actually life before Tesco's Extra, so just because your Welsh does'nt give you the right to judge or change an area which you probably don't even live in, or know about.How about one day you come to Fforestfach, ask a few people there middle names and what there Grandfathers were called and they certaintly won't be English or Welsh.
- There's two points here. First, Wikipedia cannot include stuff just from personal information. Everything on here has to come from good references. So even if you know something for a fact, you have to be able to point to somewhere reputable and authoritative as a reference before it goes into Wikipedia. (Yes, when it comes to things that seem obvious, or that are very recent, this is a pain in the neck.) For more on this, there are two policies: Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability; and one guideline: Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
- Second, I agree with you that the page is dominated by marketing-speak and reads like an advert for brand names. Most of it should be tagged as unreferenced and removed if nothing is found to support it. There is plenty of local history and demographics available online and in libraries which could go in. If you want to improve it, go for it. But it must come from reliable sources, which does not include assorted grandfathers' reminiscences.
- But none of that explains your other less-than-helpful edits. Have you similar explanations for the city motto, Gowerton school, and so on?
[edit] Speedy deletion of Joseph llewelyn Thomas
Please do not make personal attacks. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

This is not a personal attack and he is a real famous person in Wales, and I have cited sources.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack4740 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 19 November 2007
- Unfortunately, your sources do not support your claims, and it appears that you are attacking a real person. Another user has re-tagged the article as an attack. Please refrain from re-creating the article without supporting citations as it appears to me and at least one other editor that you are creating an attack page.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Gowerton comprehensive 200px.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gowerton comprehensive 200px.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
