Proposed deletion of Algarve United F.C.

The article Algarve United F.C. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:FOOTYN, I can't find any evidence at RSSSF that the club have participated in a national competition (i.e. the Portuguese Cup). I don't see anything to indicate wider significant coverage for anything that would satisfy GNG.

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.

Orphaned non-free image File:AlgarveUtd.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:AlgarveUtd.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).

Invitation to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RFPP request for Peace line

Hey Grunners, I just wanted to let you know that Ymblanter and I have responded to your RFPP request. I've closed it as not actionable at the moment. The general feel I have about page protection implementation on the English Wikipedia is that it's generally intended for more overwhelming cases of disruption (though of course, there are exceptions). I think I'm more liberal than some administrators when applying protections but try to stick to what I feel is the general consensus on dealing with disruption, hence my decision here. Feel free to ping me if this happens again after a warning, and I'll be happy to issue a block (or a protection if the IP hops). Best, Airplaneman ✈ 21:31, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Grunners! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Mary Raine (football), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbchistoryresearch/entries/a9b9991f-dbef-4ff3-93ce-e2d520b9e61f, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License (CC BY-SA 4.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:Mary Raine (football) and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-enwikimedia.org".

Speedy deletion nomination of Mary Raine (football)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mary Raine (football) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbchistoryresearch/entries/a9b9991f-dbef-4ff3-93ce-e2d520b9e61f. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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. – dudhhr^talk_contribs^she_her 17:23, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Cyril Butcher into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

Grunners, I've blanked and listed George Swan Nottage too, where you seem to have copied material from here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:39, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also Thames21. I have to ask, do you think there may be other articles where you have copied non-free material into our project? If so, it'd be helpful if you'd start going through your contribs, and making a note (here on this page) of any such oversight, so that those pages can be deleted or cleaned up as necessary. You're in a far better position to do that than anyone else, your help would be appreciated. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Conversica logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Conversica logo.png. 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).
