Orphaned non-free media (Image:Hurricane Bar Mando Diao Album Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hurricane Bar Mando Diao Album Cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lowlands Festival Frontpage 12-08-2006.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Lowlands Festival Frontpage 12-08-2006.png. 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) 19:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Stephensons of Essex

A tag has been placed on Stephensons of Essex, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 07:27, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

RE:Essex thing...

It looked like blatant advertising to me. Sorry, i'm new to Twinkle (and Wikipedia as a whole). I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 07:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and happy editing!

Registrations

In this day and age when security risks are high, providing a list of registration plate numbers could be very useful for a terrorist. It is technically as illegal as noting aeroplane numbers. As well as this, it also makes Wikipedia look like a 'anorak's handbook. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a handbook. The same goes for listing addresses and phone numbers in this manner. Thank you for enquiring. UNI^|SOUTH 19:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

London, Tilbury and Southend Railway template

Thanks for that. Can't recall why it's on the right but it may have been done to keep it clear of the Romford to Upminster line, so I have moved it to the left and put a spacer line in to stop this from happening. Britmax (talk) 08:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I've played with West Ham and although I'm not happy with the mileage this can be tweaked. To be honest with you I usually let other people worry about the other stuff you mention. Britmax (talk) 22:17, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Orginal Research of Docklands Light Railway rolling stock

Can you find the orginal researches of Docklands Light Railway rolling stock. Can you also find some info regarding the max speed of the rolling stock as I'm having hard time pinning down that information. A passanger service agent told me the max speed of the DLR rolling stock is 100 km per hour and the fastest speed traveled is 80 km per hour. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 20:26, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Infobox bus transit and Stephensons

I've just realised I completely forgot about this, so apologies! I have now made some changes to the infobox, by adding a new parameter for annual ridership, and putting a hidden comment in the documentation for "ridership" to show it means "daily ridership". I have also made appropriate changes to the Stephensons edit. Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 09:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Selwyn JCR/MCR/SCR presidents

I am sorry, I should have been clearer about this. First of all, there are no fields for the JCR, MCR or SCR president in the infobox template which is why I removed the empty fields in the first place. The reason why these fields do not exist is that this information is, in general, not notable. And that is why I removed your edit. I hope this makes sense. — Richie 22:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
