B Roads in Norfolk, Again?
Hello Ian13,
Can you have another look at Talk:B1149 road, B1156 road, B1436 road and B1149 road again, as these article seem to be under threat again from another editor. Once again it is the Notability question which has arisen. I thought that the reason for these roads to be notable had already been established but once again this is being questioned and I think there is likelihood that this editor may redirect these pages once more. stavros1 ♣ 22:35 28 September 2008 (UTC).
- The previous editing dispute which removed page content without discussion did indeed trouble me, but my actions were to prevent disruption rather than endorse a particular revision. I quote from the statement itself "The best way to address this concern is to reference published, third-party sources about the subject. If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for redirection, merge or deletion". If consensus and lack of citations favours redirection, on matters which cannot be addressed, then such action would appear valid. I hope this helps, Ian¹³/t 22:06, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Image permissions
- hi sorry for bother you.I want upload an image for make a template.(this photo).this image took by someone in www.millaj.com and he is my friend.if i ask him send an email for wikipedia and in it allow to me use that image is it enough?
which email address i have to ask my friend send permission to it? can i use that image for farsi wikipedia with that permission?-thanks alot--Hassanmirabi (talk) 12:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please take a look at WP:CONSENT for how to provide consent. It's best to upload it to commons if you want it to be usable on more than wiki, (see http://commons.wikimedia.org), but the permissions procedure is the same anyway. Hope this helps, and sorry for the belated response. Ian¹³/t 17:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Image:Ieuan Gwyllt.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Ieuan Gwyllt.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
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 ] 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

- Please don't tag images using {{non-free standard test image}} unless they really are standard test images. There's a list of available tags at WP:ICT. Most of the National Library of Wales images are public domain anyway because the copyright has expired — any that were published before 1923 should be tagged {{PD-US}}; if the photographer is more than 70 years dead, {{PD-old-70}} will do it. Stifle (talk) 13:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't see where I indicated it was a standard test image, and neither does another editor by the looks of it. Could you please clarify if you are still concerned? Cheers, Ian¹³/t 17:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Welsh Highland Railway files
Please explain your interpretation of the GFDL violation. I have explained as original creator of both, and cannot understand you refer back to something, without quoting what you mean. i.e. I could refer to the Bible, but its a pretty big book and has many points ..... see what I mean?? --Keith 11:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- As I said in my reply, my apologies, there isn't a GFDL problem with the infobox, and I have reversed my removal (as you said, you are the sole contributor to the infobox). However, if you plan to manually copy the article from one name to another over time, rather than creating one sole article and doing a history-preserving move of that page to the new name, there will be a GFDL problem, as all the contributors to the article at WHR(P) whose work has been moved will not have been credited in the history of WHHR. I hope this clarifies my concerns. Ian¹³/t 11:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Cheers Ian. What you say proves a conundrum only Wikioedia can create!! I dont really see any problem with the transfer. The main content of article on the WHR(P) file will be slightly altered to reflect the new name. The history of both files will remain, as the old file will become a redirect. The changes done by others are minimal............
HANG ON - "LIGHT GOES ON IN BRAIN" The other answer would be, come change date, to have WHHR file deleted (I could ask you to do that), and have WHR(P) file "moved" to new name WHHR, and re-edited to reflect new name. Therefore history would be preserved and a redirect created - how's this grab yer?
HANG ON - "second LIGHT GOES ON IN BRAIN" Do the WHHR delete now and within a short space of time it will be updated --Keith 11:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- So are you suggesting going with the proposed merge, whereby WHHR will become a redirect, or are you planning to do something else with it? Ian¹³/t 14:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
No No - wrong way round. Try this - (to be done in a matter of minutes) 1) Delete WHHR page 2) Move WHR(P) page to WHHR (Talk $ history move automatically) - also creates a redirect at WHR(P) to the WHHR file 3) I then bring WHHR file upto date by changing the text as required.
Your point on maintaining history is satisfied, and the need to keep the main info under the new name, rather than historic name, which becomes a redirect. (Oh and no need to keep mod'ing my talk - I check my watchlist first and note any changes on your talk page) --Keith 15:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- That sounds perfectly fine to me. Ian¹³/t 15:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- Then I ask now can you delete the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway file - I have moved the old page to my user area (just safety) and blanked it - when you have done so I will move the WHR(P) page --Keith 15:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- Because of how the admin move function works, its best to have the old page in place, and then preform the move on top, which I have done. If you need one of the deleted versions from WHHR, I will happily restore it on your user area. Ian¹³/t 15:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
quick edit conflict there - as you were typing in above, I was asking for /4 to be reinstated - albeit temporarily - 5 minutes later you can delete --Keith 15:44, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- All yours. Ian¹³/t 16:00, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Flagged Revs
Hi,
I noticed you voted oppose in the flag revs straw pole and would like to ask if you would mind adding User:Promethean/No to your user or talk page to make your position clear to people who visit your page :) - Thanks to Neurolysis for the template «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l» (talk) 07:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
User talk:DoctorIncarnate6
Hey -- so this user is saying that you are a teacher that created a group account for a class with your permission. Is this true? If so, was this discussed somewhere? Role accounts are widely forbidden; one reason is that the GFDL requires that individuals be credited with their contributions; another is so that an account can be held responsible for the actions of a user.
