Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bowers (bus company) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Misplaced Pages. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Misplaced Pages. I removed the following link(s): http://www.hayfieldbusstationderbys.webs.com/operators.htm#587856507.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Misplaced Pages's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 16:56, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Bowers bus at new mills.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bowers bus at new mills.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:06, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Tm travel.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Tm travel.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, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages: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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 19:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 19:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Bowers(bus company) logo.png

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Bowers(bus company) logo.png, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 19:49, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Bewbews 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bewbews 2.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 15:35, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Same for File:Bowers green bus 1.jpg, I'm assuming "Full ©" means it's not free-licensed. --Sherool (talk) 15:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

English

In a recent edit to the page School bus yellow, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Misplaced Pages has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Misplaced Pages articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Misplaced Pages articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. –BMRR (talk) 19:13, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Rcsprinter123

Hi Rcsprinter123. I noticed you created a Requests for Adminship page some time ago; I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. I think it's fair to warn you that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Misplaced Pages editing community sets very high standards for editors running for adminship. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Misplaced Pages:Guide to requests for adminship, User:Davidwr/Administration is not for new users, and Misplaced Pages:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today.

The Sixes

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Sixes, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.renewingthesixes.com.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Your additions of File:Sixes derbyshire map.jpg and File:Sixes logo.jpg and many other images have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:35, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Frio bus.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Frio bus.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:39, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Sixes bus.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Sixes bus.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages: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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:24, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Notts derby tp.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Notts derby tp.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Manchester Airport. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Manchester Airport, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Please don't remove the redirection and copy/paste the content from Cheltenham again. There is no need for two articles. Stephenb (Talk) 17:17, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Please explain what you are doing - it "may be "all for the best" but you are not adding any edit summary and you are merely duplicating content. This lookss like vandalism. Stephenb (Talk) 17:23, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

That's not an explanation, merely an assertion (and is wrong - it doesn't "look" better at all). I ask again: WHY are you doing this? Stephenb (Talk) 17:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

What? Please explain! I will happily take the discussion somewhere else, but you really should provide some explanation of what you are doing! Stephenb (Talk) 17:37, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Cheltenham Spa, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

Stephenb (Talk) 17:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Mouscron. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Funandtrvl (talk) 17:56, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Misplaced Pages, as you did at Cumbria shootings, you may be blocked from editing. Rodhull andemu 20:29, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

If you remove a prod tag, explain why you're removing it, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. Just blindly removing tags like that is seen as disruptive. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 20:59, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

RfA

I just reverted the edit you made to WP:RFA. You attempted to transclude a non-existing nomination—with the wrong capitalization to boot. Favonian (talk) 17:40, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

RfA

Hello Rcsprinter123, how are you? I see that you put yourself forward to serve as an administrator. That's a very tough job, and people will no doubt appreciate your offer to help. It looks like you made a few mistakes in the process and your edits to WP:RfA were reverted because they didn't work. Before you try and put yourself forward again, I'd like to ask you to reconsider. The standards required in an admin are really high these days. There are between 13 and 14 millon registered editors on Misplaced Pages; while there are around 1,700 admins. That's one-hundredth of one percent. Usually people with two year's experience and around 4,000 or 5,000 are getting to the point where they should consider becoming an admin. At the moment, you've been registered for six months and have less than 400 edits. If you applied now, you wouldn't be sucessful. Take at look at WP:NOTNOW. An admin needs quite a bit of experiencing creating and editing articles. Then they need to know about copyright policy (see WP:Copy), have experience building consensus (see WP:Consensus), contributing to policy discussions (see WP:Policy), and having experience with our deletion policy (see WP:XfD, WP:PROD, WP:CSD), and blocking policy. Notice all of these article have the prefix WP:, these are behind the scenes Misplaced Pages policy and discussion pages that people don't find under normal article searches. You've made a good start. Keep up the good work, follow some of those links and start to increase your involvement and, before long, you'll be ready for being an admin. All the best. — Fly by Night (talk) 18:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

December 2010

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles, such as the edit you made to List of bus routes in Gloucestershire. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. There is no need to sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Misplaced Pages experience! Thank you. tedder (talk) 14:03, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, tedder.the reason i keep putting my signature on that page is i created it, and it is only half-finished, and so that is there to tell visitors it is not complete. if there is a problem with this, please let me know. RCSprinter123 (talk) 14:06, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

You need to put {{Under construction}} on the page to let other editors know it is a work in progress; but if you don't edit for some hours, it will be removed. HTH. Rodhull andemu 19:05, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) There is a problem with that, I'm afraid. You should never sign articles. If you want to create a page then you can do it in your user space. For example, if you follow this red link you will find yourself on a page called User:Rcsprinter123/Sandbox. You can start an article just like you would normally and save it there. That's in your own user space, so provided it doesn't break any laws, and isn't offensive, it will stay there for as long as needs be. No-one will delete it, and no-one will edit it. Once the article's done, cut and paste it over to the article space where it will create an article for public use. — Fly by Night (talk) 19:08, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

All Misplaced Pages articles are a work in progress. Despite that, the fact remains that we are not allowed to put our signatures in articles. It doesn't matter whether you created the article or whether you're in the process of making big changes to it. A better solution is to find an appropriate Template Message and place it at the top of the page. I've gone ahead and added one to that page that I think will be helpful. –BMRR (talk) 19:13, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Also (and this is very important): please provide an Edit Summary before saving your edits. Thanks. –BMRR (talk) 19:13, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Red links

What makes you think there are no more red links? Maybe you set your skin so they are a different colour for you, but I assure you they exist for most people. S B H arris 17:12, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Other people's user pages

You're not really supposed to edit other people's user pages, and certainly not create one for another active user who you've never interacted with. Would you like to explain why you did? Alzarian16 (talk) 17:44, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Bus route articles

Most routes aren't notable enough for Misplaced Pages, with only a few exceptions. Most can be covered in list form, or merged into one article. Another site such as this one would probably appreciate your help more. AD 19:12, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Tagging of my article creations

Please find something better to do - your taggings are nothing but vindictive. AD 21:49, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Username block templates

Sorry if it seems like I'm permanently on your case, but what exactly was this all about? Not only is the user not blocked, but they haven't edited in over two years... Alzarian16 (talk) 19:02, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

And while I'm here, how do you explain giving vandalism warnings to two users whose only contributions were positive, and another who's never edited at all? I'm trying hard to assume good faith, but you're not making it easy. Alzarian16 (talk) 19:07, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Important bus routes in Derbyshire

I have turned the above article into a redirect to list of bus routes in Derbyshire. The AfD was withdrawn because you moved the list into your user space, but the emerging consensus was that the subject does not merit an article separate from list of bus routes in Derbyshire. Nev1 (talk) 17:34, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

You're going to need to discuss why you're reinstating the list. Although it wasn't open for long, the AfD was heading towards turning the article into a redirect, or possibly deleting it altogether. Why should it be kept? Nev1 (talk) 17:45, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

I only withdrew the AFD because Rcsprinter123 userfied it, so I thought the issue was over. Now I see he has not only recreated it, but requested it to be full protected to save it from being deleted... this disruption really has to stop. We have already explained that "important" is completely subjective, and the list is redundant to the main list. AD 17:48, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

If you stalk another editor and disruptively tag articles they created as you did here: you will be blocked. It was childish, petty, and clearly inappropriate. Nev1 (talk) 18:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
