Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Drink driving (United Kingdom), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. These edits appear to be original research to me. —Jonathan | Quality, not quantity. 14:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image

that you added to History of writing ancient numbers does not illustrate ancient numbers. Please use a different image that illustrates either cuneiform numbers or archaic (pre-cuneiform) numbers. Greensburger (talk) 22:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:SheilaWhite.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) 17:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message on my user page. I did not want to upset you in any way. I am not sure that YouTube is classified as a suitable source. Check WP:Sources. SuzanneKn (talk) 16:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article appears to be a copyvio you may wish to comment.Geni 22:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading Image:Palmisano2ndLife.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OpenSocket has been speedily deleted three times today as non-notable web content. If you are intent on creating an article, please establish WP:Notability. Creating the article again without establishing or asserting WP:Notability will be considered disruptive. Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 17:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't do this. See WP:ENGVAR. Quale (talk) 02:12, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:TDLTClogo.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Re. your adding "Dave Lawson - keyboards" to Tubular Bells, do you have any more information about this? I've never heard of him, and quite a lot has been written about the album. His website doesn't say what he did on the album (as far as I could see), could he have just been an engineer or consultant? --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 16:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say I was slightly surprised by Lawson's claim, as I have three CD versions of the album and have never seen the credit before. But Dave Lawson was a key member of the 70s band, Greenslade, who were a second-tier prog-rock band of a similar style to Camel. I'd like to see Lawson's claim either proved or refuted before the claim is removed from this entry. Can we leave it there for a week, rather than simply remove it because neither of us had heard of Lawson's involvement before? Thegn (talk) 21:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would question why the WP article specifies "keyboards" when Lawson's article doesn't name an instrument, nor specifically says he played on the album. As for leaving it up for a week, is this because you are making enquiries during this time, via Lawson's site or Oldfield's? (Oldfield has several official and fan sites with message boards.) --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 03:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent Mr. Lawson an email, and will let you know if I get a reply. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 16:41, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I got a reply! But there is a big problem. Here is what his email says:

"Thanks for getting in touch. I did not play on Tubular Bells and my only involvement with the album was through my friendship with Mike. I had recently bought a Synclavier, at that time it was 'cutting edge' technology and unsurpassed sonically. I gave Mike some of these sounds which were incorrectly titled as Fairbell samples, the programmer concerned probably re-sampled these sounds into Mike's Fairlight sampler. These ended up on the album and as they were clearly my original sounds I had felt I had contributed to the final tracks. Adrian Thomas who worked for Mike for some considerable time can verify these events."

The problem is that the equipment he mentions, did not exist in 1972/3. A very early version of the Synclavier existed sometime between 1975 and 1979; the article at WP just says 1975 but if you go to the external "history" link at the bottom, it says a computer that it was based on, was developed in 1975, and the first "Synclavier I" was created sometime later. It also says that it wasn't until the "Synclavier II", available in 1979, that it received wide public attention, and that happened in the 1980s, and even that version had mono sound; a stereo sampling version did not appear until 1984. Also, the Fairlight sampler was first marketed in 1979. I'm going to presume "Fairbell samples" means Fairlight's own samples of bell sounds, in which case I wonder if the album is actually Tubular Bells II which, as I recall, uses sampled bells instead of the real thing. I prefer not to write back to him and tell him he must be thinking of a completely different album. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 19:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, what the heck, I wrote back and told him about it. (I'll probably never get him to autograph a cover for me now!) :) --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 20:21, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Got another reply saying he thinks I'm right, and will change the album on his website. Actually, I'm not so sure I was right in saying it's TB2. If the work was done when Synclaviers and Fairlights were new, it could be an earlier album. "Long thin metallic hanging tubes" were used on "The Wind Chimes", "Amarok", and probably other songs. BTW, we can't decide whether or not to include him based on the quality of his voice. If we did that, I wouldn't be here. :) --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 20:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 298 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Thanks for uploading File:Mini-Nockers.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 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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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. Kelly ^hi! 21:33, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you wish to resume editing, it may be necessary for you to demonstrate your understanding of these policies and reassure the community of your willingness to comply. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:39, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Following the discovery of issues of copying above, I was asked to look more deeply into your contribution history. I see that you have been pasting content onto Wikipedia from various sources for many years. You have been notified of copyright policies multiple times and have obviously seen these notices, as you have removed them. (Removing three copyright cautions; removing two copyright cautions). In spite of this, you have persisted. The last article you created, Wayneflete Tower, copies content from the Wayneflete Tower, Esher, Surrey: Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results prepared by Wessex Archaeology, Ltd., published under full copyright reservation in 2006.

I'm afraid that under the circumstances it is necessary to conduct a review of your previous contributions to see what material may need to be removed for copyright concerns. You will not receive individual notice of issues found, as you had in the past, but can look at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Thegn to see what issues have been discovered and what actions have been taken.

While we certainly welcome your work to improve Wikipedia by adding new articles or editing existing ones, we cannot allow you to continue to violate the copyright policy. This policy has legal implications for our site and our reusers. Please review Wikipedia:Copy-paste and, if you are willing to follow proper policy and would like to continue contributing to Wikipedia, request an unblock. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:39, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Esperanto (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Liz ^{Read!
