Help. I'm new here, & have no idea what I'm doing.
The article on Edmund Blampied mentions my grandfather, Thomas McKeggie as one of EB's early teachers. I'm trying to find the source of this information. Can anyone help? (possibly Ah1954 who, I suspect wrote the article)
If I'm using the wrong method to ask this question, please point me in the right direction.

It seems some of the images I have uploaded for a biography of the artist Edmund Blampied have been marked for deletion because they are OR and CV. They have been inserted within the entry so are not orphans. When I uploaded them I gave them a wrong licence, which I have since changed to FAL, Free Art Licence. This seems the most appropriate, but I may be wrong, so any guidance would be appreciated.
I have been given permission from the Estate of Edmund Blampied to use the images, and they have provided the photograph of the artist. I can provide a postal address if someone would like to check my permissions.
This is my first submission to Wikipedia and I would appreciate helpful support while I find my way around.
- Mèrcie bein des fais pouor l'articl'ye sus Bliampid! The images may well be problematic, though. Unless the Blampied estate has had a change of heart recently, I'd be surprised if they really intended to permit distribution and commercial use under the Free Art license. Copyright works that are restricted to use on Wikipedia are currently deprecated and liable to deletion (see Template:Copyrighted). But if the permissions from the copyright owners are compatible with Wikipedia requirements, it might be an idea to quote the text of the permissions on the relevant image description pages. (BTW, IANAL!) Man vyi 18:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Would the person who added the reference please add the date of publication and publisher, so that someone could obtain the document. If it is about Blampied, then it could me moved to the bibliography. Ah1954
Stubs
[edit]Hi - you seem to misunderstand how to mark articles as stubs. For some reason you are copying and pasting a section of Wikipedia:Stub relating to the creation of new stub templates, rather than actually adding a stub template to the article. To mark an article as a stub, simply add the relevant template from the list at WP:WSS/ST - for example {{Food-stub}} or {{Artist-stub}} (or, if this is too long a list to look through, simply add {{stub}}). Please don't copy and paste the "how to" example from WP:STUB, otherwise the stubs will be lost in a non-existent category called Category:B stubs (which is what happened with Salomon van Abbé and Ernest Stephen Lumsden!) Grutness...wha? 13:23, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Could you upload the image to wikimedia commons, so that we can use it on an article on her in the Bangla wikipedia (http://bn.wiki.x.io )? Also, do you speak Bangla? if you do, can you please start an article there as well? Thanks. --Ragib 21:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit]I will upload the photograph as you ask. Sorry I don't speak Bangla but someone is very welcome to translate the article. Regards --Ah1954

[edit]Edit away! (And you still can't believe everything you read in the newspapers...) Man vyi 17:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- OrphanBot is on a bit of a rampage, ignoring fair use rationales all over the place, judging by reaction. I have removed the delete template, added a PD template to flag up your PD justification and laid out an exposition of what I understand to be your reasoning on the image talk page. Please amend as necessary if I have mis-stated your case. Man vyi 07:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- You could, if that is your claim, use the PD-stamp template to place in Category:Public domain stamp images. I'd be dubious, personally, that the Blampied estate didn't claim copyright in the artwork, though. Man vyi 08:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:EBOccupStamps1.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:EBOccupStamps1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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.
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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 14:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
You just created a page called "Create new entry". I have "moved" it, i.e. changed its title, to John Nicolson (artist), which seems the right title for it. It could do with some references. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering how to do that. There was an incorrect link from a page on Edmund Blampied to a cricketer named John Nicolson, so to solve the problem I have started work on an entry on the artist. I have added two references and will send the entry to the artist's daughter to get more information. --Ah1954 (talk) 11:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- As long as the "target" title is not in use, you can rename a page by clicking the "move" tab at the top. Then the original page becomes a redirect pointing to the new one; if that's not appropriate, {{db-r3}} at the topof the original page asks for it to be deleted. More details at WP:MOVE.

Image copyright problem with Image:Harpole & Foxberrow 96dpi.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading Image:Harpole & Foxberrow 96dpi.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NAHID 12:21, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Harpole & Foxberrow 96dpi.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Harpole & Foxberrow 96dpi.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:AtTheWingsEB.jpg}
[edit]Thank you for uploading Image:AtTheWingsEB.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. 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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free image File:A Month in the Country 96dpi.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:A Month in the Country 96dpi.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 08:09, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 6
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fine Prints of the Year (monograph series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Frank Benson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

London Magazine Editions moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, London Magazine Editions, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Replaceable non-free use File:EBOccupStamps1.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:EBOccupStamps1.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. It is a scan of an envelope in my personal collection which I uploaded many years ago. I don't really understand what you are saying. The file is replaceable in the sense that there are lots of other examples of covers with these stamps on the internet, including my web site on Blampied, which has the approval of the Estate of Edmund Blampied, here:
- https://www.threeisacollection.org/blampied/blampied_stamps.html
- If there are some words I should use perhaps you can tell me what they are? I find this whole issue to be unclear and difficult to follow, so some examples would be helpful. But if you want to delete it if you feel that's justified, then please go ahead. Ah1954 (talk) 19:03, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
