Removal skepticism
[edit]Why did you remove?[1] Your edit summary was "removed content, as this should be added to Miracles of Lourdes or Our Lady of Lourdes," those "articles" are redirects. There is no need to remove that material when discussing the Sanctuary of Lourdes. C56C 06:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- The reason why I deleted this, is because the article Lourdes is about the town - sceptism should be kept to "Miracles of Lourdes" - as its an article on the sceptism of the miracles. How can you be a sceptic of a town? Matt - London 14:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- As the article discusses the Sanctuary of Lourdes. Also there is no other article about the Sanctuary of Lourdes, and so mentioning its most famous aspects as well as skepticism about those aspects is a must. The content is not about being skeptical about a town. It's being skeptical about something that has made the town famous. Arbustoo 04:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree it discusses the Sanctuary of Lourdes. However, Lourdes is a generic article about the various areas of Lourdes, and not particularly about the miracles etc - whether they were true or not. Scepticism should be placed in an article about the miracles. I have opened a dicussion on the Lourdes page Matt - London 10:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- What do you not understand? If purported miracles are going to be mention, then those who doubt those miracles will be mentioned. If you remove it again without reason, it is considered vandalism. C56C 19:46, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh my! What do you not understand? I have removed it with reason - your "doubting" miracles piece has NO relevance to Lourdes - its a generic piece about some Vatican guy. If you can find a proper critique of the Lourdes miracles then please put it up! Otherwise this should not be included, as is a separate issue. Please can you continue this debate on the "Lourdes" discussion page. Matt - London 13:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- What do you not understand? If purported miracles are going to be mention, then those who doubt those miracles will be mentioned. If you remove it again without reason, it is considered vandalism. C56C 19:46, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Eventually - something decent was written by us all about Lourdes.

Stonyhurst update
[edit]Hi,
Many thanks for your work fleshing out the Stonyhurst article. I started it ages ago, but it had rather stagnated. I was there 1972-81 - are you a contemporary of mine, or a youngster?
--Dunstan talk 18:16, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Many thanks for note - got a few more things to add, and a bit more re-working. Hope that's cool. Just added a photo too - what do you think? Also I have a new image for the front of Stonyhurst - would you like me to add and replace the other one? I am a youngster, OS 91 - 98, but studied Stonyhurst history whilst there, and since. Thanks for your note. Well done on starting the page! Matt - London 09:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- So long as the information you're adding is from sources which are out of copyright. As for images, the more the merrier (within reason), so long as they're yours. The piccie of St Peter's is slightly crooked - will straighten it up when I get a few minutes. --Dunstan talk 11:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Absolutely! Facts are from my own research - part of my PHD. Thanks for offer to edit photo.Matt - London 11:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Southarms.gif)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Southarms.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Ebu.jpg
[edit]This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Ebu.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.

Fair use rationale for Image:CA.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CA.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image copyright problem with Image:CA.gif
[edit]Thank you for uploading Image:CA.gif. 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. Shell babelfish 10:50, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Pas small.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Pas small.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.
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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. notwist (talk) 22:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Mond Grave.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Mond Grave.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia.

Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 710 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Copyright problems with Glanfield Hospitalité Trust
[edit]Hello. Concerning your contribution, Glanfield Hospitalité Trust, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.glanfieldhospitalite.com/aboutus.html. As a copyright violation, Glanfield Hospitalité Trust appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Glanfield Hospitalité Trust has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.
If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Glanfield Hospitalité Trust and send an email with the message to permissions-enwikimedia.org. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that it is licensed under the CC-BY-SA license, leave a note at Talk:Glanfield Hospitalité Trust with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Glanfield Hospitalité Trust.

Speedy deletion nomination of Living By Giving Trust
[edit]A tag has been placed on Living By Giving Trust 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 club, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Reconsider! 11:39, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- I suspect you have an interest in this organisation. My best advice is that you should wait until someone with no COI decides it is notable and writes about it. If you persist, note that the article will continue to be deleted until it includes links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:09, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- In answer to your message. I have nothing to do with this charity and not a trustee or anything, I am trying to set it up so that it's correct. Please send me the page ASAP. The Glanfield Hospitalite Trust has gone and replaced by this - its a simple change over, so there's no need for deletion.
- Although the Glanfield Hospitalité Trust article had managed to survive for three months it was equally thin on independent references. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:17, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- I promise this will be rectified. You can see my work on Wikipedia has been good in the past, so please just let us get this right.
It is not notable. Not notable! Please stop removing the CSD tag. -Reconsider! 12:24, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
It is notable Matt (talk) 12:26, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- I give up - you guys are totally unable to give things a chance. I had added lots of independent references, but then someone deleted again. I give up. Matt (talk) 12:38, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- As I said, it is not notable. The references that you added were not reliable third party sources. Please read WP:CORP. -Reconsider! 12:39, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

The article Hanson de la Haye Blackith has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unreferenced, unable to establish notability.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. WWGB (talk) 14:25, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:National Shrine of Saint Jude statue.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:National Shrine of Saint Jude statue.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair 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 fair 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 fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion 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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:31, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:National Shrine of Saint Jude statue.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:National Shrine of Saint Jude statue.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia 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. Stefan2 (talk) 16:32, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Hurst green.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Hurst green.jpg, which you've attributed to Alan Dixon. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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.

Disambiguation link notification for November 27
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited National Shrine of Saint Jude (England), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saint Albert. 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.

Jude the Apostle
[edit]Hi, I was unable to find confirmation of the statement you added to the Jude the Apostle article, "Archaeologists now believe that the tomb is situated near where the martyrdom of Saint Peter occurred" on the National Shrine of Saint Jude website. Can you point me to where this information is on the website? thanks - Epinoia (talk) 20:19, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Paragraph six under first photo. Matt (talk) 20:34, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- - the National Shrine of Saint Jude website does not mention a tomb for Jude, it says his relics were placed under an altar "directly over the spot where modern archaeological investigations suggest Saint Peter was actually crucified" - the National Shrine of Saint Jude website may be an acceptable source for the location of Jude's relics, but it is not a reliable, independent, published source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy when it comes to archaeological investigations (WP:SOURCE, WP:QUESTIONABLE) - who are these anonymous "archaeologists"? - the National Shrine of Saint Jude website, run by Carmelite friars, is not a neutral source, (WP:BIASED) - a better reliable, independent source is required to support the claim of the site of Peter's martyrdom in an encyclopedia - Epinoia (talk) 21:12, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- - Further to the claim that "Archaeologists now believe that the tomb is situated near where the martyrdom of Saint Peter occurred," the article on Saint Peter says, "In 1950, human bones were found buried underneath the altar of St. Peter's Basilica...In the 1960s, items from the excavations beneath St Peter's Basilica were re-examined, and the bones of a male person were identified. A forensic examination found them to be a male of about 61 years of age from the 1st century. This caused Pope Paul VI in 1968 to announce them most likely to be the relics of Apostle Peter." It wasn't the archaeologists who believed the bones to be Peter's, but the Pope, so the statement that "Archaeologists now believe that the tomb is situated near where the martyrdom of Saint Peter occurred" is incorrect. I have removed the incorrect statement from the article. - Epinoia (talk) 15:10, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- - so OK it's a Pope who was clearly advised by experts. Actually you are wrong - "While no Pope has ever declared the bones to be authentic, St Paul VI announced in 1968 that the “relics” of St Peter had been “identified in a way which we can hold to be convincing.”" So there should be some mention - but you are clearly not happy with this.
