June 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Hammersoft. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 23:24, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Croeso. What can we help you with? Please, either talk to us live, with this (best), or use another {{helpme}} with a question. Thanks, Chzz ► 23:53, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Out of Context

At: User talk:C.Fred Im not going into debating about what was said etc, but I have found today such a struggle to start a page today, and then when I find someone removing an image from a page thats not published in my eyes for not enough of a valid reason then I feel it's quite harsh on myself, despite myself having permission from the owner. I understand the tough stance on editing and such on Wikipedia but I do feel that at times there is unnecessary action by editors. This article I am currently writing is not to advertise TRF but a place for its history. If this continues then I don't see the point in contributing to this place. Welshman25 (talk) 23:31, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the image was removed; ultimately I left the image in place but with a notice saying that the image shouldn't be there and providing links to the policies (especially non-free content criteria) that explain why it shouldn't be there. However, those edits involved another user entirely; the only issue I've had with your edits directly today have been the attack against User:Hammersoft. —C.Fred (talk) 23:37, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then fair enough, hardly calling someone a cretin is an attack. But I accept that. Welshman25 (talk) 23:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:No personal attacks exhorts us to comment on content, not on contributors. Calling me a cretin most certainly is commenting on me, rather than content. I've removed the image again, because it's use in the userspace is an unequivocal violation of WP:NFCC #9. When you are ready to put the article into the main article namespace, you can uncomment the image. You don't have to have it displayed in the draft article in order to continue working on the article. I understand your frustration. I once asked for an exception to developmental articles in userspace. You can see that discussion here. Unfortunately, consensus in favor of such an exception was not achieved. As it stands at this time, non-free content is not permitted outside of article space, full stop. Please do not restore the image. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 12:38, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If someone just said no images in the userspace page ... the that would have been easier. Understand that now. Thanks. Welshman25 (talk) 12:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Teh mite (talk · contribs) restored the image after it was initially deleted, so I left an explanation on his talk page, because he was the one actively trying to put it back. I'm sorry if I caused any confusion to you by not leaving a more detailed explanation here also. —C.Fred (talk) 14:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scarlets

That's fine. We just need to remember that as of the start of the 2008/09 season, the club rebranded (how bad does that sound in rugby), to the Scarlets. If a player hasn't played for the club in the last two years, then they are still Llanelli Scarlets players. Change it back if I mucked it up.

File copyright problem with File:IfanEvansWales7sEmirates2009.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:IfanEvansWales7sEmirates2009.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 03:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi have a slight problem with how to add a copyright tag in! I know the image author is Reuters. Welshman25 (talk) 08:00, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, the image will still be subject to deletion as an orphaned image, as it may not be used in any articles. I removed it from the Ifan Evans article. Images from Reuters, the AP, or otherwise taken from club/league websites are copyrighted and non-free content for Wikipedia purposes. As a rule, non-free images may not be used in articles about living people. There are some very limited exceptions for pictures of iconic events; however, Evans running the ball does not trigger that exception. —C.Fred (talk) 13:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked through images.google.com and don't see any free images; all the ones I see are from Getty Images or one of the wire services I already named. To use a picture of Evans, the image will need to be free, for Wikipedia purposes. Generally, that means a picture taken by a private individual (a fan) not working for a newspaper or wire service. The photographer needs to either place the image into the public domain or license it under a Creative Commons license that allows for unlimited derivative use with nothing more than attribution required (e.g., the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license). I think an image would add to the article; however, it has to be a free image. —C.Fred (talk) 13:23, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Rugby Forum

The article The Rugby Forum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

{{db-a7}}

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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. Shirt58 (talk) 12:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Id like to ask why is it being deleted. There is no valid reason for the deletion of the page. You have provided no reason and I feel that one is being picked upon by some of the mods. Please revise and give a better statement to why the page is being deleted. Welshman25 (talk) 21:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's pointless to delete a valid article for the sake of deletion. Especially when no reason or warrant is given. I support Welshman25's position on this topic. Rowlan (talk) 10:58, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A obvious mistake on my part. My apologies for this manifest error. See this comment.--Shirt58 (talk) 11:11, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image alignment

I wouldn't worry too much about the images not lining up at The Rugby Forum. The Wikipedia software is designed to make best use of each reader's screen space, so it will automatically scale some images smaller on narrow screens and larger on wider. Just use the default formatting and let the server do the heavy work.

Also, once the article fills out with more secondary coverage and other text, the image won't bunch next to the infobox, and that will make it look prettier. —C.Fred (talk) 18:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Free Images

Getty Images are not free; they are under copyright. There are limited uses for such images under WP:Non-free content; please read the rules very carefully, including the need to write a non-free use rationale for each article they are used in. —C.Fred (talk) 17:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aber

That's great, I'll look forward to your edits. The best I can probably help with is the way Wikipedia likes things laid out, kits etc. I'd love to see the article blossom from its poor state into a substantial article. Get in touch if you need any specific help. Cheers FruitMonkey (talk) 19:30, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Rugby Forum

How can you say that I have no knowledge of the site? I've visited it and there is very little mention of rugby league. Every single article in the "hall of fame" is about a rugby union player and not a single mention of a rugby league player. It is a rugby union forum where league can be discussed. I've yet to come across a rugby union forum that didn't have a rugby league sub-forum.GordyB (talk) 17:17, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of New York Cosmos (2010) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article New York Cosmos (2010) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New York Cosmos (2010) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. unak¹⁹⁷⁸ 20:57, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cosmos

As the Cosmos near their first match back in the NASL, I think this would be a reasonable time to resume the discussion in regard to the merger of the two Cosmos articles, if you would be interested in. Atban.3000 write me 18:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Welshman25/Enter your new article name here

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Welshman25/Enter your new article name here, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.
