Unspecified source/license for File:Trout Flies designed by Richard Walker.JPG

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Trout Flies designed by Richard Walker.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 12:46, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Trout Flies designed by Richard Walker.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Richard Walker (angler), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BRFC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

File:The Fly Dressers' Guild Newsletter.JPG

[edit]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

However, the image is currently 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).

Information icon Hello, Adrian freer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 09:10, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as The Fly Dressers' Guild, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. The first three points which struck me

  • The sources are pretty much unverifiable - you haven't included any ISBN numbers or any other details to help track down the sources (use WP:ProveIt to help you)
  • Too many of the sources are the guild's own publications. Show it's notable (that other people have written about it, and not just a trivial passing mention) with reliable, verifiable, independent sources.
  • You keep copying chunks from the guild's website. You'll soon be blocked from editing if you continue to violate copyright. Cabayi (talk) 09:14, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to add something that people might find helpful and interesting - I am not a member of the Guild - but won't bother if you don't want me to.Adrian Freer 09:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)afAdrian Freer 09:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Adrian, I don't care whether you do or you don't. I do care that you should comply with Wikipedia's rules in what you write. That applies to any article you create.
  • Establish that the topic is notable;
  • Cite reliable, verifiable, independent sources; and
  • Observe copyright law. Wikipedia allows anyone to reuse its material. That doesn't work if you've pasted copyright material into Wikipedia.
That's not too much to ask, is it? Cabayi (talk) 10:00, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please be patient, I would have liked a little help and advice with what is needed because there are a lot of rules and regulations. Adrian Freer 13:09, 28 November 2018 (UTC)afAdrian Freer 13:09, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Stillwater Angling by Richard Walker.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Stillwater Angling by Richard Walker.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

John F Moreton moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, John F Moreton, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.Onel5969 TT me 17:30, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.
