Mark Templeton
[edit]Hi, I noticed that you're creating articles about albums by Mark Templeton. Unfortunately, you're linking to 'Mark Templeton', who isn't an electronic music artist. Generally music articles have a hierarchy, first the artist, then the albums if they're notable enough, then songs. So is there an article about your Mark Templeton? Check out Help:Piped link for a way to fix the links if there is, or (of course) create 'Mark Templeton (electronic artist)' or whatever the best title would be. Regards, Darkspots (talk) 04:37, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
- Nice article. Darkspots (talk) 18:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Category sorting
[edit]See Wikipedia:Categorization#Category sorting. Biographies should normally use {{DEFAULTSORT:}} to sort by surname. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit]If the image is licensed as such, then a fair use rationale is not needed. Why do you believe it is? J Milburn (talk) 23:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- I just didn't notice the licensed under cc until now. ...just a newbie here... So, I'm getting mixed up. The image looks like it is up right now, did you delete it? Did you undo the deletion? I've been going back and forth between pages and I think I'm starting to go cross-eyed, so if I did something wrong, then please explain. Thanks : )
your user page re created as article Early Morning Migration
[edit]User pages do not belong in article space. As such, I have nominated it for speedy deletion. Beeblebrox (talk) 08:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- OK, I think I see what you were trying to do now. Beeblebrox (talk) 08:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Irish wolfhound reference: armoured men!?
[edit]Dear CGS, is this, see your last link, <<The hounds were used as war dogs to haul men off horseback and out of chariots and there are many tales in Irish mythology of their ferocity and bravery in battle.>> supposed to be a verifiable source for these dogs pulling *armoured men* off horseback? I would cautiously suggest it is misplaced as a reference for that, and most probably mythology. The IW History really requires some solid history, such as a description on the recorded work of Graham to recreate the modern breed, and less myth. Best wishes --Richard Hawkins (talk) 15:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for the note: I agree, the history of Graham should be included. Perhaps you could write this? The citation was to support the IW's activities in medieval battle - perhaps the original contributor of the phrase ought not to have specifically used the word "armoured", in which case you or I or some other Wikipedian may opt to remove it. The IW's active engagement on the field of battle, however, is consistently portrayed in practically every IW history. The fact that Celtic culture was mainly recorded through verbal history and oral tales does not necessarily relegate its history to mythology. I will endeavor to add further citations to the article to improve its credibility. Canadian Girl Scout (talk) 21:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC).

File copyright problem with File:Covered bridge Warner.JPG
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:Covered bridge Warner.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 uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

We need more Canada :)
[edit]The more Canada on Wikipedia, the better :) Vive le Canada! (I only say that because I love French, not because I support Quebec independence.) --Dpr (talk) 13:47, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ✔Tea time 02:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Canadian Girl Scout! Women around the world who edit and contribute to Wikipedia are coming together to celebrate each other's work, support one another, and engage new women to also join in on the empowering experience of shaping the sum of all the world's knowledge - through the WikiWomen's Collaborative.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
[edit]Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
The file File:Fallen antlers chandelier.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
orphaned file, no foreseeable encyclopedic use
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Porchside past tense.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Porchside past tense.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:12, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
