SS Dunraven

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of SS Dunraven, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.oceanzonedivers.com/wrecks/egypt/dunraven_fin.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Mandala

Hi. Can you add more to your addition on the mandala article? I'm asking people to avoid just adding references to mandalas (as an exhaustive list of usages) but also expound what kind of usage it is and how that differs from or relates to the usages of mandala that are described already in the article. Could you add to that? Thanks! - Owlmonkey (talk) 20:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 14:49, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it unlikely that I'm alowed to tuse the image? I am on the managment commitee of Shipston RFC. We own the copyright and I have the ability to decide where to use it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cardibling (talk • contribs) 15:47, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You need to verify that you are granting permission for anyone to use this image commercially, and to make derivative works from it, by sending an email saying so to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Please quote the image name (Image:Shipston LogoSmall.jpg) in your email. Stifle (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All done, thanks for the explaination hopefully it'll all work ok now. Let me know if I need to do anything else to get the content approved. ( Cardibling (talk) 15:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC) )[reply]

There's a lot of mails to that address, but in the next day or two the team there will check that everything's in order and leave a tag on the image to confirm the permission. If there's any problem, they'll reply to you. Stifle (talk) 21:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shipston-on-Stour Rugby Football Club

I deleted the logo because it was a copyright violation. It was not marked as non-free content but as being in the public domain. Besides, it look like the original uploader's own interpretation of the logo. I have no objection to a new upload of the logo providing it passes all of the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. Garion96 (talk) 20:26, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does non-free content mean? The Wasps Logo as I mention in my first question is copyrighted but thats on wikipedia. What do I need to do to get the shipston one in the article? I created the page so its not my interpretation as I used a copy of the original image I have on my computer? Cardibling (talk) 09:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Non-free content. Basically everything not under a free content license or in the public domain. You uploaded the image and stated that you released it under the gfdl. That however you can't do, you might have re made the image yourself, but the copyright of the image belongs to the Shipston-on-Stour Rugby Football Club. See also the Wasps example you mentioned at Image:London wasps badge.png. Garion96 (talk) 20:31, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I see! If I'll reload the page following the Wasps image format then it should be ok? The image does belong to Shipston Rugby Club but I'm on the board of the club and can allocate the use of its property where I see fit...Cardibling (talk) 10:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, then you are entitled to release the image under the GFDL. But beware of all it contains. If you upload it fair use (non-free content) and the image meets all the criteria of wikipedia:non-free content criteria it should be ok. Garion96 (talk) 21:36, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of William N. Rhodes

The article William N. Rhodes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No claim of notability. Being shot down does not make him notable. Possible BLP.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
