Speedy deletion nomination of The Sunday Times Travel Magazine

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 The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, 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, product, group, service or person 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. G S Palmer (talk) 17:01, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Cover, May 2014.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Cover, May 2014.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:15, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May 2014

Hello, Jillsg. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. PamD 11:18, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please also remember to "sign" any contributions to another editor's talk page: the easiest way is to type ~~~~ which adds both signature and date/time. Thanks. PamD 11:24, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Writing about magazines

Have you seen Wikipedia:WikiProject Magazines/Writing guide? Might be helpful. PamD 12:27, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no, I hadn't! Brilliant, thanks!Jillsg (talk) 12:31, 16 May 2014 (UTC)jillsgJillsg (talk) 12:31, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD Hi helpful Pam! I had our cover showing on the draft page, but something happened to it over the weekend, and now it won't show and I can't get it to work. Any idea? This is the cover image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Sunday_Times_Travel_Magazine,_Cover,_May_2014.jpg And I'm trying to get it to show at the top of the infobox, as it does for all magazines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jillsg/The_Sunday_Times_Travel_Magazine Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Jillsg (talk) 12:01, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jill

Firstly, just writing "@PamD" doesn't work as well as typing "{{ping|PamD}}": the latter creates a "notification" when I go onto Wikipedia, just as editing my talk page did (so I got an alert, although you then deleted the message!).

The problem with the image is that it was "commented out" by Stefan2 in this edit on Saturday. (Ah, maybe you haven't yet spotted the "Edit history": click the button marked "History" and you can see, step by step, everything which has happened to an article, so you can identify the "something happened" by seeing which change made the image go away.) Anything between  is not interpreted by the computer, so does not, in this case, cause the image to be shown. You can add hidden comments to an article using the same "comment" mechanism.

The reason he commented it out, as he helpfully said in his edit summary ("See WP:NFCC#9"), is that the cover image is a copyright image which can be legitimately used under "fair use" in the one article about the magazine, but cannot be used in other places including the non-article version which we're currently looking at, which is a user subpage. Similarly, you can't add categories or stub tags to an item which isn't yet in "article space". You could remove the comment tags for a moment, while editing, use "show preview" to check that the image works OK, and then replace them before saving the file (or just cancel that edit rather than saving it), but you must not leave the image linked from your user-subpage version of the article.

Because "non-free" images are only allowed to be held in Wikipedia while they are in use in an article (or for one week otherwise), the file will be deleted if the article doesn't get into "article space" by Thurs 22nd. (As explained in the message above-but-one, though it's not the most comprehensible of messages for a new editor - but you could have contacted him to ask about it if you didn't understand it). There seems to be another problem in that you seem to have said that the image comes under Crown Copyright which is unlikely. It might be easiest just to leave it to be deleted and then reload it when the article is in article space, taking care about the copyright statement.

Images are complicated (as is copyright, though as a media professional you're well aware of that), but it's always worth reading the documentation: Stefan did point you in the right direction with his edit summary. PamD 12:38, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Thanks so much! You're a Wiki-hero! Copyright for words - at least in the UK - is much less baffling than the copyright options provided for photos, so I guess I selected the wrong thing. Will amend later. Thanks again! Jillsg (talk) 12:47, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've just been looking at your draft, and linked Brian Schofield (and then cleaned up a ref in his article ...), but I see you've got a lot of bold type, which is not good style (see MOS:BOLD), and also a lot of inline links to external sources. You'd do better to format them properly as references. There are lots of tutorials etc around to show you how to do this. I've just done one example (a ref used twice) to show you how, too. Over to you: you're getting paid for this, I'm just a helpful soul doing it for fun and need to go out in the sunshine and deliver some election leaflets now. Good luck. PamD 12:57, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: You are wonderfully helpful indeed! Will look at that and the copyright thing this afternoon. I've already voted (postal), so you can skip my flat with the leaflets ;) Jillsg (talk) 13:00, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
