Laurence bamford

[edit]

The article Laurence bamford has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Rodney franklin, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Rodney%20Franklin.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.

Laurie Bamford

[edit]

Hi there. I can believe that this person might be a significant figure among numismatists; however per the verifiability policy and notability guidelines, this needs to be demonstrated with reference to reliable sources. Are there books or magazine articles which discuss his contribution in detail? If so, could you cite them; otherwise it's quite likely that the article will end up being deleted again.

Image permission problem with Image:Robbie Vincent.jpg

[edit]
Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Robbie Vincent.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 10:22, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:1934 George V 'wreath' Crown (reverse) UNC.JPG

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:1934 George V 'wreath' Crown (reverse) UNC.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Although Abingdon is now in Oxfordshire, before the 1974 boundary changes it was part of Berkshire. Therefore, it is crrect to refer to it as Abingdon, Berkshire. There are actually lots of places where this sort of thing applies. For example, Liverpool, which used to be in Lacashire.

Speedy deletion nomination of DJ Froggy

[edit]

A tag has been placed on DJ Froggy, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Elicitfungi (talk) 15:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Sugar Minott, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--Michig (talk) 13:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Sugar Minott. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Michig (talk) 17:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Material added was sourced from verifiable sources. We are confused as you appear to be hell bent on deleting our edits to this musician who died yesterday. Perhaps you could elaborate on verifiable sources as we offered two sources to the edit.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandtplatt (talk • contribs)

They're not reliable sources. One's a blog and the other isn't a recognized reliable source. See WP:RS.--Michig (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you have a point. However, Sugar Minott was a relatively unknown reggae singer. It is therefore unlikely that 'reliable sources' will report on this as many in the reggae community are already aware of his death. BBC news (which is a reliable source), for example, may never report on his death. You have perhaps become a little zealous with 'sources'. Sometimes, main TV/News/Broadcasters do not report on everything. Your comments on this would be appreciated.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandtplatt (talk • contribs)

I would disagree about Sugar Minott being relatively unknown. The Jamaica Gleaner and Jamaica Observer will certainly report his death, and I would expect several British newspapers to also report it. We had the same situation with both Alton Ellis and Byron Lee with 'reports' of their deaths on the internet days before they actually died. This is why we need to wait for reliable sources, and not just assume that blogs, gossip sites, etc. are checking their facts properly.--Michig (talk) 18:25, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am a little confused with your interpretation of Sugar Minott's death. You mention the two Jamaican newspapers although, strangely, you seem to imply that he is still alive i.e. "when it happens" and to suggest that such artistes are only 'officially dead' once such newspapers report on the news. I would argue the point that you make in that more closely related Jamaican-based websites (not necessarily 'blogs') would be more prolific about such an artiste's death rather than the official NBC/BBC etc. news. And, I am afraid you are wrong about 'relatively unknown' as he clearly is otherwise the larger news organisations would have reported his death far sooner.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandtplatt (talk • contribs)

unless he's still alive or his death has yet to be formally announced. See WP:RS - it would be useful if you could read this. We don't treat blogs and gossip sites as reliable, particularly not for details such as this. Please also sign your posts.--Michig (talk) 19:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's always interesting to continue to discuss issues such as these and I am sure you have your opinion. However, in order to offer an un-biased view I believe you should be less aggressive in your responses. I was not happy with your note telling me to sign my post. I also note that Yahoo News have now reported on Sugar Minott's death and the article has now been correctly amended.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandtplatt (talk • contribs)

You should read and try to understand WP:RS. Then you might understand why we can't have articles stating that people have died until we have reliable sources. You've been asked before to sign your posts, maybe you should start doing it, if you're not happy with people reminding you about it. If you don't, nobody can tell where your comments end and other people's begin. Yes we now have a decent source. Shame people couldn't have waited until it existed.--Michig (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One other point. Sugar Minott was British. There would be no reason to report such a singer's death in the Jamaican publications that you mention and upon checking the two publications, there is NO mention of the singer's death whatsoever. May I suggest you get your facts right before commenting on this issue. Your statement regarding the premature reporting of the singer's death was not only inappropriate, it also offended many followers of the singer who clearly knew he was dead on the appropriate 'reggae-based' sites. Please don't get worked up over 'decent sources'. You clearly have an issue with wikipedia's reporting. We have been writing articles on the site now for many years and don't need someone to remind us what to do. All our articles/amendments are properly sourced before editing.

Surely you're joking? Unbelievable.--Michig (talk) 06:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The write up has now become confused with foreign language input - not sure what has happened here - any ideas?

This seems to have been sorted out - looks like someone did a cut and paste from a foreign-language site and it was later reverted. I've added refs from the Jamaica Observer and the BBC, by the way, both of whom reported his death today, despite your doubts. I'm sure they would have reported it sooner if they had thought the rumours could be trusted.--Michig (talk) 16:05, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are right on all three counts. However, the BBC article is quite minor and one has to search for the news item in the search bar. I was surprised, as we all were, that his death was not 'officially' reported sooner.

I was confused over Minott's birthplace. According to my Guinness Book of British hit singles, it states that Minott was a UK singer. Clearly, according to most articles, he appears to be from Jamaica. Therefore, your refs would be justified. Why does it state that he was a 'UK Male Vocalist'? - page 186 British Hit Singles 8th edition. It cites two recordings, one called, "Good thing going (we've got a good thing going)" which was his biggest hit released 28 March 1981 (RCA 58) and made number 4 in the BBC Top 75 singles chart. His second recording was entitled, "Never My Love" released 17 October 1981 and reached number 52 (RCA 138).

He was Jamaican but spent a lot of time in the UK in the 80s, becoming hugely popular among reggae audiences, hence his status as a major reggae star in both Jamaica and the UK.--Michig (talk) 17:05, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks for that, although for a major reggae star his write up seems very short?

Victor Winding

[edit]

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Victor Winding. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I did. My source is the book called 'Who's who on Television'. Victor played many 'bit' parts in television series back in the 1960s and 1970s and it is from this publication that I have derived the information given on Wikipedia. The book was published by Independent Television Publications Limited who were based at 247 Tottenham Court Road, London in 1970. It was sold as a TV Times extra for 4 shillings (now 20p).

Nomination of Laurie Bamford for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Laurie Bamford 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/Laurie Bamford (2nd nomination) 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 high-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 notice from the top of the article. StAnselm (talk) 09:12, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Laurie Bamford

[edit]

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 Laurie Bamford, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. StAnselm (talk) 09:14, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • None of the other admins that dealt with the page are still on Wikipedia, but in any case I'm willing to userfy the article if you want. However my request is that you run this via WP:AfC since there is a huge issue with notability as far as Wikipedia's guidelines go. I did a search and while it does look like he is known within the coin collecting world, this didn't really translate into coverage that Wikipedia would consider usable. I also have to ask that you not try to get around AfD deletions like this again, as it looks like this was your second time trying to get around the article's deletion. DO NOT do this again. If you disagree with an article's deletion the proper way to handle things is to talk to the deleting admin and if they decline, to go through deletion review. AfC is also an option, although ideally you would have made some different changes to the page other than linking to the places you did. (Offhand the sources are unusable since this is just a fan site, as is this one, this is an auction site, and this is a club website. None of them would be considered a WP:RS as they have no editorial oversight and in the case of the auction site, it's a merchant website.) Just restoring the page "as is" is not only seen as disruptive and even a bit deceitful, but it can also lead to you getting blocked from editing - and if you do this again and I catch wind of it, you will receive at least a temporary block from editing. The reason I'm being this strict is because it looks like you did this at least once before, but it was more quickly detected. You've also been back to the page to edit it as recently as July 1, so you should at least be passing familiar with the various notability and sourcing issues posed on the page.

I feel Jeanie Lambe needs recognition as she has recorded a number of LPs as a jazz singer, having also worked with Danny Moss as a duet. She was a prolific jazz singer on the UK circuit in the 1960s and 1970s and has also appeared on the BBC's 'Sounds of Jazz' programme broadcast in the early 1970s and introduced by Peter Clayton.
