User talk:Owen spencer

The article Arch Soc-cer F.C. 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) 12:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote: "My question: Is there a way I can build a page over time (eg a couple of weeks) without it going live? I just want the chance to do a full page before its deleted out of hand." Yes. The way to do that is to create the page in your userspace, such as User:Owen spencer/Arch Soc-cer F.C., and to work on it there until the article includes reliable independent sources (see WP:V) that show the club's notability (see WP:ORG). I will caution you that clubs below Level 11 of the English system, amateur clubs, Sunday League clubs, and youth clubs are generally not considered notable.

Image copyright problem with Image:Badge new.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Badge new.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 in 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 STBotI. 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. STBotI (talk) 10:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved Owen spencer/Sheepbridge CC to User:Owen spencer/Sheepbridge CC

I believe this is what you are intending to do, without the User: at the front this puts the article into mainspace, not userspace. –– Lid^(Talk) 11:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Youre right - thanks

Image copyright problem with Image:Crow2.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Crow2.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? cohesion 02:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:RichardLonsdale.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:RichardLonsdale.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:22, 17 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 23:22, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I have made some additions. Is that sufficient?

Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Owen spencer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you have done so far on Richard Lonsdale. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Manual of Style

They're kind of text heavy but you can get a good idea of what they're about by giving them a quick skim through.

It's also useful to others if you sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question.

I do a lot on events and people related to the Battle of Arnhem and I noticed your work on Richard Lonsdale. Very good and thorough, but I was wondering what you might be using as a source? You'll probably need to add the texts in a bibliography section and include some more footnotes, or someone may come along and add all sorts of unwelcome tags to the article. Feel free to ask me if you need any advice on this. By the way, I've also reworked the links in Robert Henry Cain, it isn't necessary to have two links to the same article in one line. But I have included links to Lonsdale in several other Arnhem related articles. If you click on "What links here", in the bottom box of the toolbar column on the left of the page, you can see other articles.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Again, welcome! Ranger Steve (talk) 15:47, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Having paused for breath, I can appreciate it might look as if a few of us have literally taken over the article you created. I apologise if it seems like we have, I can assure you we didn't mean to take control of it or anything nasty like that – we just kind of get into these things I'm afraid! Anyways, I've put the article up for Did you know, so you might get to see your work on the front page soon. The entry I've suggested is here, if you wanted to suggest a different hook, and for info, you can nominate any new article you create or significantly expand. Regards Ranger Steve (talk) 12:55, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Richard Lonsdale

On November 24, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Richard Lonsdale, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page _{(here's how)} and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

File permission problem with File:Badge new 2.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Badge new 2.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA 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 take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file 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}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 04:56, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
