Nether Silton - please don't double-up refs as you have here, there is no point. To avoid link rot (WP:LINKROT) cites should be linked to a References section. Raw links in the body text give no information as to the content of a web page - if that page goes down it makes it difficult for editors to repair the link, not knowing what it was about. Please add references, linked to the References section, to other assertions you have made. Thanks. Acabashi (talk) 13:41, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the email. As you want to make running adjustments to Nether Silton for the reason you explained, I have added an "in use" temp to the top of the article. This may not stop editors editing if nothing is added after a few hours, but it will help. I will, out of courtesy, leave off adjustments and additions until 4 May, when it is likely that I will again look at the article. If there are changes by others, there will be past versions that you can access through the article's history for the purpose you mention. Cheers. Acabashi (talk) 13:39, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Roll of Honour, All Saints Church.png

Thanks for uploading File:Roll of Honour, All Saints Church.png. 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 {{OTRS 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 15:49, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Same thing applies to File:All Saints Church, Roll of Honour, War Memorial. Yorkshire Regiment Remembrance website.png and File:War Memorial, Roll of Honour at All Saints Church.png --Geniac (talk) 15:52, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
