I've updated the link for you on your user page. Let me know if you need any help. Pedro : Chat 10:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:G nottinghamlaserclinic logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:G nottinghamlaserclinic logo.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notingham Laser Centre

Hi. I'll move the article back to user space and see if we can work on it. It may be tomorrow before I can do this however, and my apologies. Pedro : Chat 15:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've moved the article to User:RentaCenta/NLC for the moment. Some pointers on why it was deleted to help out. Firstly you need independent reliable sources as to why the clinic is notable. For example the reference to the Mail On Sunday would look good, but I can't find any mention of Notingham Laser Centre in the article. So whilst it would be a reliable source for Dr. Kinz (mentioned in the Mail On Sunday piece) I can't see why it indicates notability of the Laser Centre. Also, the wording needs to be in a neutral tone - the opening lead "one of the UK’s most ground-breaking" is far form neutral and would need substantial third party sources (i.e. not the companys website) to be allowed to stay. Other bad bits (and the reason I deleted under WP:CSD#G11) include quickly rose to prominence and the list of services. Basically it reads like an advert. Click on blue links to learn more about our policies in this regard, and let me know if you need any help. Please let me know before moving the article back into the mainspace though. Thanks! Pedro : Chat 06:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the lead the article says The clinic has recently been confirmed as the primary Advanced Laser Lipolysis reference centre for the UK & Ireland. - have you got a reference for that at all? Otherwise it looks pretty good - certainly there is no way it would be speedy deleted as you've fixed the advertising concerns and the clinic asserts notability. I'm not sure about it surving an WP:AFD but I have no problem with you moving it back into the main space as it stands - but ideally with the lead referenced. Pedro : Chat 10:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay - as I say it might not survive an AFD but I'm happy enough for it to go back to the main space - are you okay with moving the page? Pedro : Chat 10:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed it up for you - the article is at Nottingham Laser Clinic. And yes, if you need any help at any time please feel free to ask me. Pedro : Chat 11:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Problem - just noticed the logo. It's been uploaded under GFDL - so either anyone is free to copy, modify and redistribute the logo (which I doubt) or it needs to be uploaded as non free use. I take it the logo isn't GFDL? The NLC website asserts copyright so I assume the logo is included in this copyright? Pedro : Chat 11:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only acceptable licence would be Fair Use. See here. However the image should add significantly to the article to claim fair use - which I doubt would be the case here. I'm going to delete the one we have at the moment as it's in breach of copyright. Check the link for more info on fair use stuff. Pedro : Chat 11:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted again for you. It's probably best neft off the article to be honest. And I'm more than happy that you have found the community to be helpful, and hope that this will whet your appetite to continue to work here. Pedro : Chat 11:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adding new comments

Hi there, I have noticed that you have been talking on Pedro's talkpage and you are puttnig 3= signs rather than the 2 that are required for the title. Or you can go into my preferences and you can change it so that you have a little plus button by the edit this page. If not then you can click on the new section which should be in its place. If you dont knoe what I am on about go onto pedro's talkpage and edit a section and you will see the 2= signs at the beginning of the title and the end of the title. Dont know if you know that already if you do then just ignore it. Chemistrygeek (talk) 12:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It was just an experienced editor helping a new one. Chemistrygeek (talk) 14:54, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Nottingham Laser Clinic

A tag has been placed on Nottingham Laser Clinic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You asked for "some advice on how to edit it further". Here it is: wait until someone with no {{COI}} writes it up for you. I am certainly not willing to post it to a user page since it will still be spam. I would e-mail it to you if you had the sense to set up an e-mail address. If you really think Wikipedia should have it, publish the text on your own website and raise the matter at deletion review. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Incidentally, Surgicare has now been deleted as spam also. Thanks for pointing it out. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 20:08, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
