License tagging for Image:Linton signpost.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Linton signpost.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Wetherby

Hi. Could you clarify why you tagged this article for speedy deletion? Natalie 01:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see. In the future, don't use the db tags, because they flag the article to be deleted entirely. If the speedy deletions are backlogged, a busy admin might not notice that the article is fine, but there are problematic revisions. You can post a request on the administrator's noticeboard, or send an email to requests for oversight. However, we generally don't delete revisions, even if they are defamatory, unless the subject of the defamation requests them - revision deleting is usually reserved for personal information like phone numbers, email addresses, etc, that would be harmful if they were visible anywhere on the sight. I think the feeling about defamation is that by deleting it from the main article we have made it clear that it is incorrect information, and don't need to do anything else. But if you feel strongly about it, please do post on the noticeboard. (Sorry this took so long to reply, I signed off and went to bed right before you responded.)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Cross Gates to Wetherby Line, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page North Eastern Railway (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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.
