Gruffydd Robert

Thanks for adding to the Welsh poetry list - how did Lewys Glyn Cothi slip by me?! - it's much appreciated. Hope you don't mind that I removed Gruffydd Robert; he's already on the Welsh authors list and isn't normally classed as a poet anyway. The (roughly) pre-1600 poet list was intended for poets in the bardic tradition or, in the case of the 16th century, who worked mainly within it. I'd do more here myself but I mainly work on the Welsh wiki, cy.wikipedia, and have more than enough work to do there, to say the least! If you fancy putting in a Stub or two...? Too much red on that list! Cheers / Hwyl Enaidmawr 23:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Janus, diolch am ateb. Your suggestion of a page for Welsh language poets 1600+ sounds good to me. It would at least provide a starting point, if only a few paragraphs on each century and as many links to existing pages as possible (not difficult!). I did pretty much all the "Welsh language authors" page as well (both that and the pre-1600 poetry list are paralelled on the Welsh site, but perhaps a bit less full here). I can only promise to put in a paragraph or so perhaps a couple of times a week, but I'll see how things go. Usually arrive here at bedtime, like now, after a few hours on the Welsh wiki. I'll try to add a few things if you get an Anglo-Welsh page going as well. Oh, I changed Dafydd ap Edmund to Dafydd ab Edmwnd on list and article (moved), by the way. Do you have access to Meic Stephens' "Companion to Welsh Literature"? That would give you plenty to go on and solve spelling problems; just name, period, place of birth and at least one bibliographical reference would be a good start on any of the red links on both lists. Well, time to call it a night I think. Nice talking. Hwyl, Fôn Enaidmawr 00:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS Don't worry too much about your knowledge of Welsh if you feel like adding something on cy.wikipedia - many of the regulars are learners and mistakes are common! Gaps all over the place in all subjects; just take your pick and try maybe a short sentence "Mae X yn dref yn Y" (X is a town in Y) plus a pic (English wiki code works for images and category on welsh wiki). Nos da!

Rhys Goch ab Riccert

Hi Janus, thanks for the work on Welsh poets. I took out Rhys Goch ab Riccert - he was an attested historical person, the ancestor of two 15th century poets, but no evidence he was a poet himself. The only reference to him is in an old genealogical chart relating to Lewys Morgannwg, one of those poets. In the 18th century Iolo Morganwg - great forger as he was! - invented a corpus of poems in his name; their authorship has long been discredited. Unfortunately many people up to the end of the 19th century took Iolo at his word - he was a gifted poet - so don't trust any reference to a medieval poet or manuscript that mentions Iolo without checking it out somewhere else. Some modern popular works on things Celtic will sometimes blithely use material derived from Iolo as well.

I feel a bit guilty as I haven't found the time to do much since I last wrote but I'll add a few things in the next few days when I get an evening to myself. Hwyl, Enaidmawr 20:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:The Dead - DVD Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:The Dead - DVD Cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Commercial use of Image:Stage at Small Thatre of Convenience.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Stage at Small Thatre of Convenience.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Stage at Small Thatre of Convenience.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Stage at Small Thatre of Convenience.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Left, Right and Centre (Nigel Kennedy and Caleb).jpg

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 File:Left, Right and Centre (Nigel Kennedy and Caleb).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.malvernfringe.co.uk/2000/20001219/p3.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Proposed deletion of File:Tomos Prys.gif

The file File:Tomos Prys.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
