File source problem with File:Tuns 1970.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Tuns 1970.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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog) 13:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Tuns 2010.JPG

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Tuns 2010.JPG, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --(ESkog) 13:36, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

William Clarke.jpg

Your photo of the industrialist William Clarke has somehow overridden that of his namesake, the Nottinghamshire cricketer. I've reverted it but you need to reinstate your image with a different title. Thanks. ----Jack | 21:55, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

re:Sheriff Hill

Hello, I've given this a copyedit and read over. It's very good now; a little bit of toning down in points (some of it is a little conversational/local history booky/opinionated at the moment). Other than that though, this is very comprehensive. A few more comments are on the article talk page. Well done! Bob talk 19:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

As it's currently rated as "B Class", the next stage will be Good Article status, which needs to be nominated, which you can add here. Then in about 4 months time (!), somebody will probably come along and assess it against the criteria, which I think it probably passes (except, I suspect, the pubs section which I appreciate is probably an accurate account, but it could be argued is a little too much like a travel guide!). Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to do the assessment myself as I've made edits to the page, but I'll keep an eye out for when it is reviewed. Don't hesitate to ask anything. Bob talk 12:44, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Sheriff Hill GA nomination

Hello, I've reviewed Sheriff Hill against the good article criteria and unfortunately it still needs a fair bit of work on it before it meets those criteria. There are big problems with verifiability as well as smaller problems with neutrality, both of which are core policies. Please don't be discouraged; I know you've done a lot of work on the article and there is a lot of good information there, it just needs a bit more to meet the specific criteria. You can read my review at Talk:Sheriff Hill/GA1. I would really recommend reading as many FA and GA articles on English settlements as you can, and perhaps submitting it for a peer review before a further nomination. Please feel free to ask me any questions. --BelovedFreak 13:22, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Old Mill 1922.jpg

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Old Mill 1922.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. There are several other images uploaded by you also being discussed on the same page. BelovedFreak 14:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I saw your comment at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. To be honest, I don't know if it will draw many responses, as my initial comment only had one reply. As mentioned above, I have listed the files that are hosted here at WP:PUF. I hope this can be sorted out, by no means do I want to see the files deleted, but not knowing enough about media copyrights, I had to ask for help on this. I'm pretty sure that they cannot be licensed under creative commons, as one or two of them are, it comes across as though you are the author/owner for those ones. I think the way to keep them will be either to do with them being public domain, or by you being able to verify that you have permission to use them. As I say, I don't know understand too much about copyright expiration & public domain issues. You should be able to verify written permission by going through WP:OTRS. I don't know if you can do that, or if permission would have to come from Gateshead council themselves. Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials might be helpful here. In getting this sorted, you might also want to look at the ones you've uploaded to Wikimedia commons as they also may be licensed incorrectly and may risk being deleted. I'm sorry that I'm causing you trouble here, I just want to see it sorted out. --BelovedFreak 12:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Unreviewed article

Hi, I've been reading some of your articles. By the way, the article wizard is meant for new users, and gives them some structure and guidance on creating new articles. You do not need to use this as you clealy know how to structure an article. This will avoid the necessity of getting the "unreviewed article" tag removed, as there won't be one. Of course, you are still free to ask for feedback on an article. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:25, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

GA review started

Middleton, Leeds

Do you have any more suggestions? The nominator has not edited this article for over a year but I will do what I can as I have written most of it. PS I will watch this page. J3Mrs (talk) 20:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Just to update you, I have done some work and added more information and references but may not be quite finished. I am not good at spotting my own mistakes, missing punctuation, extra words etc. I have found a good site for climate but unfortunately the rainfall section of it is not working at the minute. I may visit the 200th Anniversary gala at the railway tomorrow, weather and transport permitting, and possibly try to get some photographs. I started the article when I was relatively new to wikipedia and lost interest and returned the sources to a friend. :-( I was really cross that it had been nominated and I hadn't been informed but that's wikipedia for you. J3Mrs (talk) 10:17, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I've been over a couple of times to see how things are progressing and the article is looking much better. I am happy to keep the article on hold for another few days to allow you to complete your work and as agreed, I'll look it over again when you think it is ready. Enjoy the gala tomorrow :) Meetthefeebles (talk) 13:54, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

I've added a couple of brighter images, the sun does shine sometimes. I think you can begin though I haven't added climate but will when the site updates or when I can find some rainfall figures. J3Mrs (talk) 07:00, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Okay, well I am stuck at work all day today so will look again at the article tomorrow if that is okay with you. Meetthefeebles (talk) 09:58, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Just seen your message I've been out all day, that's not a problem.J3Mrs (talk) 16:43, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your extremely thorough review. I have never done one completely by myself so I am pleased I eventually got my act together. Thank you for your earlier forebearance.J3Mrs (talk) 14:29, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

No problem, and well done again for getting the article up to speed (especially as you were not the nominator) Meetthefeebles (talk) 14:37, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I have never done a review and looked at Deckham. Do you know it has the word "suburb" five times in four lines? I am not going to do the review but I would copyedit out the repetition and redundant words if you like. Writing in the WP:summary style is difficult but I have had a good tutor and it's not easy when you are the sole contributor. Just an offer, turn me down. J3Mrs (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Sure, fire away. No-one else ever edits any of the articles I write: the WP:NEE project is moribund to the point of death so all of 'my' articles involve me and me alone. A second viewpoint is always helpful Meetthefeebles (talk) 15:42, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I've read through it and my initial reaction is you have collected so much info but wrapped it up in far too many words. When I'm writing I try never to use also, both, prior to, in fact the last dozen or so points here are really important. If you don't like what I do just tell me to go away. There is so much good stuff in among the words. J3Mrs (talk) 17:23, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

What do you think? Sorry I keep being interupted. J3Mrs (talk) 18:15, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks good so far. Feel free to continue (I am simultaneously making some changes to the same article) and thanks for your help on this Meetthefeebles (talk) 18:20, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

If I change the meaning just revert, you're picking it up quickly. J3Mrs (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I've gone through it once but it needs someone to find my mistakes :-) Just so you know, only link once in the article, there was a lot of overlinking. You don't need to constantly refer to the name or "the suburb", that's understood, the whole article is about Deckham. I did exactly the same as you when I started but was lucky to be helped by the Greater Manchester project. If you've worked alone it's always a good idea to get the article copyedited. I quite like copyediting, I find it oddly theraputic and if you want any doing give me a shout. J3Mrs (talk) 20:56, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Bradwall GA Review

Many thanks for taking the time to go through the article on Bradwall, and proving some very useful feedback for the GA Review. I will have a read through in due course, and hope to be able to make the necessary improvements. I might be back for some suggestions! Thanks again, --Iantresman (talk) 19:17, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment and offer of feedback, will let you know in due course (may be several days) --Iantresman (talk) 16:55, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I've been through all your suggestions, and updated my Bradwall GA Progress page. I've added comments where appropriate, and where I remembered, a link to the diff showing any changes. I think we're another step in the right direction, but if you still have the energy, I'd welcome any more suggestions. Thanks again. --Iantresman (talk) 15:11, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, I won't hold you to any schedule, when you're you're busy. Hope it all goes smoothly. --Iantresman (talk) 16:24, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

No problem at all, and thank you again for putting all your effort into the earlier review. Misplaced Pages can indeed be quite exasperating sometimes, and what with work commitments, a Wikibreak is sometimes what's needed. --Iantresman (talk) 19:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Gateshead Stadium

I've never found any decent free photographs of the stadium itself, but AdamKR does have some photos of young athletes competing in the stadium on flickr. Don't know it that is of any use or not. Thanks. --Kafuffle (talk) 21:50, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Montpelier, Brighton

Hi – I've attempted to cover the points you raised, although I have been more successful with some than with others. I may have a brief chance to look for/add more info in the next couple of days, but will be struggling thereafter as I am moving house. Please have a look at my recent additions and advise if there are any other significant gaps I should concentrate on. Many thanks, Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 18:51, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Your question at WT:GAN

I think what's happening is that editors aren't realising you're quoting the exchange we had during the review, and are instead thinking that we're arguing in your thread. Maybe if you put it in a quote box or something? Malleus Fatuorum 03:03, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

I think so too, so after some difficulty (I am dreadful at this sort of thing) I have put the original discussion in a big box... Meetthefeebles (talk) 11:30, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Ravensworth

Yeah, it seems like a very thorough review and it's completely overwhelmed me as I've had other things crop up that I need to do. If you complete the review that will still be helpful, as I will complete your suggestions at a later date. There is just much more that needs doing in the article than I originally expected. Farrtj (talk) 18:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I feel a bit bad about it, given how thorough your review was. But like I said, your suggestions will be implemented, just at a later juncture. Farrtj (talk) 18:27, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:The ScareHouse/GA1

I was the editor overseeing this as it was written, so I can clarify one thing: Margee is a volunteer staffer at TS, and her article was a TS initiative. Unfortunately, I hear that the TS owner dislikes free licenses, so the IIRC the "plagarized" text was originally supposed to be freelicensed, and I guess he never did it. As such, I am afraid the plagiarized text needs to be removed or at least tagged with one of the copyvio templates; maybe this will motivate the TS people to adopt a free license. Ditto for the images, there is an official TS flicker channel with a lot of better images (w/out the ad-like logo), but they are still not freely licensed. Sigh. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:33, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback on the page, the writing I did for the wiki page was actually adopted for their 'behind the scenes' page, so same author. I'll address the points you brought up today. --Margee Kerr (talk) 12:28, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Smooth Radio

Just wanted to say thanks for passing this. It's great news. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:55, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again. I hadn't originally planned to take this to FAC as I wasn't sure whether there was enough material for that, but I've been quite surprised by how much stuff there is during my research, so I think it's definitely worth a shot. I'll open a peer review this evening and see how it goes. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 19:27, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Bill Shankly

Hi, Meetthefeebles. Thank you very much for the review and for promoting the article to GA. I will withdraw now as I consider my work on here is done but I hope the Liverpool Task Force will pick this up and take heed of your advice which could hopefully enable the article to reach featured status. Thanks again and all the very best to you. --81.132.89.114 (talk) 13:26, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, have you forgotten about the Apocalypse (Six Flags America) review you were doing? All the issues were fixed over a week ago.--Dom497 (talk) 22:46, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry I rather disappeared at the back end of this one – I was got unexpectedly snowed under with urgent work which meant that this place had to take a back seat for a while. I'm glad to see that the article has now been promoted; congrats to all involved. Meetthefeebles (talk) 22:02, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Gateshead International Stadium

I think the article has a reasonable chance of passing at FAC, and would encourage you to try nominating the article. So that you have the best possible chance for success, I strongly recommend getting a copy-edit pre-FAC. A good copy-editor can help you spot jargon (important in sports articles) and clean up any remaining glitches. The person who I would recommend asking for help is User:Sarastro1; he is probably our finest sports writer, but is not so familiar with the sports in question to miss confusing elements. Get him on your side and a nomination will be much easier. If he's too busy to copy-edit, you can always check WP:FAC and see if any copy-editors appear to be having a positive effect on a given article. As for the bit you are having trouble citing, I suggest simply removing it. If your article has any chinks in its armor, FAC's reviewers will find them. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Copy-edit

No problem, although it may be a day or two. Ping me if I haven't done anything by Monday. Sarastro1 (talk) 11:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Before I get started, there is one little issue. The word "stadium" is overused a little, particularly in the lead where it is used 8 times in the first paragraph. While it is unavoidable when naming the stadium, perhaps some synonyms (e.g. "venue", "site") could be used to add some variety. Sarastro1 (talk) 23:53, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I agree it's tricky! I'll hopefully start to look properly later today, and I will add any questions to the talk page rather than the peer review so that we are not getting mixed up. Sarastro1 (talk) 12:07, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Sheriff Hill

Hi Meetthefeebles, I'm beginning the copy-edit you requested for the above article at the GOCE Request page. Please feel free to contact me, and to correct or revert my changes if I'm doing something I shouldn't. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 19:43, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Just to inform you that on the image http://en.wikipedia.org/File:P4020179.JPG (Housing in the Egremont Estate), a couple of car licence plates are clearly legible. I'm unsure of WP's policy but it might be prudent to obscure them for privacy reasons. I'd do it myself but I can't replace the current version. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:36, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Done - feel free to contact me about any issues arising from the copy-edit, and good luck with the FA nomination, though I recommend a Peer Review beforehand. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:06, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
