User talk:Phil Wardle

Thanks for uploading Image:Lindisfarne Bay.jpg. I just wanted to compliment you on the image, and encourage you to continue to upload any useful photos you have. You might also want to consider uploading them to the Commons so that all of the projects can access them. Again, great picture! --Hetar 05:36, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Phil, "the Commons" that I mentioned earlier is what is officialy known as the Wikimedia Commons. It is run by the same non-profit company that runs Wikipedia, and its sole purpose is to host all types of free media (mostly images if I remember correctly). The Commons is useful because once you upload an image there, it can be used on the English Wikipedia, the Spanish Wikipedia, or any other language project, all via the same image name. Here are some links with more info:

Do feel free to let me know if you have other questions or if I can help out in any way. --Hetar 06:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added text and photo

Finally got around to adding some info and a photo. Will endeavour to improve my user page in the coming days.--Phil Wardle 06:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pocket cruiser

I just got around to looking at the high res picture of the Nautilus you uploaded, and was really suprised to see that it had an inboard motor. Do you know of any other pocket cruisers like that? scot 22:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Pocket Cruiser yachts of around 20'LOD that come with an inboard diesel are quite scarce here in Tasmania. Most small yachts here use outboards, even boats of up to 30' often have them. The inboard diesel was a major selling point for me when I bought the Nautilus, as I truly hate outboards of all types and refuse to ever use one again. I love diesels however and my little 8hp Yanmar has powered me through some atrocious weather for hours on end (60knots plus winds) and got me home safely every time, all the while using very little fuel.

There are some pocket yacht designs that use inboard diesels, either as standard, or at request, but they are rare; Selway Fisher designs in the UK feature some small yachts that can be fitted with diesels for instance. I suppose the fact that so many pocket cruisers are designed to be trailerable precludes the extra weight of a diesel in many designer's minds.--Phil Wardle 06:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have started a talk page on this vital issue. --Phil Wardle 01:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Phil Wardle with uilleann pipes.jpg

Hi. When you uploaded Image:Phil Wardle with uilleann pipes.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 09:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
