Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Salou, Spain worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  Channel ®    22:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the recent edit you made to Scotland has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. treelo talk 20:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. --John (talk) 20:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Kilmarnock town centre. treelo talk 20:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Lindsay McKenzie, you will be blocked from editing. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 16:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Kilmarnock Standard, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 21:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of The Dick Institute

A tag has been placed on The Dick Institute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. -- Mentisock 11:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Kilmarnock k54001.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

The file also doesn't have a copyright tag, so one must be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ... discospinster talk 17:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An image that you uploaded, Image:Kilmarnock k54001.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 18:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hurlfordkillie - it's nice to see your enthusiasm in adding to the Kilmarnock page and its wikilinks. I would however respectfully ask that you check to see if a section already exists (such as Burns Monument) before adding already existing information. In the landmarks section there is a wikilink to The Burns Monument page yet you have added more or less the same information to the Kilmarnock page - effectively duplicating. In a similar vein, you have created a {{Kilmarnock Cross]] page and yet it is confusing as it starts with King Street and then Portland Street and eventually Kilmarnock Cross Please don't take offence but please consider the comment with a view to improving or enhancing the pages rather than duplicating. cheers(Mccarthystumble (talk) 18:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]
