Image copyright problem with Image:Hayday.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hayday.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. -SCEhardT 20:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Out Cry Fire
I copied the text from http://www.outcryfire.co.uk - the lead singer 'mat hayday' is my own brother.
History of your IP
Darren, can I just get one thing clear? I don't target people, I don't hold grudges and I don't take revenge - I'm not that type of person. The reason why I nominated the page you created for deletion was not to single you out or to pick on you, as you suggested in the deletion discussion, it is not because I'm a heterophobic bigot (and I don't know where you first suggested that so I don't know why you're apologising for saying it) and it is not because I thought you had vandalised my user space at some point before. I genuinely thought that your entry in the encyclopedia may not be notable enough under the guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability (people), and it was clear that you had written it yourself, which puts it under jeopardy under Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines.
However I can't just delete the article, even if I wanted to. What I did was nominate it for deletion, and the rest of the community decides whether it gets deleted or not at the deletion discussion page, which I notice you have already discovered.
Now I notice you have also discovered your user page. Every editor that contributes to Wikipedia is entitled to one of these, and can do (almost) anything they like with it, within reason. I have one of these, which you decided to vandalise twice yesterday. I normally have a lot of respect for people who are willing to stand up and represent their communities by getting elected to become local politicians, however your comments about and actions against me, when all I was doing was protecting an encyclopedia that I regularly contribute to, mean that you have now lost my respect and unless it is to apologise I don't wish to hear from you again.
many thanks. -- Francs2000 20:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well as I said I don't hold grudges, so if we ever do meet in the flesh (which is likely, seeing as I am quite heavily involved in local politics in Aylesbury) I would like to think that this can be forgotten. What about you? -- Francs2000 00:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
MP edits
Why are you deleting so much useful information? Your "minor clean ups" remove minor details - some relevant, some irrelevant - and also remove useful links. Wikipedia isn't like a conventional encyclopedia in that it doesn't need to be concise to fit into a 2x2 inch box on a page; more information on subjects is better. Take a look at some of the featured articles; all are articles with large amounts of information, allowing a reader to browse all the nuances of a topic. While hobbies may not be relevant on an MP's page, information on majorities, informative external links, and so on are certainly relevant and should not be removed. --User:Firien § 09:41, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
