File source problem with File:0030 1949 train along pier2.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:0030 1949 train along pier2.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 Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:21, 25 August 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. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- I think this is resolved now - source description added to file, and email thread with photographer forwarded.

Category:English district articles with deprecated infobox
There appears to be some confusion over the definition of what constitutes a UK place. Might I suggest not taggig major settlements and cities with Category:English district articles with deprecated infobox, until this has been resolved. Thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 06:08, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I've just added a copyvio tag on the Parracombe article which relates to the article you created back in 2006 & feel I should explain. I created a new article for St Petrock's Church, Parracombe (as I'm working through the churches at Churches Conservation Trust without articles). I copied some text from the Parracombe article & a bot immediately tagged it as a copyvio from the Everything Exmoor web site. I don't know if you took it from the site or whether Everything Exmoor has copied the wikiepdia page, thertefore I've rewritten the church article and tagged the Parracombe article for further investigation.— Rod talk 19:48, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for revising the article - I'm not sure of the procedure & whether we have to wait for an admin to look at both articles before removing the copyvio tags.— Rod talk 20:53, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Flemish Farm
Hi - thanks for adding a filming location to the page of this film. I think you may be right in that it has at least two titles. I videotaped the film from ABC (Australian) television some years ago - it was simply called Flemish Farm. But the theme music by Ralph Vaughn Williams is titled The Story of a Flemish Farm. So there you go!
I have no idea if it's available on DVD. I haven't enquired in Australia. I'm about to put mine onto DVD. It's not a bad film, but of course none of the actors look or sound Belgian. --Robert Fraser (talk) 06:41, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for making the changes. Well done. Feel from to improve the page. --Robert Fraser (talk) 11:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- done - split into two as indicated above. Lynbarn (talk) 00:40, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
The article Parracombe/Temp has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- month-old duplication of main article
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Pgallert (talk) 08:34, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I thought this would have already been removed - it was created to deal with a perceived copyvio which has now been resolved, and the contents of this page used to populate the original. Thanks for advising me, and by all means delete the pagae ASAP. regards, Lynbarn (talk) 09:46, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- No problem. I cannot delete it myself, but after the {{prod}} template has expired an administrator will attend to it. Cheers, --Pgallert (talk) 07:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
