Non-free rationale for File:Godfrey Chitalu at CAN 1974.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Godfrey Chitalu at CAN 1974.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:20, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Moses_Simwala

Hello, Ace72. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Moses_Simwala, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Moses_Simwala to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you need help doing so, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Fish ^Barking? 21:59, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Peter Kaumba.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Peter Kaumba.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:30, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Tolomeo Mwansa, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Giant Snowman 21:27, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe citations have been added now. Unless you still have a problem with the article?

Your recent edits

Hi there - you are creating a lot of biographical articles which are either poorly or completely unreferenced, which contain personal points of view, and parts of which read like they have been copied & pasted from other websites. If you need help about appropriate Wikipedia guidelines & policies - WP:BLP, WP:RS, WP:V among others - please ask. But please do not continue to create such poor articles which contravene our policies. Regards, Giant Snowman 21:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious sources

Where did you get all those "Times of Zambia" articles from 40 years ago? Cheers.--Dribblingod (talk) 09:34, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From the National Archives of Zambia, an institution which has archived documents of national and cultural interest, and newspapers from early 1930s to date. Take a trip there armed with my list of references, you will find all these newspapers that have been referred to. Cheers to you too.Ace72 (talk) 13:39, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No need to take a trip. Sent them an email. Cheers.--Dribblingod (talk) 15:24, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. There was no internet then so the information had to be obtained from newspapers. Times of Zambia still exists, as does Zambia Daily Mail. But do you think I created all those references? There are places called libraries you know. Anyway, good luck. At least your comments are not as harsh as some other editors. Cheers.

May I come in?

I have followed the preceding exchange with interest and it’s a pity I didn’t happen on it earlier otherwise I would have made a contribution. The only question that I came across was from Dribblingod on my talk page questioning my sources of info under ‘Dubious Sources.’ It was indeed an editing war but I am pleased that there is an explanation for the 107 goals in the article. Some of the comments are however offensive, in particular this unsigned post:

“fuck off with this chitalu fucking monkeys,zambia football,muhahahahahahah,shitest thing i've ever heard,go to suck a dick moron. PFA”

There was also this post

this chitalu and his record are pure jokes,who is chitalu,zambia???pfff,they have a liga?omg,maybe his record is for amateur ones.

Well, to answer some of the questions

Muchimba did the research. Hack (talk) 09:08, 14 December 2012 (UTC) is right that the editor visited a library and found articles of Chitalu
Thanks to Hack and Marutimon for pointing out to Dribblingod that Placing a date and publisher on the reference allows it to be verified and that my claims stand. Very insightful too, as to the identity of the editor.
I believe Dribblingod, mistrusting as always, sent the National Archives an email; to enquire if they have all the old papers and if Muchimba did the research. I am sure they answered an emphatic YES to both questions. Thank God for libraries.
Muchimba did the research though at that time, the newspapers had not been digitized so he was looking at the actual newspapers of 1972. The next person who will go the archives armed with the list of references will have a far much easier task.

Just to clarify:

The Zambian league in 1972 was not amateur as people allege but had been in existence from 1962, as were the cup competitions
Two years later, Zambia reached the final of the African Cup of Nations. Incidentally, Zambia are the current African champions and have 2 silver medals and 3 bronze so it’s not like we are talking about a small, never before heard of country in terms of football.
All the matches were official except (in the researchers view) for the matches against Maseru United (from Lesotho), and the matches against Sheffield United and Union Espanola
He also said the Midlands vs Copperbelt matches were a bit hard to classify. They were official matches in that they were organised by the FAZ but were matches involving neither Warriors not the Zambia national team. They competed for what was called the NFL trophy but the midlands were a regional team made up of players from Warriors and other clubs such as Green Buffaloes, City of Lusaka and Kabwe United
The Charity Shield was an official competition. It is the season-opening fixture similar to the English Community Shield
The Castle Cup, Challenge Cup and Heinrich Chibuku Cup were all official knockout competitions played over at least 5 rounds, with prize-money for the winners. And yes, the FAZ have vouched for all these matches
And who came up with the idea that the Chibuku Cup was not official anyway? You may be surprised to know that some countries outside Europe have more than one cup competition.

That said, scans of pages highlighting Chitalu’s exploits are available, with the picture Chitalu holding the ball with ‘107 goals’ on it as a start. and if an email address can be provided to me, I will send the scans SOLELY for the purpose of backing up what has been put in the article. I am pretty sure I have scans of most, if not all of those matches.

Of course I will need your assurance that they will be used only for the intended purpose. At least it will prove that someone went to the library and looked at the old newspapers, that libraries exist, and maybe some people will stop calling us monkeys... and I thought this only happened on European soccer pitches. Regards.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Aston Villa players before a training session in the 1969-1970 season (left to right) - Chico Hamilton, Freddie Mwila, Neil Rioch, Emment Kapengwe and coach Vic Crowe.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Aston Villa players before a training session in the 1969-1970 season (left to right) - Chico Hamilton, Freddie Mwila, Neil Rioch, Emment Kapengwe and coach Vic Crowe.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
