File source problem with File:BBC Ceefax logo.svg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:BBC Ceefax logo.svg. 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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:14, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Nul points in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest
[edit]I'll protest the remove of this undone edit: [1] It's true that everyone receives twelve at the start of voting, but if the rule was not in use, it would still be very unlikely to get zero, because the number of participating countries is very low. 85.76.51.161 (talk) 17:45, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Netherlands Public Broadcasting, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zapp. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.

RE: MPT
[edit]Hi it has come to my attention that it is only the english articles that uses "MRT" instead of "MPT" which is used in the rest of other language wiki articles especially the Macedonian one. Debunking your romanized alphabet argument, it could be seen how even the logo has put "MPT" in a romanized alphabet form therefore should be the one to be followed. It is practice here in wikipedia to use the official naming used by the one being described in the article no matter what their translation to english might be such as Volkswagen which in direct romanized translation is "Folkswagen" but the former prevailed due to it being the one used in the official logo of the company albeit being romanized too. I understand your argument on the main article "Macedonian Radio Television" that is why I kept that because its original name would not make sense in an expanded form here in english wiki. But its acronym should not be meddled upon especially it has a logo to prove it and the main article could provide the knowledge why MPT and what is its translation to english.Lastly the MRT 1 and MRT 2 pages should be really up for a disambiguation as the MRT worldwide may refer to Mass Rapid Transit or an equivalent rail term. PhilippineRevolution (talk) 01:55, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello AxG. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of MRT 2, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is too complicated for a CSD move/delete. You want the page to be an article about a TV station rather than the railway that it's pointing to. There needs to be a disambiguation page for MRT that has both options on. Nothing needs to be deleted. Thank you. GedUK 11:51, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello AxG. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of MRT 2 Sat, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Per teh above, this isn't uncontroversial enough for CSD. Needs a proper discussion, probably at WP:RFD. Thank you. GedUK 11:53, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Belarus Language and Title
[edit]Hi, it seems that people are polarised as to whether the title of Belarus's song in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 is "Sokol" or "Sokal" and if the song is sung in Belarusian or Russian. I do not have enough skills in either language to be able to tell and the only reason I put Belarusian when I added Nadezhda to the article is because I read a comment on YouTube in very poorly translated English about how "if she sang in Russian, Russia would vote for her" or something like that. I'm honestly not sure which language it's sung in and we've had anonymous users change the title to "Sokal" which is what I believe the Belarusian word for "falcon" is but also have anonymous users change the language to Russian. I'm not sure what to do. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 15:19, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
