[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:One Colmore Row Portrait Cropped.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 22:01, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Onyx Birmingham from street level.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Onyx Birmingham from street level.jpg, which you've attributed to PB_IYB at Skyscraper City. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:49, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
This also applies to File:3 Arena Central 8-9-2020.jpg. — Diannaa (talk) 13:51, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:Aston Place from Holliday Street, Birmingham.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.flickr.com/photos/ell-r-brown/50200255107/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Alcoa Chimney Stacks.jpg
[edit]
A tag has been placed on File:Alcoa Chimney Stacks.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Accidental deletion of Viadux Tower?
[edit]Hello there, much appreciate your amazing attention to detail on the List of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom page, but I wasn't sure if this was an accidental or deliberate deletion please? It does appear that this is quite a well founded proposal, certainly a lot stronger than a few others listed, so perhaps it could be reinstated? If not maybe we wait until more official confirmations/find better ref? The removed Wikitext from the Proposed list as follows: | 4||Viadux2||||Residential||Manchester||Greater Manchester||City of Manchester||Deansgate||~204||~669||60||Proposed 2022||[1] Many thanks again for your excellent tidy up and updating of this page :-) M 78.150.3.95 (talk) 11:48, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there. Many thanks for your positive comments about the page. Regarding the deletion you mention, I am trying to improve the rigour of the page by supporting each listing with a link to the formal planning application, which as you can imagine is quite a time consuming exercise. On this basis I have removed a number of unsubstantiated proposals, Viadux II being one. Normally I would revert to the approved plans in lieu of a formal resubmission, but in this case the approved building is only 15-storeys tall. Therefore, IMO, it would be best to wait for the formal resubmission (FULL or OUTLINE) before reinstating the listing, to ensure all the details are correct. Obviously this is my process, not a Wiki rule, so I hope it seems sensible. BlueandWhiteStripes (talk) 23:15, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Do not make accusations.
[edit]How dare you call my edit intentional disruption! Calling other people's good faith edits bad faith is itself bad faith.
As I quite clearly stated, if you want to apply criterion in a particular way then it needs to be applied consistently. If you disgree, argue your point on the article Talk page instead of slapping templates in other people's pages. ChiZeroOne (talk) 01:23, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Your edit comment began as follows: “if you are going to be anal…”
This is a clear case of WP:UNCIVIL.
Your edits are intended to be disruptive as they do not follow the format of this or any other related Wikipedia page. They also erase information needed to make sense of the page.
You had the option to open a civil dialogue to discuss your concerns but chose instead to be abusive.
I will continue to revert your edits for the benefit of the page.
