Wikimania slides

[edit]

Hi John, Cormac here - just letting you know that your Wikimania slides [1] are tagged something like "unknown copyright and may be deleted". Thought you might want to clear that up. Good to see you at Wikimania. Cormaggio 18:37, 9 August 2005 (UTC) (What list?)[reply]

Thanks Cormac! It was good to meet you too... --Cloudie 11:40, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:John breslin.jpg

[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:John breslin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of File:Sioc logo.gif

[edit]

The file File:Sioc logo.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

August 2022

[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give NUI Galway a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Manti core 12:01, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks User:Manticore - I've added it to Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Technical_requests 🤞 Cloudie (talk) 14:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries Cloudie, glad it all worked out in the end! — Manti core 22:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
