December 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we usually don't add long list into an article, if there is nothing to link them to-

and also you succeeded to remove references when you added your edits. We cannot accept original research. Wikipedia:No original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Hafspajen (talk) 06:42, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References

Hi Green Caffeine: I took a look at your edits to Pen spinning and have left a note on Talk:Pen spinning about one aspect: you removed referenced material and references because you got 404s, but all or most of those appear to be archived at the Wayback Machine. I've noted there WP:PRESERVE, which many editors are unaware of - it is not a good idea to remove dead links, because there is then no clue to following editors that there was a reference. Often if the reference is left in place - marked as a dead link - either an archived version can be found as I did in this case, or clues such as a title and date can be used to track down an equivalent reference, such as the same wire service article published in a different newspaper. I would go through and reinstate that material now, but I don't have time, so I'm alerting you so you know next time you update an article. Welcome here and thanks for the effort.

Orphaned non-free image File:RSVP MX pen mod, Dec 2015.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:RSVP MX pen mod, Dec 2015.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 20:56, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:RSVP MX pen mod, Dec 2015.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:RSVP MX pen mod, Dec 2015.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

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. Whpq (talk) 20:57, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lupton family== and ==James Kitson, 1st Baron Airedale

Please check that recent additions to refs. are all OK - please keep in quotes as part of refs. Thanks so much 101.189.0.102 (talk) 03:55, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure if the recent additions are okay.... The only recent edits done by you on either of those articles was on the the James Kitson, 1st Baron Airedale page. If that information in parentheses that you added wasn't actually in the quoted material, then you need to use [brackets] instead of parentheses to show that the quote was added to or modified for clarification. Alternatively, at least for the date edit, I'm pretty sure you could add the date to the citation by using the "|date=" parameter in the citation, as long as the person died on the day that source was published.Green Caffeine (talk) 08:27, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
