Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Hilbre (yacht) article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. - Mike Rosoft 11:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Hilbre (yacht). For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. - Mike Rosoft 15:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please note that minor re-phrasing of the sentences from the original website is not enough; such a derivative work is still protected by the original copyright. You have to write the article from the scratch, using your own words. (However, you can use the website as a reference; facts themselves are not protected by copyright.) If you wrote the material on the website yourself, you can naturally submit it to Wikipedia; in that case you should post a notice on the website that you allow the material to be used under the terms of the GFDL license, or e-mail the Wikimedia Foundation (permissions-en[at]wikimedia.org). Please note that a permission that only extends to Wikipedia or disallows third-party commercial use is not sufficient. Regards, Mike Rosoft 15:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The same applies to the photos - you cannot release them into public domain unless you have taken them yourself, or have received permission from the copyright holder for such a release. - Mike Rosoft 15:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there Ian, I saw the article here with interest as I'm a keen sailor and of course know of the Hilbre. Howeber it seems you have just copied the text from here once again, after the warnings above. I will try and rewrite the text but you simply can't repeat mistakes like this after clear warnings above. Don't be surprised if this article is deleted before I can rewrite it!

OK, I've added som material and removed the copyright text by rewriting it. If you have any suggestions, please have a look! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk to me) 10:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:West kirby.JPG

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:West kirby.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ZooFari 06:17, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Wallasey Yacht Club (flag).jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Wallasey Yacht Club (flag).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 in section F6 of the 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.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The file File:Grove Rd 2.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Poor quality image with no foreseeable encyclopedic use.

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.
