Thank you so much. I'm doing my best but find that time is my biggest constraint at the moment. Leitrim Lad (talk) 17:56, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File:Unionist grafitti in Derry in the 1960's.jpg

Hi,

Thanks for uploading the file. You uploaded it specifying non-free use. Note that such files need to meet all of the non-free content criteria. However, this image is from a 1920 newsreel, and so its copyright has expired. I've changed the licensing to Public Domain. I have also requested that the image be renamed. Given that this is from a1920 newsreel, it obviously cannot be graffiti from the 1960's. If you have questions about media copyright, you can post your questions, or ask for assistance at Media Copyright Questions. -- Whpq (talk) 00:47, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited No. 12 Commando, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crumlin. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:16, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Corran Purdon

Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Corran Purdon! However, you should know that adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. A bare URL is a URL cited as a reference for some information in an article without any accompanying information about the linked page. In other words, it is just URL copied and pasted into the Wiki text, inserted between <ref>...</ref> tags, without title, author, date, or any of the usual information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already entered one or more bare urls to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles, and to avoid future link rot, please consider supplementing your bare URLs—creating full, inline citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc. More information can be found at Wikipedia:Inline citations. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 17:39, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. This is very helpful. Leitrim Lad (talk) 14:01, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
