Copyright

You can't just help yourself to photos that you find on the internet. In simple terms, before you can use photos on Wikipedia (or Wikimedia Commons), they need to be either rather old (where copyright has expired), or the photo needs to have been explicitly published with a suitable license. St. David's Memorial Church, Cave doesn't meet those requirements, and I've put it up for deletion. Photos is a tricky area; feel free to ask for help / advice when you are looking for something. And don't be dispirited, but keep those architectural articles coming! Schwede66 09:11, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your message and concern. I am however aware of the issue you have bought to my attention. I wrote to the author of the photos. I asked for permission to use the photos and to add them to Wikipedia Commons on a CC license. He agreed to both. How should label uploads like these ones in the future to avoid this confusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pipjohn (talk • contribs) 12:30, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Ah; very good. In that case, please read and follow the instructions at Open-source Ticket Request System (OTRS). And it makes more sense to keep discussions in one place, hence I've moved your message from my talk page to here. You can use the template {{ping|Schwede66}} to notify me (or any other user) when you respond. Schwede66 19:40, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Brilliant. Thanks once again for all your help. I have sent the appropriate email to the permission's team and added {{subst:OP}} to the files. Hopefully it all works out and I can use the photos soon. @Schwede66: Pipjohn 15:18, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Antigua Boat Sheds

Nice to see that there's finally an English entry for this marvel; the German WP has had an article for years! Just had an edit conflict and I see that you've only just created it, and are obviously still editing. Let me know when you are done, please. Schwede66 19:08, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I have finished for now.. i think. I looked over the German WP and realised I had made a few mistakes. If the conflict still exist I would love your help. I found writing the sentence about it being "the only boat shed situated on a river..". rather clunky and difficult. Any help would be great. @Schwede66: Pipjohn 20:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry scrap that I am still editing. My last edit did not save. Apologies. @Schwede66: Pipjohn 20:14, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Ok finished now. Sorry about the mix up. @Schwede66: Pipjohn 20:33, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Old Government Building, Christchurch

Nice one! Don't want to cause an edit conflict - you might want to use NZ English (centralise) and it's Cat I (infobox shows II). Do you know whether Dave Henderson still lives in one of the penthouses? Schwede66 18:42, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the help and finding the errors! An article from The Press from four days ago seems to indicate that he still lives in the penthouse. @Schwede66: Pipjohn 14:30, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hi Pipjohn, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 05:26, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

That said, here’s one note of caution. I'm sure that there would be consensus that Category I comes with inherent notability, whereas the same won’t be true for Category II. Therefore, I suggest that you make sure that Cat II articles clearly show that WP:GNG is met. Getting hold of a couple of substantial newspaper articles would certainly help. There would definitely be lots about the Curator’s House on PapersPast, e.g. when it was under construction. Best to get on top of that before somebody challenges you with a PROD or AfD. Schwede66 01:28, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Schwede66. I have added a PapersPast article. In addition to that I added the CCC heritage listing as it shows that the Curator's house is a significant building for Chch. Especially as it is still standing post the earthquakes. Pipjohn 7:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
