Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Medals awarded to George Limbrey Sclater-Booth.jpg
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:Medals awarded to George Limbrey Sclater-Booth.jpg.

This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

Eostrix,
If it falls outside the scope of Wikipedia, by all means delete the article and I'll make sure that any further entries do not extend below a certain rank / level of military achievement.

- Cassidy, I suggest you read WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG as guidelines as for what it expected in terms of notability. SOLDIER is a rough guideline, but some military officers will pass GNG (because they are covered in secondary sources in an in depth manner) even when they don't pass SOLDIER (either due to aspects unrelated to their military career, or since their military career received sufficient attention). To show GNG, you generally need good sources covering the bio in detail. If you are writing a bio that passes the bar set out at SOLDIER, editors will usually assume that sources are out there even if they aren't found yet. Below the bar, you usually have to come up with the sources.--Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 14:58, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Links to draft articles
[edit]
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Archibald James Fergusson Eden and 1917 Birthday Honours. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:16, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
That's absolutely fine, I'll keep it in mind. The article is now out of draft status as I've cited the statements made, so I've reinstated the links. I will continue to work on the article as time goes on, as there's more work to be done on fleshing the details out until it's hopefully to at least the same level as that of his brother. Thanks for the heads up. Vexed Cassidy (talk) 17:33, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
