File permission problem with File:World marbles 2010 greyhound1.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:World marbles 2010 greyhound1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:30, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

T2 Energy Centre

[edit]

Your new, unreviewed article T2 Energy Centre has no lead section. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section for how to write a lead section (aka lede). The article is also an orphan, that is, there are no links to it. Please consider making improvements to this new article. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:45, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Passenger with reduced mobility a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Persons with reduced mobility. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hello, James. When you changed Asiad to a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware that several dozen other articles contained links to that title, and all those links needed to be fixed.

World Fly Fishing Championships

[edit]

Hi there, I was just doing a few copy edits to World Fly Fishing Championships, and I hit an odd sentence. Looking back through the edits, I see that you added this bit, under the rules section: "Points are awarded to the most successful anglers and section points per round according to placing, with the winner receiving one point, the lowest overall score wins." Wouldn't the highest score win, or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks! Jessicapierce (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2017 (UTC). Jessica I confess not to being an actual follower of this event, but it does appear that the fewer points gained, the better. winner gets 1, 2nd 2, 3rd 3, etc.[reply]

Oh, I think I understand - I was misinterpreting the sentence (I don't know the event either). Thank you! Jessicapierce (talk) 03:54, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Thank you for creating several articles on women and their works over the past few weeks. We have become aware of your contributions thanks to research undertaken by Bobo.03 at the University of Minnesota.
You might be interested in becoming a member of our WikiProject Women in Red where we are actively trying to reduce Wikipedia's content gender gap.
If you would like to receive news of our activities without becoming a member, you can simply add your name to our mailing list. In any case, thank you for actively contributing to the coverage of women (currently, just 17.37% of English Wikipedia's biographies).

Wanted to let you know that I undid a couple of your edits to Daisy Waterstone because the Sun is not a reliable source - it's blacklisted at Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/thesun.co.uk. You'll want to also avoid adding any of these others that you've used, as they are unreliable and trip the edit filter as a result. Home Lander (talk) 19:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC) Are you sure?

Invitation to participate in study

[edit]

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Ways to improve Aimee Lou Wood

Hello, James Kevin McMahon,

Thanks for creating Aimee Lou Wood! I edit here too, under the username Domdeparis and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

You need to add more sources to show she meets WP:NACTOR

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Domdeparis}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling Results History

[edit]

Hi - I was patrolling new pages, and came across Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling Results History. Mostly looked fine, but I noticed that there were a number of external links from the names of some of the people. My understanding of WP:ELLIST is that this is discouraged - you're pretty experienced though, so I thought I'd drop you a note to discuss rather than removing them myself. Is my interpretation incorrect, is there another guideline I should be looking at? cheers GirthSummit (blether) 10:46, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks for pointing that out, I thought I had deleted all the daily mail references. James Kevin McMahon (talk) 10:52, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

James Kevin McMahon, hi - no, it wasn't the Daily Mail I was worried about specifically (not sure what that's doing there - I think it was there before I added this section). It's the links from people's names like Craig Brown or Stephen Brain. Basically, those links could be used as refs, or you can link to other Wikipedia articles, but as I understand it we shouldn't be using external links from people's names like that within the list. GirthSummit (blether) 11:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I saw what you meant and removed them. Thank you James Kevin McMahon (talk) 11:19, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Alumni of the Randolph College of Performing Arts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

TheRichest.com as a source

[edit]

Hi James Kevin McMahon. Please be more careful with the sources you choose. TheRichest.com is a very poor source. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well it looked fine to me, well written, specific. I hope your disregard for this source is not based on a single incident in the past and you have concrete reasons for rejecting such an accurate article. James Kevin McMahon (talk) 17:42, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can look it up at RSN, notice their references include IMDB (which is not reliable), and note User_talk:James_Kevin_McMahon#Famousbirthdays.com_as_a_source. Please be more careful with sources. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 18:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I assure you, I have never used Famousbirthdays.com as a source. Not sure what you mean by RSN. Hipal can I ask you valued opinion on this, check this article out which was rejected for being a bad source (Daily mail), which may of been because of past bad reputation, please read the article and look at the photos. Please tell me why this is being consistently rejected. All I want good reason, I am not supportive of blanket banning, each should be valued on merit and validity. My thoughts, the whole sourcing issue should itself be under review constantly. Thanks. James Kevin McMahon (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2020 (UTC) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6787243/Prince-Charles-visits-University-College-Estate-Management-Reading.html[reply]

The reference you used is clickbait that itself references IMDB. It should not be used anywhere, let alone in BLP articles that require high-quality sources.
I've identified WP:RSN for you multiple times.
Here's the diff of you using Famousbirthdays.com.
BLP requires high-quality sources. TheRichest.com is clearly not one, given the evidence I've given here and the past RSN discussions. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 20:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

[edit]
The Original Barnstar
Hello Mr. McMahon,

Would you be interested in collaborating with me, on an update, to the Philip Ettinger page you started? I have no abilities, whatsoever, with editing, but I'm an admirer of Phil's work, and so have read & collected all the articles, and interviews on him, that I could find. I have links to those articles and interviews, and can reel off the info contained in them, off the top of my head, in order for you to quickly get an overall view. I can also help with corrections such as Philip Ettinger's participation in 2 episodes of "I Know This Much is True," instead of 6. (I wish it *had* been 6, he was amazing in it - a wonderful collaborator with Mark Ruffalo). Anyway, please let me know if you'd be interested in doing that.

Thank you for all your contributions to Wikipedia, and for starting Philip's page. It's much appreciated!

- GoldenAspen GoldenAspen (talk) 06:02, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you GoldenAspen for being the first person to thank me for my contributions to Wikipedia and the first to send me a barnstar. I normally just get people wanting to delete good articles, such as Timothy Innes (see above). It was for that reason I have stopped contributing. No point spending time on these things if its going to be deleted. But sure, I would be delighted to assist with any improvements to the Philip Ettinger article. Its really quite easy to do it yourself. Copy and paste a reference and change the details to your chosen source. Let me know if you have problems. James Kevin McMahon (talk) 09:23, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr. McMahon,

Been working on adding some detail to Philip Ettinger’s page. (The last time I was in a computer class was 30 years ago! Things have changed a bit since then!) Could you please check my work so far?

Also, from social media posts from his friends, I know Ettinger’s birthdate, but I have doubts I could use them as proof of his birthday. (Even though every year, for 4 or 5 years in a row, he gets birthday greetings on the same day from his friends). What do you think?

Cheers! GoldenAspen GoldenAspen (talk) 02:49, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GoldenAspen, You have expanded the intro, thats ok. The intro doesnt need references and should only reflect what is in the body of the article, (which should be referenced), so looks a little top heavy at present, the intro is far too good for the rest of the article and needs balancing. Continue any specific Philip Ettinger work on the Philip Ettinger talk page, add the source links, websites to the talk page there and I will add them as references to the main page if you wish me too, or you can do it yourself. An embedded tweet with clear evidence of his birthday should suffice yes.James Kevin McMahon (talk) 06:21, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article Sofia Hublitz has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NACTOR GNG requirements, Google searches are mostly repetitive info, just not notable enough to warrant an article

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SanAnMan (talk) 17:57, 7 June 2021 (UTC) Absolute nonsense, this article has received over 2 million views, you cant get much more notable than that.

An article you recently created, Sam Quartin, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Deleting redirects

[edit]

Hi, happy new year. Just to let you know, I have reverted your edit to Cathy Brady as redirects should be deleted via Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion. A new article can replace a redirect using Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. TSventon (talk) 07:54, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply, I would like to know more about replacing bad redirects. I just see some unnecessary redirects as a sneaky persons attempt to create an article on the cheap without putting any time into it. If I were to create an article I would need to be sure that nobody else was going to get the credit for creation of that article is my point. I would also very much like to know what the link is between Stefanie Preissner and Cathy Brady that you feel is so important to preserve? Thank you and happy new year. James Kevin McMahon (talk) 08:03, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion#When should we delete a redirect? has a list of reasons, including "10. If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject" so I would not object to a deletion request at WP:RFD for the Brady redirect. I have reverted another edit to change the target to Can't Cope, Won't Cope, which does mention Brady and Preissner. If you want credit for an article on Brady, you can either request deletion first or produce a draft and then use WP:RMT to replace the draft.
I reverted the edit to save new pages patrol some work as it had changed a redirect into an article waiting for review on the Special:NewPagesFeed. TSventon (talk) 08:53, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shona McGarty

[edit]

I asked the IP about this on their talk page, but they just deleted the question. From the sheer number of times this article and a related one for a character she portrays have been protected to prevent this, I don't think they have a rational objection. Belbury (talk) 22:00, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know exactly what you are trying to do, and no, it will not "look better". At a table like this, the 'Year' is the row-defining element and any rowspans that cross beyond the row-defining element will impact table readability negatively. (If you want to see lots of discussion about this in regards to 'Filmography' and 'Awards' table, look at my talk page and its archives in regards to "rowspan".) Bottom line: WP:STYLEVAR applies here – you made a stylistic change, it was reverted, so the current style stays, and you either take to the talk page (where I will strongly oppose your changes), or you drop it. --IJBall (contribstalk) 21:13, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Taylor Blackwell

Hello, James Kevin McMahon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Taylor Blackwell".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 05:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a citation to the same line as a section heading causes the heading to not be properly displayed as shown here. You did something similar with respect to the Keith Deller, Jocky Wilson and Eric Bristow articles the other day. It's great that you're finding and adding citations to articles, but try to make sure you're not adding them to section headings from hereon. If the section is nothing but a bullet list of results, you can either add the citation to each entry of the list or add a brief introductory sentence before the list where you can add the citation. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:55, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to do it that way, please feel free to.James Kevin McMahon (talk) 06:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not really a question of wanting to do it. Adding citations to same lines as section headings doesn't allow the headings to properly display and creates MOS:ACCESS problems; this is why it's not considered acceptable to do per MOS:HEAD. All you need to do is not add a citation to the same line as a section heading. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:29, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I can see why now, thank you for pointing that out.James Kevin McMahon (talk) 11:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Nathalie Armin

[edit]

A user has reverted your edit to Nathalie Armin, claiming that the image is a "violation of copyright". AFAICS it's OK, as CC-BY-3.0 on Commons. Does he/she have a point?--AntientNestor (talk) 08:09, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AntientNestor, RupertPJ55 could be Rupert Penry-Jones the actor, he may know Nathalie Armin, so could be a genuine request from her to remove the image, which I believe would be within her rights to do so. The copyright is ShaLT Projects, they have licensed the video under CC-BY-3.0, so that appears to be ok. I have removed the image from my profile to protect the other 500. Thank you for informing me.James Kevin McMahon (talk) 09:22, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good guess: according to IMDB Armin and RP-J have appeared in some productions together. AntientNestor (talk) 14:39, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI this appears to be an image of Nazanin Boniadi, not Cynthia Addai-Robinson. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:27, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of source from Lisa Kay page

[edit]

Hi, I see that you have been busy improving the page for Lisa Kay and have a question. I'm a newbie, so please forgive my ignorance. You replaced my source (IMDb) for the Foyles War episode with the MEN reference, even though the IMDb has more information than the MEN article. Is that because the IMDb is not considered a good source, or for some other reason? Many thanks for your help in this. CrazyBuilder (talk) 08:51, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Crazy, Yes you nailed it, even though IMDb is a magnificent wealth of information, it is considered an unreliable source, in a similar way that Wikipedia is. Presently acceptable sources are tv guide, rotten tomatoes, comedy guide. Who knows when they will be shunned, but they are ok at present. James Kevin McMahon (talk) 08:59, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try to remember that! BTW, I think the sentence 'Kay appeared the episode "Among the few" …' needs an 'in' before 'the'. And the comma here (… series All My Friends Are Racist,[5] The five-part …) should be a full stop. Plus, "East Riding of Yorkshire,[1] grew up in Levisham on the North York Moors." seems to be missing 'and'. Will you fix them, or shall I? CrazyBuilder (talk) 09:28, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
