WikiProject Rugby union national team Improvement Drive

For the 2007 Rugby World Cup WikiProject Rugby union is launching an Improvement Drive for national rugby union teams; specifically those participating in the Rugby World Cup.

We need your help! Here is what you can do:

Adopt a national rugby union team article and collaborate with other members to improve it.
Find, create and upload free images that will help improve these articles.
Copy-edit, reference, and expand articles when and where you can.
Promote the project and encourage others to join.

The World Cup is fast approaching and these articles are going to get a lot more hits during the tournament. It would be great if we could have them at a high standard!

For more information see the discussion on the WikiProject Rugby union talk page here.

Babe Zaharias

Hey, thank you for the kind words and encouragement! I like your photos, too, but you might want to check the link from your userpage. Looks like a bot gotcha (by accident). Speaking of photos, I'm still trying to get a good public domain pic of her for the piece. -- LisaSmall ^T/C 00:40, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gareth

Some Zionist thug is deleting my improvements to the Menachem Begin page. I detailed Begin's involvement in the Deir Yassin Massacre and the shock it elicited from many Jewish thinkers and leaders including Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt and others, which is evidenced by a letter they published to the New York Times in December 1948 calling Begin's party a fascist party, accusing Begin of terrorism, and warning the public not to allow Begin to visit the US and not to give money to his party. But the Zionist hooligans on Wikipedia, true to Zionistic smear and intimidation tactics, want to hide the truth. Since I'm new, I need some help: How can I undo their deletions? How can I complain? Thanks, Firstamend 14:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Gram parsons.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Gram parsons.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 22:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Gareth Owen! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 710 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

File source problem with File:The Point Old Trafford 2010.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:The Point Old Trafford 2010.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

File:Roger bresnahan.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Roger bresnahan.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Gareth Owen}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template.

If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:45, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
