Could you add some information on the source of this picture to the image page (you click on the picture in the article to get there). Also how large is this object? Rmhermen 00:14, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

Hi the Cheesewring is 7 metres in height: The photograph is my own taken on holiday in Cornwall in September 2003.

Image tags

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for the images you are contributing to Wikipedia, you seem to have a very impressive collection of images. One thing that would be of service would be if you could specify which license you are releasing the pictures under. The most common license is the GFDL, to release an image under the GFDL simply add {{GFDL}} to each image's page. A list of other possible licenses and tags can be found at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Below is a list of the images you have uploaded. If you have a couple minutes it would be much appreciated if you could add copyright tags to them. - SimonP 21:08, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for supplying the picture of Bedale. Ta very much! Borderer 15:12, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Conwy Railway Bridge

Excellent photo - it add a great deal to the article. I travel over the bridge almost weekly but the train never provides a good view of the bridge. Velela 20:45, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Roger De Vlaeminck

Hello I'm French and I ave used your picture of Roger De Vlaeminck for the French encyclopedia. Could you say me in which Paris-Roubaix this picture was taken ? Thank you and sorry for my english. fr:Utilisateur:Antoinel

I have added the same photo to the dutch wiki about Roger De Vlaeminck and would like to know the details aswell. If you can provide them off course ;-) 82.157.156.158 19:05, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) nl:Gebruiker:NielsB

Eskdale photos

Hey Mick,

Great photos of Eskdale. I used to stay at Penny Hill Farm as a kid and it was really nice to see the photo of Harter Fell. Even after spending time in the Alps, Eskdale is still a beautiful place.

Regards, Keith

Coldstream Bridge

Hey! :) I really really like your photos... I found one of them that justabout fitted my new article at Coldstream Bridge, but I wondered if you had one that featured more on the (very interesting) bridge and less on the Tweed? If you did it would be fantastic, if not, I am sure we can make do with the current one. Thanks a lot for all your work on the British geography articles! --TheGrappler 22:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The new picture is now in place at Coldstream Bridge, thanks a lot! :) --TheGrappler 00:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Berwick Bridge and Royal Tweed Bridge

Again, thanks for the photos! I don't suppose you have one for the Royal Border Bridge too? That's the Victorian railway viaduct carrying the East Coast Mainline over the Tweed - it's a pretty dramatic sight, but I haven't been able to find a free photograph for it! Thanks, TheGrappler 16:26, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You asked too early. There now is at least one, see Commons:Image:Royal Border Bridge 2001-01-07.jpg for instance.--Klaus with K 17:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Mark V

Hallo Mick! Very nice article about Bovington Tank Museum! And very, very nice pictures. Especially the one of the Mark V! Could you possibly put it (or any other of course :o) on WikiCommons also? There's a number of foreign language wikiprojects that would benefit greatly from the inclusion of your gorgeous picture(s). WWI vehicles are quite rare and it's difficult to obtain photos of them. Thanks anyhow,--MWAK 3 July 2005 14:25 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts! I've already put them to good use.--MWAK 4 July 2005 18:07 (UTC)

My congrats on the pics too! I was worried that whenI'm down there later in the year, I'd have to drag my wife round the place photgraphing everything that wasn't already on wikipedia. Just one question, the TOG2, for a reference point, how tall is the little person (your grand-daughter?)in front of itGraemeLeggett 4 July 2005 19:22 (UTC)

Roger De Vlaeminck - part II

Could you please provide more information about the photo you have uploaded about Roger De Vlaeminck? If you dont have any information, please say so. nl:gebruiker:NielsB

After consulting with my father he seems to think that it is the 1978 edition of Paris-Roubaix - Mick Knapton

Thank you very much! I will add this info to the photo on the dutch wiki. 22:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC) NielsB

Eskdale

Sincere apologies for removing your picture. I appreciate the effort you went to in taking it (hard to get to valley is Eskdale!) and I guess I just forgot that you can have two pictures in the same article! I think your picture is better, come to think of it I'm not even siure if my picture's of Eskdale at all!

Thanks for not deleting the other picture. Actually I got it from this website. They aim to have a photo from every 1km grid square in Britain, and all the images are licensed as Creative Commons Attribution, so they are suitable for copying onto wikipedia. Apologies for forgetting to license it. --Mark J 15:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Paris-Tours

Why didn't you just use "292 km" on your new map at Paris-Tours? The objection wasn't to your use of a symbol; it was to your use of the improper symbol "KM". While there are situations in which the spelled out word can be capitalized, it looks ugly here, and even spelled out would be better with a lowercase k. But since this differs from the rules that the symbols are case sensitive, I won't revert it, just letting you know that it could be better. The shading on this new version is also too dark for my tastes. Gene Nygaard 17:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Royal Border Bridge

Many thanks for the photo. This is a very late reply, haven't had time to log on to Wiki since I started teacher-training! Your photo collection is a great contribution to Wikipedia. :-) TheGrappler 19:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Supertram liveries

Hi! Seeing as there have now been a couple of changes of livery, perhaps it would be good to add a section to the supertram article on the various liveries that have been used. This would then be a good place to put photos that illustrate each livery. I found this photograph that illustrates the original livery, but I'm sure that there are more out there.

Demolition Article

Well Mick, I am not finished with the demolition article. I am about to add a couple more pictures to the article, including yours. The reason I removed yours is because it is very difficult to see the excavator in your picture. Congrats on getting a pic of a long-reach excavator though, I am sill searching for one to take a pic of. KeepOnTruckin 20:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Look at it now; is that good?

Hi Mike, I've found that there's a "broken" file, a photo made by you. Could you please add more information (date perhaps?) and a license to Image:The Cheesewring 2.jpg (cf. history), so that it won't get deleted? Thanks a lot, nice shot :-) --Ü 23:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject on Sheffield Wednesday

Hi Mick Knapton. I am inviting you to join the WikiProject on Sheffield Wednesday, an attempt to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of articles relating to Sheffield Wednesday F.C. You have received this message either because you have previously edited pages related to Sheffield Wednesday or you have stated on Wikipedia that you are a fan of the club. This is a fledgling WikiProject and we would welcome your contributions, please visit the project page for more details. Dan1980 11:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Great to have you aboard Mick. Contributions to any Sheffield Wednesday related articles are welcome, so feel free to write about the subjects that you are most knowledgable on. You can find a list of the articles that are in need of most work here. — Dan1980 11:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mick,

You're not treading on my toes at all. There's loads to do so we appreciate your help wherever you can give it. When you create articles relating to Sheffield Wednesday please could you add the tag {{WPSWFC}} to the top of the article's talk page. This automatically adds it to Category:WikiProject Sheffield Wednesday articles and makes it easier to keep track of the articles covered by the WikiProject.

I've added a paragraph to the Peter Swan article about his short managerial career at Matlock Town. As far as I am aware he did not manage any other clubs, but if you know different please add them to the article.

Central Fells

Hello. I've started adding some of the missing fells, and seen your fine work all over the District. I was wondering if you have any photos handy for the central fells I've started? I only seem to walk in the kind of weather that means I need a GPS just to find my sandwiches. Two more centrals to go and then I'm planning to move east of Kirkstone for a bit. One thing that strikes me as a newcomer to this wiki lark, is that there's several Wainwright formats out there already. I copied one that seemed prevalent, only to find it wasn't particularly. Once all the articles are up and running presumably all interested parties can agree on a standard beauty treatment?Bobble Hat 22:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, cracking pictures.Bobble Hat 22:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Central Fells again!

I've started adding a template for wainwright's central fells to the relevent ones and discussed this with bobble hat earlier (as you've probably seen). Sorry I didnt put a note on your talk page then. Do you think the templates ok? and importantly, i guess, is the format suitable for using on the other areas etc?

Wednesday Players

I would love to have a short section on Wednesday legends, but I don't think that the 100 greatest players list would work. A poll among Wikipedians would be considered OR and/or POV. What we could do is include a list of players from an already established poll such as the legends section on the official website. Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 13:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Reversion of Ben More Assynt

Hey, what was wrong with my changes? I don't think I took anything away (apart from the derivation of 'Assynt', which I explained in the edit summary); I just moved stuff around so it was better organised, with a concise lead and sections arranged thematically per the Manual of Style, and added a few pieces of information and/or clarified some points. Please don't feel offended - you wrote a great article, I was just trying to make it clearer for the general reader. If there were any specific things you think were out of order (in either sense!) then by all means put them right or address the matter on the talk page, but why the wholesale reversion? --Blisco 13:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[From User talk:Blisco] The article was on the main page for most of Saturday (not nominated by me), everybody else seemed quite happy with it, did small changes and I received some plaudits, until you decided to give it a major overhaul. Thats the reason I was not happy as you had done something similar with Sgurr na Lapaich. If this is your policy for your so called "Key Mountains" than I think I'll leave them alone and concentrate on other Munros and Wainwrights. Mick Knapton 22:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Mick, first of all please don't take any of my edits as criticism. I really think you're doing a great job with the articles you're creating. Ben More Assynt in particular covered just the sort of information I think these articles should – topography, geology, wildlife, ascent routes – exactly the things we were discussing. My 'overhaul' was a sincere and good-faith attempt to present the information in a clearer way, as well as adding a few extra bits of information. True, it was a lot of changes at once, and some of them (e.g. putting commas in 4-digit numbers) were not at all necessary, but that's just the way I prefer to work. As I said above, I didn't take anything out, and made fairly few changes to the actual wording. I honestly believe that it's now among the best articles we've got on British hills (which is not a bad achievement for an article 5 days old), and most of the effort is yours.

Please remember that no one can claim ownership of an article on Wikipedia. As it says on the edit page, "If you don't want your material to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it". This is a collaborative project, and we're all meant to be working together to improve the encyclopedia. That's why I set up the WikiProject in the first place – to try and define some common goals and practices, rather than just working away at our own areas of interest. The fact that other users say nice things about an article in a particular state doesn't mean that it can't be improved beyond that state - Wikipedia is in a constant process of improvement.

You haven't told me what aspects of my overhaul you didn't like. Do you not like articles divided into sections? (Read the Manual of Style and you'll find it recommended over and over again.) Do you think I was wrong to order things the way I did? (To which I say fair enough, there's no one right way to do it.) Are you offended by changes to your writing style? Did you not like the tone of my edit summary on Sgurr na Lapaich? (If so then I apologise; it was perhaps a bit abrupt, though I stand by the principle – this is an encyclopedia after all.) Or do you get the impression that I'm stalking your edits? If the latter (which I suspect is the case), the truth is that I just happened to notice that you'd created them, was pleased, and thought they could be made even better with a bit of copy-editing and sectioning. In any case, but especially the latter, reverting another editor's hard work without any explanation is not the way forward. If you were offended, then so was I.

As for "my so called 'key mountains'", they're not "mine" any more than the article in question is "yours". The idea came from Ras52, and I created the page following discussion and, I thought, consensus (or at least no objections); it just so happens that so far I've put most of the effort (not all) into classifying them. If you disagree with the principle, perhaps you should say so on the project talk page? And my only "policy" is for all articles, but especially these, to be of the highest quality. I'm interested in all our hills, I want to help create a quality encyclopedia, and I'll edit any article I like. If you don't want me to touch any articles you created then say so, but I'd ask you to consider whether that's in the spirit of Wikipedia. Thanks, Blisco 20:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Far Eastern Fells

Mick, there is at least the basis of an article about all of them now. Had a bit of a shock one evening when I decided to research the next missing fell. Preped up on Wansfell, logged on and found you'd written it about 10 minutes before. All a bit surreal, but yours was better anyway. I don't suppose you have any more pictures? Book 1 next.Bobble Hat 16:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Good news about the photos. No complaints about Wansfell, its just that I'd only been gone about half an hour, so I'm sat here thinking 'I did look, I'm sure I did, how did I not notice that there's a full article with pictures?' Quite funny, once you realise you haven't gone round the bend.Bobble Hat 22:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Gaelic pronounciation

Thanks for the tip about Sgurr na Ciste Dhuibhe. I have tried to render it at least partially into IPA. I have to admit I have mixed feelings about IPA, as I think while it is internationally recognised, it can be about as widely understood as Klingon or Esperanto! I wish English wikipedia would agree to a dual pronounciation guide, i.e. one for the linguists, and another for ordinary mortals. The other problem is that there are a few unusual sounds in Gaelic which don't occur in too many other languages, so finding a reference point can be difficult. --MacRusgail 16:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Sheffield Wednesday

Hi Mick,

Just a quick note to let you know that after months of neglect, I am currently working on rennovating WPSWFC. I have already set up 1.0 assessment which should help to identify articles that need work and I'll also be compiling a fresh list of football biography articles that are needed, so feel free to check back in a week or so and help out if you have any spare time!

Yeah, the list of Sheffield Wednesday players is far from complete, so if you notice any missing feel free to add them to the list.

Walter Millership

Great work again Mick! I've added Millership's wartime details to the infobox, but couldn't find the wartime appearance data you quoted in any of the references. I assume that you've got it from Since 1888, but I can't access it as I'm too tight to subscribe! Please could you take a look and fill in the blanks?

I also noticed that there's a discrepancy between the SWFC appearance stats quoted in the lead (which I assume are from Since 1888) and those in the infobox (which are from Adrian Bullock). Could you have a look at that too and see if you can work out which ones are correct?

Cheers, Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 20:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I didn't pick up on the fact that the lead mentions his combined league apps; that's what you get for editing an article when you're half asleep I suppose! Is there any mention of the years that he guested for Donny or the Blades? Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 21:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Sheffield Wednesday WikiProject

Hi Mick,

I've just started a new sources section at the Wikiproject and would appreciate it if you could add to it with any useful links that you know of that aren't already listed. The new section can be found here.

There's also a book list that will help in sourcing articles if you need information from a book that you do not own, so if you could add any books that you have to the list then that would be great too.

Finally, I'm in the process of starting individual articles for each of Wednesday's seasons. To start with these will essentially be stubs with an infobox and final league table, but will eventually be fleshed out. If you would like to help by expanding these articles or by creating some of the stubs then feel free to join in – you won't be treading on any toes! There is a full list of the season articles here.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Derwent Edge

The article may be about Derwent Edge, but the infobox (elevation info, OS grid reference, coordinates) is specifically about Back Tor, the highest point on the escarpment. Illustrating the infobox with an image of a place other than Back Tor does not appear to me to make sense. What exactly is your rationale for the change? (The layout problem created by your preferred positioning of the images may be a matter of taste, but note MOS:IMAGES: "Avoid sandwiching text between two images that face each other". I believe that having a left-aligned image at the top of an article is discouraged somewhere, as well.) Deor (talk) 21:57, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Endcliffe Hall

Hi. I noticed that you added Endcliffe Hall to the list of buildings by William Flockton (nice article by the way). It looks to me that Endcliffe Hall was by Flockton & Abbott, and as far as I know the Flockton in that partnership was William's son Thomas James Flockton. I'm not sure what to do here... I started the William Flockton article as an article about the person; but because I included details about the successor firms I redirected the names of those firms to that article, meaning that this is where someone clicking Flockton & Abbott is redirected to. Four solutions come to mind: 1—retitle the table in the article, 2—add a second table to the article for buildings by the successor firms, 3—retitle the article to be about Flockton firms in general rather than just William Flockton, 4—start new articles for the successor firms. Do you have a preference? Thanks, —Jeremy (talk) 14:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

It's a pity that the hall is so inaccessible, though the military have probably saved it from being swept away. I'll probably move the William Flockton article to a new title and make it more general about the Flockton architects. There seems to be so little information published about the individual Flocktons that that makes sense. —Jeremy (talk) 17:55, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've moved the article to Flockton (architects) and started work on expanding its scope. See what you think. I'm not sure whether or not to continue the history beyond Gibbs becoming the senior partner, although I see some 20th century buildings attributed to Flockton & Gibbs rather than the other way round; also there are some 1930s buildings attributed to Flockton & Son but I know nothing about this firm. —Jeremy (talk) 02:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Upperthorpe, Sheffield, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gymnasium and Netherthorpe (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Gleadless Valley (ward), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.worldwizzy.com/learn/index.php/Gleadless_Valley.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Copy & paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Gleadless Valley a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Gleadless Valley (ward). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. 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. Road Wizard (talk) 11:11, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry if you thought I was accusing you of vandalism. Copy and paste moves cause problems for Wikipedia but they are generally made by people who are not familiar with the move tool. The notice above explains the problem and alternative ways you can deal with these situations in future.

In terms of the present case, an admin should be around shortly and delete the ward article. We can then move the old article to Gleadless Valley (ward) (which will leave a redirect at Gleadless Valley). At that point you can overwrite the redirect with your new article text. Regards, Road Wizard (talk) 11:32, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Gleadless Valley is now free for you to post your new article. Road Wizard (talk) 14:43, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mick. Firstly, let me say you've done cracking work in your sandbox, thorough research not seen often enough. I have however noted a few errors I would like to address, might I ask you move your content to the article so that others may contribute as if you amend your sandbox, the version I am working on will be outdated. Thanks, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 16:26, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Cheers Mick, I had sandboxed a bit and implemented the changes. I've also created Holy Cross Church, Gleadless Valley as a result of your own sandbox. Thanks, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 21:42, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

William John Hale

Excellent work, I'd say. Most informative. Bmcln1 (talk) 22:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Five Arches

That's interesting - thanks for tracking that down. I've got a couple of maps which show the postcode boundary as immediately west of the viaduct, but that could be an approximation. Herries Road is definitely in S6 west of the junction with Herries Road South, and definitely in S5 east of the viaduct, but it might even be that the boundary isn't clearly defined there. Maybe it would make sense to include it in both lists, with a note - what do you think? Warofdreams talk 22:47, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

The Teamwork Barnstar

Hi Mick, I really enjoyed the article on W J Hale! I'm doing some research about Sheffield architect William John Hale and his own home Tainby and I wondered if you could help me. Do you have any more information about the house? In particular i'm trying to find out why he called it Tainby? Also, in your Wikipedia article on him you say he died at his house, where did you read that? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! - James Jimmyp501 (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello James, thanks for your message regarding William John Hale. It seems that Hale was quite a private person and there is very little information about him in the public domain. Most of the information for the Wikipedia article came from a Sheffield Undergraduate dissertation by N.D. Wilson which was eventually published in 1998 in the "Chapel Society Miscellany 1". It does not give a reason as to why Hale called his house "Tainby" but it does say that he died at the house. I managed to get a copy of the book from abebooks.com but there are very few copies around as far as I can see. This Link also gives a bit of information on the building. If you need any further help please contact me. Best regards Mick Knapton (talk) 15:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Contact for copyright information

Hi Mick,

I'd like to use a modified version of one of your photos for a book I'm co-authoring. Didn't know if the old hotmail address from 2007 is still one you use. Can I email you to talk credit line/copyright permissions?

Sheffield area articles

Great to see you creating yet more fantastic articles! I've reverted the unreferenced additions to the Stanedge Pole article, and I'll try to keep a bit of an eye on it; I noticed your previous revert and agreed with it.

It's also great to see the S6 article nearly complete. I'll leave High Lea in the list until I eventually create an S35 article; in the meantime, there's still the potential to take photos in most of the rest of the city! Warofdreams talk 17:15, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mick, Hope you don't mind but I have a favour to ask if that's OK? I notice that you have previously used The Wednesday Boys (ISBN 0-9547264-9-9) as a reference and wondered if you could check something for me? I gather the book states that Joe Cockroft made 198 wartime appearances for Wednesday, scoring 13 goals. Could you just confirm this and let me know the page number for the ref please?

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Paris-Brussels Map.JPG

You uploaded or restored , File:Paris-Brussels Map.JPG, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work:
please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers.

When you have copmpleted the above steps:

• If the {{media by uploader}} tag is present please add, a |claimed=yes parameter to the tag.
• If the {{img-unclaimed}} tag is present, please change it to {{img-claimed}}

to indicate that you've accepted the given the license shown, and updated the file description page appropriately.

If it's not entirely your own work, or the media is based on the work of others:
Please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or {{own}}, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers. You should also read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission which details how to confirm any permissions you obtained for works by others that are still in copyright.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If media is not claimed, and there's no other obvious source or authorship information, the file may have to be removed for copyright reasons.

It's okay to remove or strike messages like this once the concerns have been addressed. :). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:20, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Paris-Brussels Map.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Paris-Brussels Map.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 did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
