The Bill

Formatting

Hey Mark, thanks for your recent edits to The Bill page. I have reverted many edits from PC Sally who keeps moving Billy Rowan and Sally Armstrong into the main cast list from the upcoming character changes list. --NeilEvans 21:55, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your message NeilEvans. I'm always happy to help, I am also getting rather annoyed with users such as PC Sally Armstrong etc, but glad to know I'm not the only one. Cheers. User talk:Mark bickley 19:15 1st July '07

The Bill: Next Episode

Thanks for your effort adding this, but I had to zap it as a copyright violation - we can't just run press releases! Although an official press release might be usable as a source ... Do our Bill articles usually include a complete article for each episode? I see it's already listed in List of The Bill episodes/23 - David Gerard 22:41, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of The Bill episodes/23 is very rarely updated, and I didn't think there would be a problem as the press centre release is published on many forums etc. I had the plan of updating The Bill: Previous Episode and The Bill: Next Episode weekly with the new episode guides, but please accept my apologies for violating wikipedia's copyright policies, I did not realise User talk:Mark bickley 19:50 July 5th '07

June 2008

Hello Mark, I have changed your edits on The Bill article. I think it is much more logical to have Uniformed Constables as exactly that instead of Police Constables because if you have the DCs and the PCs it gives the misconception that the PCs are the only police in the list, thank you. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 15:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC) Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 15:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Police,Mad,Jack. I'm afraid I will have to disagree with you on this. Whilst I agree that it may be clearer for those who are unfamiliar with UK Police Ranks, the actual title for constables in uniform is Police Constable, hence their prefix of PC rather than UC as would be appropriate to Uniformed Constable. Similarly with Sergeants in uniform being commonly refered to as Police Sergeants, hence their prefix being PS respectively (although not as widely used and dependent on force culture). As I said, I agree that it may be unclear in this context, but because this is the recognised way I feel it should stay. And surely the fact that DCs remain to have Constable in their title at the absence of Police gives similar connotations? I will post the subject on The Bill's disscussion page in order to archive opinions of other editors. Coincidentally, looking at the history on The Bill at the moment, it would appear another editor agrees with me. Please make your views clear on the discussion page. Many thanks. Mark Bickley 19:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although I do not disagree with you, I do think it should be made known that PCs and DCs are both police. Because if you knew little about ranks, personally if it was me I would be tempted to think it was only the characters with the "Police" prefix who were in such a service. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 14:00, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you Police,Mad,Jack, but I don't think that The Bill is the place to do this. The page is dedicated to providing information on the programme, not the distinction between ranks in the police. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to add this information to Constable and Sergeant, as the sole purpose of these pages is to give information on those ranks? Mark Bickley 18:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, fair enough. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: July 2008

I understand your concern, rest assured you did not seem annoying. As I would have done the same in your position. But if it was the case where I truely branded another editors work as "Bollocks" trough the use of the swearword your warning would be fully justified. But I was actually referring to Wikipedia:Complete bollocks, it can be proved that this is what I meant due to me redirecting the page to "WP:Bollocks" whereas if I was using it as the general swear word I surely I would not have bothered to put "WP:" before. I understand that my redirect was not correct as it did not link, but please understand my actions were not as you thought. Many thanks, yours.

Template:Characters of The Bill (Detective Constables)

Hi
I saw that you removed the transclusion of Template:Characters of The Bill (Detective Constables) on a number of character pages, probably because it was broken. I fixed it and restored it in Kezia Walker, but maybe you had a different reason for removing them?
Cheers, Amalthea (talk) 23:08, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Amalthea. Yes I removed the template, but only because it was broken. Well done for repairing it, feel free to add it to any other relevant pages. Mark Bickley 09:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't, by the way, since apparently it was used in the wrong places anyway. When I looked through it, all of the detective constables from the template were showing it.

RE: T/DC Kezia Walker

I thought she had passed her training period with CID, to become detective trained out of uniform it takes a year, and she's been in it since 2006. Also I'm sure I remember her being nervous in one of the episodes because she was going for her final examinations, but on The Bill website it says she's still a TDC, strange, huh?

Replaceable fair use Image:Sallyrogers2.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Sallyrogers2.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kurt Shaped Box 14:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This picture is important because it demonstrates Sally Rogers out of her television acting appearances and is used to characterize her as herself, rather than as a character. It is difficult to find an alternative image that does the same. User talk: Mark bickley 16:45, 19th July '07

Hi Mark. Have a read of Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Examples_of_unacceptable_use, specifically point 17. Fair-use images of living people are almost never allowed on WP. It would be relatively easy for a fan to take/upload a photo of Sally Rogers and release it under GFDL or into the public domain (I have seen several such photos posted elsewhere on the web in the past). --Kurt Shaped Box 18:47, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Mark, you cannot simply use Google Images to find pictures of The Bill's cast and upload them to WP claiming that you created them. Using Photoshop to flip them doesn't mean that you 'created' the image. Kurt Shaped Box 20:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your alternate account at 90.240.240.173

Hello Mark. Someone has nominated for deletion your redirect of the user talk of your IP account, 90.240.240.173 (talk · contribs) over to the Talk page of your regular logged-in account, which I believe is this page here. This leads to a puzzling situation. Though it is not forbidden to have multiple accounts, your creation of a redirect seems unusual. Is there a specific reason why you would want to use both accounts, instead of just using the logged-in account? If you were to just ignore the IP account and stop using it, nothing bad would happen. The RFD debate is here. EdJohnston 02:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EdJohnston. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I created the redirect because I kept forgetting to log in before editing and I dont check the talk page of my IP, so had anyone wanted to discuss any edits I made with my IP rather than my account, then they could add it on my account talk page and I would notice it. I have now removed it to avoid any unnecessary confrontation with other users. Thanks again. user talk:Mark bickley 18:25 22nd July '07

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lisa goodall.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Lisa goodall.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.BetacommandBot (talk) 12:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Map.PNG

Thank you for uploading File:Map.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. 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.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. Rodhull andemu 00:05, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:TDC William Fletcher.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:TDC William Fletcher.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξ ^xplicit 04:46, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Mark bickley! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. 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 this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 6 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
