Orphaned non-free image File:Cedars School, Leighton Buzzard England Rugby 1st XV 1932.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Cedars School, Leighton Buzzard England Rugby 1st XV 1932.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:25, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ronald Hugh Barker has been accepted

Ronald Hugh Barker, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as B-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. This is a fantastic rating for a new article, and places it among the top 3% of accepted submissions — major kudos to you! You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Thank you for recording your familial conflict of interest on the draft. I have logged it on Talk:Ronald Hugh Barker using your own words. Fiddle Faddle 18:38, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a cracking first article. Very well done. There will be warts, but it can be wiser to be the article's father and let it graze its own knees, rather than to be its mother and to guard it jealously. We have a whole slew of stuff on this under WP:OWN which I am sure you have worked out already. Fiddle Faddle 18:42, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Avro Anson with first British LOPGAP guided missile 29 May 1945.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Avro Anson with first British LOPGAP guided missile 29 May 1945.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 10:50, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Fleet Air Arm Anson with first British LOPGAP telemetry guided missile 29 May 1945.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Fleet Air Arm Anson with first British LOPGAP telemetry guided missile 29 May 1945.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 11:45, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spam

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Laplace transform. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 12:01, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

I see you've contributed a bunch about Barker and his codes, and your user name points to that, and you've uploaded some of his old photos to commons. So I'm guessing you're a relative or something. It would be good if you'd just say, on your user page, or here. Then we could better advise on whether there are any potential WP:COI issues to deal with. Best to be up front. Thanks for your contributions. Dicklyon (talk) 04:54, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I just noticed Talk:Ronald Hugh Barker#COI which says you're his son. Thanks for disclosing already. Let me know (e.g. by a message on my user talk page) if I can help with Wikipedia logistics or content or anything. Dicklyon (talk) 05:09, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
