Welcome!

Hello, Brownandwhite, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Christ's Politics Society, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Proposed deletion of Christ's Politics Society

The article Christ's Politics Society has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No real indication of notability. Student organisation with only reference is to facebook. fails notability guidelines for organisations

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 21:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A file which is licensed only for non-commercial use cannot be used in Wikipedia, because Wikipedia licenses its content for free reuse, including for commercial use. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:39, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:43, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on St Albans School (Hertfordshire). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:44, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

St Albans School (Hertfordshire)

You posted on my talk page to say "I am nothing to do with the school", but you have uploaded a copy of the school coat of arms, saying "the copyright holder grants any entity the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law." Where do you get that information from? I can find no evidence of such a release on the school's web site. I also notice that you made that statement a little over three hours after you had posted the statement that the image was released only for non-commercial use. What had happened in the meanwhile to cause you to change your mind? JamesBWatson (talk) 20:14, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After 4 days you have not responded to my request for clarification of this copyright issue. Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion allow for deletion of a file with a claim of copyright permission, but no evidence of that permission, seven days after the uploader has been notified. I have never heard of a school releasing its badge into the public domain, and I can find no evidence that this school has done so: for example, the school's web site does not, as far as I can see, say so. Please clarify the copyright of this image, or it will be deleted. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:52, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
