Linking to other articles
[edit]Hi
I saw your draft article. To link to another wikipedia article you use the [[ and ]] square brackets. Put two left brackets [[ before the name of the article you want to link to and two right brackets ]] after it so to link to the article on Lambeth School of Art you would type [[Lambeth School of Art]] resulting in Lambeth School of Art.
Alternatively above the edit screen is a toolbar, the fourth button from the left is the intenral link button. So you could type Lambeth School of Art, highlight that piece of text and then click on the button for the same result. The <ref> </ref> you were using is about prodcing footnotes - an entirely different but equally important topic.
If you want any more help just leave a message at my talk page. Is Alfred Garth Jones an ancestor of yours? Best wishes. NtheP (talk) 14:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- It was the right place to answer :-) Just rememebr to sign your name with ~~~~ four tildes. It automatically enters your name and a date/timestamp. Good luck with things. NtheP (talk) 14:26, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! GarthJones (talk) 14:41, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Alfred Garth Jones
[edit]Thank you for your message!
First question: Unfortunately, linking to different language wiki isn't possible. What is possible is linking to it as a "translation"- for example, if there was a Jerome Doucet article on the English Wikipedia, typing [[fr:James Doucet]] at the end of the article would create a "language" tool box at the bottom of the menu on the left hand side of the screen (see Apple as an example). These links link to the article, so they arent really translations- compare the English Apple and the Romanian apple articles. If you would like to, creating the redlink Jérôme Doucet in your article is fine. A bit off topic, but you can link to articles on other Wikimedia projects, like Wikitionary. See WP:SIS. You can also link to an article in another language as an external link- for example, [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Doucet Jérôme Doucet], which would produce Jérôme Doucet. However, using this article as a reference would be [[WP:CIRCLULAR|circular referencing, which isn't allowed.
Question 2: If you're asking about how to say that he went by his middle name, there isn't anything specific. If he most commonly used the name Garth Jones, the article name would be Garth Jones while the first sentence would say something like, "Alfred Garth Jones was a..." . For an example, see Scotty Bowman. You would also create a redirect to the article from the name "Alfred Garth Jones"- see Wikipedia:Redirect. That way, anyone searching Alfred Garth Jones would be redirected to Garth Jones.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions! Liqudluck✽talk 21:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John F. Fort (Tyco)
[edit]
A tag has been placed on John F. Fort (Tyco) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Fair use rationale for File:Alfred Garth Jones Queen Anne.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Alfred Garth Jones Queen Anne.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:41, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
File copyright problem with File:Alfred Garth Jones Queen Anne.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:Alfred Garth Jones Queen Anne.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILYsock(TALK) 06:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Catherine Christian
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Catherine Christian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Paste Let’s have a chat. 11:28, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Yes, text on other websites is copyrighted unless the site says otherwise. If you want to rewrite the content then I suggest you start completely from scratch without constantly looking at the source text. If you just modify the text a little then the new version is still copyrighted. If you want further help feel free to ask. Hut 8.5 20:21, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
The article Groove Unlimited has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable music label. No independent refs. No evidence of charting.
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
