Ok, the above is the template welcome, this is the personal one. For a first article, Amanda Berry was exceptional. I really mean that: very, very few first articles submitted reach this standard. If you want numbers, it is something like one in 200. You must have done some study on how-to-wikipedia! Anyway, very well done. I hope you will continue to contribute. Regards, David_FLXD (Talk) 19:36, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:BAFTA award.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:BAFTA award.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 16:33, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Nick. I see you've been focusing on BAFTA articles and that makes your edits a conflict of interest. You should, at least, place a note here somewhere that indicates that you are employed by the organisation about which you're making edits. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, will do! Nickwilliams45 (talk) 16:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
About me
[edit]I'm Nick Williams. I've worked at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) since 2006, and I'm here to contribute and clarify information on Wikipedia related to BAFTA to help people's understanding of what the organisation is, what it does, and why.
There are so many pages here related to BAFTA and its awards, and most of it is great, but there are some places where the historical information in our archive and the information displayed here don't, for whatever reason, marry up. It's my job to make sure that Wikipedia is home to the most reliable and accurate information on BAFTA on the web, definitely not to pass comment or judgement on its work or indeed censor the views of others. I'm just here to help with the consistency of some of the naming conventions used across the site, for example, and contribute to a fuller and better informed background of BAFTA on the web.
I don't have much experience with Wikipedia so it's a steep learning curve for me; if you've got any questions about the changes I'm making or suggesting, please don't hesitate to contact me.
You can find my details at www.bafta.org/press/press-contact-details.
