Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in LMS Jubilee Class 5699 Galatea, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. We don't write "19th May 2013" but "19 May 2013", see MOS:BADDATEFORMAT. Thank you. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:39, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:45699 galatea at dereham on the mid norfolk railway.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:45699 galatea at dereham on the mid norfolk railway.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 14:57, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:45699 galatea at dereham on the mid norfolk railway.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:45699 galatea at dereham on the mid norfolk railway.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. De728631 (talk) 21:20, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to LNER Class A4 4489 Dominion of Canada may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• shipping date was delayed, so 60007 could not be secured for the date due to commitments at the [[North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 14:10, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Altamel. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Ken Marcus without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Altamel (talk) 20:44, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ken Marcus with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 22:23, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Ken Marcus with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 22:28, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Peter Mayhew. Mlpearc (open channel) 18:46, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
