Fellow Salopian!

Hello there fellow Salopian! Thank you for creating various articles about local stuff. Can I ask that you add in future the Shropshire category thing at the bottom of each page you create (well, the ones that are about Shropshire)? To do so, put Category:Shropshire in between the internal link boxes (aka a wikilink) at the bottom of the page's editing text. It just helps pool all the hundreds of articles about Shropshire together!

Keep up the good work! David 17:01, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Battlefield

I usually reply in the other person's talk page as that way they will get a message saying that they have a new message (if you get what I mean). I don't think there is a rule.

See the Battlefield, Shropshire page and link in the Battlefield Enterprise Park article in from there. Try to create two individual articles for the village and the enterprise park.

You will find that Shropshire already has a huge number of articles - have a browse around the Shropshire categories (there are many more, branching off from the main category).

Non-free and unsourced images

Hi there. I've just looked through the images that you've uploaded, and many of them seem to have been uploaded under a mistaken understanding of the Wikipedia:Image use policy. Please, review that policy. Also, keep in mind that FreeFoto is a minefield for Wikipedia. The images there are not public domain, they are released under a non-commercial use only license, which Wikipedia cannot take advantage of because down-stream users of Wikipedia images are commercial.

Thank you for contributing, and I hope that you continue to do so, as you become more familiar with the policies of the site! -Harmil 15:37, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

First off, I want to be clear here. I haven't requested deletion of any images you've uploaded with one exception, and that one was just a duplicate. I've added the {{nosource}} tag, but that gives you plenty of time to decide what to do. I would suggest one of the following actions:

• Remove the images from the articles that link to them and provide external links (i.e. in the External links section) to the site that hosts the images.
• Or, you could take picutures to replace the images, upload them and change any articles to point to your new images (try to avoid uploading under the same name).
• Or, you could seek out the original authors and request permission for the images to be used under a license like the CC-BY-SA-2.5 or the GFDL.

I'm just going through tons of images (yours included) and sorting out the licensing status. I'm not making any judgements about you or your contributions beyond that technical detail. I know that it's frustrating to not be able to just use images that are out there on the Web, but Wikipedia needs to be able to offer its images to users of the Wikipedia site and its down-stream sites without fear of legal action.

Thank you again, and happy editing! -Harmil 15:51, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I've started a wiki dedicated to Shropshire and would be very pleased to have you add some of your content to it. [1]

Hey, just wondering if you'd be interested in being a member of a proposed WikiProject to cover Shropshire? The proposal can be found here. If you are, could you possibly put your name in the list. Thanks Asdfasdf1231234 (talk) 21:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Shuts and passages

Hi there - not Wikipedia related, but very much Shrewsbury related! Have a read of the following article about the new move by the County Council to add 20 of the shuts and passages in the town centre to the rights of way map.

http://shrewsburyforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1390

It's an important moment in getting many of the town's shuts and passages the protection they deserve. Would be most excellent if you could chip in with a letter of support or so. David (talk) 21:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Central trains logo.gif

A tag has been placed on Image:Central trains logo.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

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 [[ Talk:Image:Central trains logo.gif|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Shrewsbury

Seeing that you are one of the major contributors, this is a quick note to let you know that I have done some additions, mainly in terms of photos. In particular for your interests, I have added a paragraph about the Railway Station for its architectural interest. I think it can be described as mock Tudor but I am not well enough qualified in architecture to post such a claim on Wikipedia. You may like to copy that to your article on Shrewsbury railway station, but please leave it on the Shrewsbury article since it is of interest there. (I have found on someone's talk page a device for adding a new topic without clumsy edit of the whole Talk Page - feel free to copy it from my Talk Page.)

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.

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 05:12, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
