HP.115 Image

Thanks for adding the File:Handley page 115.jpg to the Handley Page HP.115 article. Just like to be clear that you are the copyright holder perhaps you could add to the image page on commons that your Uncle actually took the photograph and was the copyright holder before he passed the original to yourself. At the moment it reads as if he just give you a copy of the picture which is not the same thing and may possibly be challenged and deleted in the future. Thanks.

Copyright

I have added the line that he took the photo. Is that sufficient?

It should be OK, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 09:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Editing

Some advice which I hope will be useful. When inserting links to other Wikipedia articles you should insert them like this [[Osea Island]], not be an external URL. Using an external URL stops the WP "what links here" and other tools working properly. You removed a {{reflist}} template from Maldon, Essex. I don't know why you did this, but this template inserts the citations quoted in the article in a list at the end and needs to remain in the article. I've reinserted it now. Thanks. Unusual?

Sutton with Shopland

This article seems to be a copyright violation of the only source used for the article. Am I missing something? ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:58, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't think you can copy content in that way unless we know the content is public domain. Can you cut it down to just a couple sentences that summarize the content? ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I have reverted your change of Sutton to Sutton with Shopland on List of civil parishes in Essex for the time being. I have done this because I can find no evidence that the civil parish name has been officially changed. Even the Sutton with Shopland Parish Council Website refers to members of Sutton Parish Council so I presume that the name has not yet been changed. If you know any differently, can you cite a reference. I noticed that you are a new editor and learning the ropes (there are a lot of them to learn as I know only too well), so I hope you don't mind me saying, if you post a reply, post it here - I'll watch your Talk Page. That means that it is possible to follow discussions without flicking back and forth between Talk Pages. Good luck with your editing! Skinsmoke (talk) 23:12, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I can see this looks confusing. I assumed as the website was called suttonwithshoplandparishcouncil.com and the village sign conveys the same, that would be the name of the parish, However I can see your point about the "Membership of Sutton Parish Council". All the local signs on entering the parish have Sutton with Shopland on them too. I cannot verify this at present, but I have sent an email to the Parish Clerk to try to clear up the confusion. Meanwhile I will try find some other evidence.

Reply from Parish Clerk: "Hello Terry The area is known locally as Sutton with Shopland. Shopland was amalgamated with Sutton in the fifties when Shopland Church was pulled down. Bomb damage finished it off. Artifacts were removed and went to Sutton Church and others. Shopland churchyard is rededicated every year. Sutton with Shopland has a Parish council known as Sutton Parish Council. I hope this helps Kind regards Barry Summerfield Sutton PC Clerk".

What would you like to do?

Terryjoyce (talk) 17:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Terry. Well the reply from the parish clerk really cleared up the confusion didn't it? Reading his reply, it appears that the parish is officially known as Sutton but is colloquially known as Sutton with Shopland. If that is the case, then the entry should remain as Sutton. Personally, I would argue that the article on the village should also be under Sutton with an explanation that it has been known locally as Sutton with Shopland since the 1950s, but that the name has never been changed officially. Why the hell the parish council doesn't just ask the District Council to formally change it and end all the confusion, God only knows! Only in England! Skinsmoke (talk) 23:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree the parish should remain as Sutton, however as the village is known as Sutton with Shopland the article should reflect this. I will add the information that the clerk provided. I agree it's silly that it was not officially changed. Terryjoyce (talk) 00:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Incidentally, I have just noticed another problem with the village article. Somehow, the accompanying map has transferred the village a few miles south west into the Borough of Thurrock. God knows how we remedy that - I've not even tried to master maps on Wikipedia yet (I can barely get my head round tables!). Skinsmoke (talk) 00:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I'll have a look and see what I can do. it might be an error with the grid ref. I've just uploaded another picture of the church. All saints sutton 040209.jpg Terryjoyce (talk) 00:55, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

The Lat & Long were wrong in the infobox. Well spotted. Terryjoyce (talk) 01:00, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I've tidied up the Introduction and Infobox to follow the standard Wikipedia format for UK places and added the Census 2001 population. As the piece now commenced Sutton I've also moved the page to Sutton, Essex, which has removed a few red links on other pages. Skinsmoke (talk) 02:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Copyright question about one of your images

See WP:MCQ#Is this a free image?. Steve Smith (talk) 16:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Apologies - it's now been archived to here. Steve Smith (talk) 03:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Steve, This is precisely why I'm mainly inactive on Wiki, because of this bullshit. The sign is in a public place, I took a photo of it and put it in the commons and have used it in the Wiki article on Shotgate. As far as i'm concerned it can be used.
