When User:Sideways713/Bill Bonthron gets moved to mainspace the Champions Day article should link to that as well.Naraht (talk) 14:08, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Was he from Detroit? I don't recall seeing the name before.

He is in the "Other honored at the party, third from the end".Naraht (talk) 14:48, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Ah... one of names I don't know as much about. I read the story on him and couldn't find the Detroit connection. Rrbee (talk) 14:51, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

I just quickly went through the other honored looking for them on Wikipedia. Found one in mainspace, and this one in userspace (Given that the article has been created to this size in the last 48 hours, I would expect it will move to mainspace soon.)Naraht (talk) 14:56, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Champions Day may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"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.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 14:44, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Champions Day

C is fairly good for an assessment, while going through articles I generally don't go over that. Main thing I would suggest is to write out the refs. Right now they are just URLs, use Template:cite web and Template:cite news to flesh them out and provide titles, publishers, etc. Wizardman 23:54, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. When you get a chance, can you look at the first 5 references? I think this is what you mean by writing out the refs.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called RedRamage. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name RedRamage~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Kelly, can you help me understand where the issue is here. The contents of the image is a press release made by a city gov't in 1936. I understand that just because it's a city gov't release doesn't make it public domain necessarily, but I believe it would qualify under the https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Template:PD-US-no_notice tag.

But the image itself (which is just a scan of a copy of the original "press release") was sent to me specifically for use on wikipedia. Is the image itself what's being called into question or the content of the image? If it's the image itself, would the individual who "owned" the copy of the PR and who scanned it for me be considered the owner? RedRamage (talk) 02:50, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

File source problem with File:City council proclaims champions day.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:City council proclaims champions day.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, BOT-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate your file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Roary (Detroit Lions)

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 Roary (Detroit Lions) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.detroitlions.com/football-education/roary/about-roary and https://www.detroitlions.com/football-education/roary/programs. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I don't remember making that page... I imagine I probably did and it was probably quite a while page and I probably didn't do a very good job on it. In short, I don't really doubt that I used copyrighted material so it probably was the right move to delete the page. But man... it disappeared so fast that I had no chance to look at it and see what I did wrong or if it could be fixed/corrected. That's a bit of a bummer. RedRamage (talk) 16:36, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
