Is there any more verifiable information you can add to the Mickey Finn (Irish fiddler) article? Be careful to keep it neutral, as being the brother of Mickey you might be seen by editors to have a conflict of interest. However, this doesn't preclude you from adding stuff.

Hi Johnny,

I noticed that you have added a lot of text copied from web articles. This a breach of copyright, see Wikipedia:Copyright violations, and is more serious as you are not, being the subject's brother, editing from a Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. A person close a subject can edit that subject's article, indeed they may be a particularly valuable editor, but great care needs to be taken that what is added is neutral and certainly does not violate copyright. I am assuming that you added, and have continued to add, the material in good faith as a new editor, but can I suggest that you read the two links above?

Please remove the recent copyright violation text you have added immediately.

I copy edited the article to make it survivable, but you are putting its existence, and your editorship, in jeopardy. Acabashi (talk) 20:50, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Frankie Gavin (Irish fiddle player)

edit

I have added a short article for Frankie Gavin if you are interested. You will see that every statement has in-line citations to a source that supports the claim. Acabashi (talk) 23:49, 27 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Welcome!

Hi Johnny--nice to see you editing here. I noticed Mickey_Finn_(Irish_fiddler) through the Advertiser article. Do you know how to add stuff as citations with <ref>'s? For Wikipedia, neutrality and citing sources is really key. If you have questions or need help, feel free to get in touch! Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 10:51, 21 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Shannon River Basin: Furthest Source

edit
 

The article Shannon River Basin: Furthest Source has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

It is WP:Original research. They should publish it somewhere else first. When/if it is published somewhere else then the publication can be referenced in the article about the Shannon so there will be no reason then for this article either.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. In Longest rivers of the United Kingdom, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Churn (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Replaceable fair use File:Ireland's River Basins map Reference Table.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Ireland's River Basins map Reference Table.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. Diannaa (talk) 23:56, 29 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
