Thank you for uploading [[:File:South_African_Naval_Ensign.gif]]. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the '''license''' and the '''source''' of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a '''[[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|copyright tag]]''' to the [[Help:Image page|image description page]]. |
|||
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=upload&user=Astrotrain this link]. |

Further details from [http://www.utne.com/pub/1999_75/view/158-1.html] may imply that we got the wrong Princess as it mentions "Princess Augusta of Prussia" |

== Queens == |
|||
Good evening, |
|||
==Orphaned non-free image (File:Queen bombings silence.jpg)== |
|||
I notice that you reverted at least two of my edits and called them 'nonsense'. Two of my edits were to conform the openings of the Queen Mary (consort of George V) and Queen Elizabeth (consort of George VI) to that of Queen Alexandra (consort of Edward VII), the latter of which seemed to exhibit an intelligent template for articles about Queens consort of the UK (though I did not create it). My other edit was to insert 'Queen' (but not 'Her Majesty') before the name of 'Elizabeth II', and amend the misrepresentation of 'Windsor' as her surname. Merely having 'Elizabeth II' for an article entry in a conventional paper encyclopaedia is sensical in order to maintain the easy flow of alphabetical order, but Wikipedia fortunately need not concern itself with that issue. I am keen to understand your reasoning behind these reversions. |

Hello, |

As a party in ''[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles|The Troubles]]'' arbitration case I am notifying you that an amendment request has been posted '''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment#Amendment_1:_New_remedy:_Discretionary_Sanctions|here]]'''. |

I am still awaiting a response from you. In the meantime I see you've reverted another of my edits with the explanation of 'rv-consensus'. How is consensus formed, and where may I see proof of it?

The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list: |

===Unfair treatment of 3RR block by William C discussion=== |
|||
If the user who blocked me for 3RR would look at the 4th edit specified, they would see that this edit was a compromise attempt- and was not a revert back to the previous version |

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the [[WP:AfD|articles for deletion]] template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. |

::: That is not a good enough reason to block me for 24 hours. I was expanding the article to address the concerns of the user as listed on the talk page (and noted in my edit summary). The 4th edit is clearly not a revert to the third version. Note that other 3RR guidlines have not been followed- for example there was no 3RR warning posted on my talk page- and the other user never raised any further concerns with my edit- leading me to assume he agreed with the change. I strongly ask for this to be reconsidered. [[User:Astrotrain|Astrotrain]] 10:14, 29 September 2006 (UTC) |

:I've denied your unblock request, as you definitely did violate the 3RR. Keep in mind, the 3RR exists only to lay down a specific maximum beyond which ''anyone'' violating it should be blocked. But revert-warring (which is what you were doing: changing the article back to your preferred version) is very harmful to Wikipedia: after someone reverts your change you should discuss the issue, and you have to accept that the state of the article may be in your non-preferred version for some time.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Alexandra independence.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|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: |
|||
# Go to [[:File:Alexandra independence.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text <code><nowiki>{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}</nowiki></code> '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. |
|||
# On [[File talk:Alexandra independence.jpg|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, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|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). |

==RBS== |

So much for compromising on keeping Gaelic in the text, but out of the infobox. Difficult to come to a consensus on the question when you're set on having your own way. I'll repeat my earlier suggestion: split the article in two. One on the RBS, one on RBS Group. End of problem.

:Today (or yesterday rather) it's Calgacus. But Mais oui! has done the same, and MacRusgail commented in favour of Gaelic on the talk page, An Siarach wasn't exactly thrilled by your attitude either. It's verifiably the case that the RBS's retial banking arm trades under the name ''Banca Rìoghail na h-Alba'', as well as ''Royal Bank of Scotland''. If you don't want to mention ''Banca Rìoghail na h-Alba'' in the intro, and you don't want to split the article, then the very least you can do is to mention it under Retail Banking. Would I be right in thinking that this has now spread to ''Banca Dhail Chluaidh'', and that it's only a matter of time until ''Bhanca na h-Alba'' suffers too ? You'll have noticed that the dubious use of warning tags has a way of taking a life of its own. [[User:Angusmclellan|Angus McLellan]] [[User talk:Angusmclellan|(Talk)]] 21:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC) |

::Well, experience tells me that Mais oui! is not given to compromise. So let me make yet another suggestion. Redo the intro something like this:<blockquote>The Royal Bank of Scotland {{lang-gd|Banca Rìoghail na h-Alba}} can trace its origins to 1727 when it was founded by royal charter of King George I.

==Disputed non-free use rationale for File:203301 queen and menem shake hands300.jpg== |
|||
==Harp== |
|||
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]] |
|||
The harp was also used as a symbol by the Old English of Ireland, hence its connection with modern Irish nationalsim. But the harp, or Clarsach, is also Scottish, and can be found in (Pictish) Scotland earlier than in any other European country. "Harper" was a common Anglophone Scottish surname of later medieval Scotland (compare Piper). King [[James I of Scotland]], one of the most Anglicized Scottish kings, was nevertheless famous throughout Scotland, England and Ireland as a harper, and harpers were maintained at the Scottish court from at least the 13th century until the end of the Scottish kingdom. The same is not true for the bagpipes, which only became common in Scotland rather late and was not Scottish. I sense your hostility to the harp comes from your hostility to Gaelic, but the two are connected by no more necessity than Gaelic and the kingdom of the Scots itself.

==Alba== |
|||
==Orphaned non-free image File:Edward Sophie Wedding.jpg== |
|||
Your POV pushing is becoming ridiculous now. Alba, besides being the native name for the kingdom (incidentally used in the native language of most of those kings on that list), is also used in English, e.g. Driscoll, ''Alba: The Gaelic Kingdom of Scotland AD 800-1124 (The Making of Scotland)'', Woolf ''From Pictland to Alba''. "Scotland" is only a term used by as an exonym from the late 11th century, and then only as ''Scotia''. "Scotland" is not used in any Scottish source until the 14th century, whereas Alba refers to the Kingdom, either "Pictland" or "Scotland", from the dark ages until the present. To quote myself, "the term "Scotland" is much later than the earliest kings of "Scotland", and Alba was the name for both Pictland and Scotland, and remains to this day the Gaelic name for the country". So you're going to have grave difficulties POV-pushing on this particular issue. Why don't you go to [[Selkirk]] and help the anon remove the Gaelic name there. ;) '''[[User:Calgacus|Calgacus]] (''[[User talk:Calgacus|ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ]]'')''' 14:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC) |

I have followed some of your disputes, for example those on the naming of Scottish banks, and see that you are up against the same problem as some of us Orcadian contributors, namely a "Spin Scotland" lobby determined to push its POV and promote its own image of the country regardless of what the facts are. |

On a slightly related note, the succession crisis occasioned by Charlotte Augusta's death might deserve an article of its own.

== Replaceable == |

Hi. "Replaceability" is defined by Wikipedia as an image that ''could'' be replaced by a free image. It does not mean that the image has to exists freely yet, or that I, the tagger, have to present an image to replace the current one. I'm sorry you consider these messages spam, but I am being courteous in notifying you that the image you uploaded could be deleted and allowing you to possibly find an image to replace it. I realize it is frustrating because your efforts could be deleted, but it's just application of Wikipedia policy, it's nothing personal and doesn't reflect upon you as an editor. Please don't take it personally. --[[User:Mecu|<font color="CEBE70">'''MECU'''</font>]]≈<small>[[User talk:Mecu|talk]]</small> 13:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC) |

Hi Astrotrain, just wanted to drop off a friendly reminder that xfD discussions aren't a vote... the action to be taken on an item nominated for deletion is based on the positions and opinions put forth by the contributors to the discussion, not by simple vote-counting. To that end, simple statements of "Keep" and "Delete" don't really help inform the discussion, and are likely to be discounted by the closing admin. If you could provide some insight as to your reason for your opinion, that will really help, even if you're just agreeing with the nominator.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Argentina Falklands sign.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[WP:O|orphaned]], meaning that it is 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. [[WP:BOLD|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 under fair use (see [[Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy|our fair use policy]]). |

I tried to tag him, but he kept removing it. He has also removed other warning messages from his talk page. I tried restoring them, but he reverts me and has now "banned" me from his talk page (I don't know if he can actually do that or not...). I have reported him for investigation, here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_investigation#Vintagekits_.28talk.C2.A0.C2.B7_contribs.C2.A0.C2.B7_logs.C2.A0.C2.B7_block_user.C2.A0.C2.B7_block_log.29), so hopefully we'll get some kind of decision.

My post, copied from the above AfD, FYI: |
|||
:When nominated this article was a stub. I did a google search, which quickly revealed an abundance of sources with significant mentions, including national press, TV documentary, questions in parliament and references by politicians. I have added this information to the article and greatly increased it, but I find it extraordinary that the nom either didn't do a google search, or, if he did, didn't see these results, or, if he did see them, failed to recognise their value. Badly researched AfD nominations not only waste community time, but stand to deprive the encyclopedia of worthwhile articles. I note the nominator has also proposed "a number of similar pages for AfD", and I trust he will check carefully to ensure that that is the right course of action for them. It could otherwise look very much like bad faith noms, which is a form of vandalism. |

#you reverted my edit stating that you considered is POV and vandalism, can you please explain both of those ascertions please. |

#As the target of the attack you stated "Christmas shoppers at Harrods" - can you clarify this answer as from all the reports that I have read on the issue the store and not the shoppers were the target and this was confirmed by the prior phoned warning to evacuate. |
|||
#Your reverted the article from showing that is was a [[PIRA]] attack to state that was an [[IRA]] - what is your reasoning behind this? |
|||
#You deleted the time of the explosion and replaced it with "Unfortunately they did not have time to defuse it" - a. why did you delete the time and b. "Unfortunately" may be correct but it is POV. can you explain these statements? |
|||
#The article previously stated the line "Three officers and three civilians (including one citizen of the [[United States]]) were killed." but then you deleted, can you please explain this. |
|||
#you removed the line "It stated that a bomb was placed the C&A deptartment store on the east side of [[Oxford Street]], [[London]]." and replaced it with "They claimed a bomb had been placed in the heart of [[Oxford Street]]. It was said to be at the C&A store on the east side of the shopping street." the later sounds messy and POV can you explain the edit. regards |

Thank you for uploading File:South_African_Naval_Ensign.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris 01:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Astrotrain! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 872 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- Lolly (singer) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Katharine, Duchess of Kent - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

AfD nomination of List of Canadian flags
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of Canadian flags. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Canadian flags. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:04, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Garrison HQ, Dhekelia.jpg

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

The article Leo Blair has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This article falls foul of WP:NOTINHERITED, just that he is the son of Tony Blair doesn't make him notable. He has done nothing noteworthy yet (as he is only 11). Propose making it a redirect to Tony Blair like Blair's other children. Relevant information in this article could be included under the "Marriage and children" section.
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. SpeakFree (talk) 12:49, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Alexandra independence.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:
- 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. - 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. DrKiernan (talk) 18:16, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:203301 queen and menem shake hands300.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:203301 queen and menem shake hands300.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:49, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
