[edit] Round Tower
Well, I went to look up the book and found the ISBN number does not exist.So I searched on the title and found ISBN 1860591140 Irish Round Towers (Irish treasures series) by Roger Stalley Publisher: Country House. Amazon.com has a 1-2 month shipping time on this title and its sales rank puts in the category of rarelysold, in addition no other book quotes from this book according to Amazons database, a further sign of its obscurity. Further I discovered there are dozens of books on this same subject. So I concluded this is not a notable book in this field of study, just one of many non-scholarly popular titles. So I searched for a book that is notable and replaced it with one that stands out from the crowd, since Wikipedia lists notable and important titles, not comprehensive bibliographys of every book published, or editors favorites. Basically, there has to be some kind of justification or reason why this book is notable enough to be listed and not the dozens of others. Stbalbach 09:29, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- caveat my original edit did have a typo (so fair play for your diligence in fact checking) - an extra 5 in the ISBN, that aside I find your method and criteria slightly out of whack, Amazon.com "5-7 weeks " for lalor versus "1-2 months" for stalley + 1 review from a book reading club in wisconsin. I could say ;-) "Basically, there has to be some kind of justification or reason why this book is notable enough to be listed and not the dozens of others.". I purchased the Stalley book in the National Museum of Ireland (which must have some idea about things ancient in ireland), Stalley is a Professor of the History of Art at Trinty College Dublin, he has published 3-4 books on various aspects of ancient irish history,and on on a victorian architect. I have read the Salley book (or to fair to it - booklet) found it a good source of knowledge and information on round towers and at the time decided it was a valid addition to the article. I therefore am going to return my reference, with the end result being that between the both of us, over the last month we have added two references on a subject where before there was none. best regards Kglavin 00:25, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] National Ploughing Championships
hi, I got a list of venues from the NPA in the post this morning of all Championships held since '31; it's amazing what you get when you ask I suppose. You may want to have a look over it to see if it might need some tidying. :)
[edit] Dublin image layout
Not sure if your intent to tidy up the layout of the Dublin article images had the result you expected. Placing the "climate" image on the right has now split the intro paragraph in 2, with a large amount of whitespace interfering with readability. If no objection, I may just move the whole image frame down to the "Dublin Region" section further down the page.
- yes if you can make it tidier please do, the way it was the TOC was taking over the whole image. Kglavin 12:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:M197-uh1d20mm.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:M197-uh1d20mm.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 03:34, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Charles gavan duffy.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Charles gavan duffy.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. -- Longhair 02:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Orcad schematic capture.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:Orcad schematic capture.PNG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 15:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spam in Caherdaniel
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Caherdaniel, by 66.93.209.195, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Caherdaniel is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Caherdaniel, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Caherdaniel itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 02:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
