Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. It is a good idea to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the Talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it, to see if your proposed change has been discussed before. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the Talk page to see if anyone minds.

Hello, Steven (Editor). We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about in the article
BT Group, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. These concerns apply to your editing of BT Group and related BT companies and products. Edwardx ( talk) 22:39, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Winsford Academy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amalgamation. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 11:25, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello Steven (Editor), and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to
The Winsford Academy has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 02:01, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Woodford Lodge High School - Aerial View & Site Outline.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
No sorry, redirects are not about being a correct name its about redirecting to the right article, whatever someone types in it should take them to the right place. Bleaney ( talk) 13:19, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for the edit about The Winsford Academy, but I removed the information from Sullivan's article. You did not cite a WP:Reliable source for the information. See WP:V. I searched Google for a source discussing this matter but did not find one. The School's website shows that a house is called "Sullivan", but it does not explain the connection with the composer, and I do not see any independent sources that mention it. So, even though I believe that the House is named for Sullivan, I don't think the information is noteworthy, in an encyclopedic sense, with respect to Sullivan, although it is of more interest in the school's article. If you disagree, please open a discussion about the matter on the talk page: Talk:Arthur Sullivan. Thanks! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 22:40, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Woodford Lodge High School - Aerial View & Site Outline.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:
{{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.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. – Train2104 ( t • c) 23:25, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of
your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to
Template talk:Infobox school, did not appear constructive and has been
reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our
policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our
welcome page which also provides further information about
contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use
the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Steven, I reverted your last edit on the above page. You made an edit request there yesterday and were instructed to establish consensus prior to making an edit request. Yet you made another edit request. Some points:
Thank you for uploading File:The Winsford Academy New Build - CGI Elevated Rear Corner View (8 December 2011).png. 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 seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Also:
ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot ( talk) 03:00, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
I have checked the referencing of two of you alumni. You have to be careful on this one- your last footballer still needs a reference, as the school is not mentioned in a referenced section of his article- or indeed at all. The MP you quote, does not stand, it does have a back link to the school in his early life section, but as this section is not referenced you śhould just as a {{ cn}} tag to that article.
I would concentrate on removing extraneous material before you add more. I have had a look at Curriculum section, and checked what I could find on the website to explain what they do. They do need to maintain it! Have a look at Abraham Moss Community School to see one way of adding Curriculum Statement, Keystage 3, Keystage 4, Sixthform. (No I am not happy with that) or look at Fortismere School#Curriculum which achieves the task of explaining the nuances of the curriculum for a reader who has never visited the UK, and in sufficient depth for a potential parent.
When you have a moment could you add a few words about yourself on your user page- so we know who we are talking to, and which Wikimeetup to invite you to. -- ClemRutter ( talk) 21:26, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Seeing that you are working on the {{
Infobox school}} templates, I want to point to this
WP:ENGVAR solution: inside the template, one can use {{
engvar}} to enter two or more regional spellings, then an article editor can add |engvar=en-UK
and all variants are switched to the UK spelling. (See its documentation). Example: {{
Infobox drug}} has licenCe/licenSe. HTH. -

Thank you for the mgs. I will look after for such error while creating article further. But it is important to note that it was not a copy paste article at all. I have made it after going through proper references and my creation is more informative than earlier one. Unfortunately I was total unawer that someone created it already. :) Thanx again. keep helping Pinakpani ( talk) 06:11, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Dear, @ Steven (Editor): Just saw that you have made a link that page with Srilanka related article! I dont know how this person is related with it, Can you explain?

This issue isn't worth wasting more time, but don't you find it absurd that an entire article has no citations at all, and the single fact which has citation is an alumni, and that this fact has not one but two citations, one of which is not only redundant in the sense that it does not verify anything which isn't already verified by the other citation, it is also less reliable and not independent? Why do we need this second citation? Anyway, like I said, not worth my time. Have fun. -- Muhandes ( talk) 12:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
[w]hen alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced. I will remove the second reference. -- Muhandes ( talk) 10:58, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
When alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced, as long as it is done in the biographical articles.I have already added references within his article confirming his attendance so I've removed the other reference. Steven (Editor) ( talk) 16:42, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Individual alumni need a citation to a) verify that they did indeed attend the school, and b) verify the statement of their notability. Only the next sentence is
When alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced. You don't need a citation for purpose of notability since it is referenced in their article, you do need one for verifying that they did indeed attend the school, no matter how well this is referenced in their article.-- Muhandes ( talk) 18:50, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello Steven (Editor). I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Yew Chung International School – Silicon Valley, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: R3 does not apply to redirects from page moves unless that page was also recently created. Thank you. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 16:33, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
This criterion does not apply to redirects created as a result of a page move, unless the moved page was also recently created.That is, it's not the page move that needs to be recent, but the actual creation of the page. If you want it to be deleted, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, but R3 doesn't apply. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 18:39, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Hello. Before creating categories such as Category:1940s establishments in Malaysia you should check that there isn't already a category under the colonial name - in this case there is, Category:1940s establishments in British Malaya. I know Wikipedia isn't altogether consistent on these things but it's always worth a check for those countries that were colonies at the time. Le Deluge ( talk) 22:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

I don't see how this revert is reasonable. According to WP:REVERT, "Reverting is appropriate mostly for vandalism or other disruptive edits". I was fixing errors and making improvements. If you desire to make further improvements to an article you are certainly free to do so. But reverting as you did here is not acceptable. MB 19:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for reminding me of the {{ OSM Location map}} template. It looks very good in the Schools infobox. I have tried adding it to NUAST and John Kyrle High School and it seems very flexible- and also works in a default sense if the coordinates are just repeated as at John Masefield High School. What do you think? I have always found the pushpin maps a waste of infobox space and this seems a viable alternative. But why call the field 'module', surely it should be something containing the word map? -- ClemRutter ( talk) 10:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello. You have
a new message at Kudpung's talk page.
10:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hello, Steven (Editor). We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about in the article
BT Group, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. These concerns apply to your editing of BT Group and related BT companies and products. Edwardx ( talk) 22:39, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Winsford Academy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amalgamation.

Thanks for uploading File:Woodford Lodge High School - Aerial View & Site Outline.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for the edit about The Winsford Academy, but I removed the information from Sullivan's article. You did not cite a WP:Reliable source for the information. See WP:V. I searched Google for a source discussing this matter but did not find one. The School's website shows that a house is called "Sullivan", but it does not explain the connection with the composer, and I do not see any independent sources that mention it. So, even though I believe that the House is named for Sullivan, I don't think the information is noteworthy, in an encyclopedic sense, with respect to Sullivan, although it is of more interest in the school's article. If you disagree, please open a discussion about the matter on the talk page: Talk:Arthur Sullivan. Thanks! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 22:40, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Woodford Lodge High School - Aerial View & Site Outline.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:
{{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.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. – Train2104 ( t • c) 23:25, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of
your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to
Template talk:Infobox school, did not appear constructive and has been
reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our
policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our
welcome page which also provides further information about
contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use
the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Steven, I reverted your last edit on the above page. You made an edit request there yesterday and were instructed to establish consensus prior to making an edit request. Yet you made another edit request. Some points:
Thank you for uploading File:The Winsford Academy New Build - CGI Elevated Rear Corner View (8 December 2011).png. 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 seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have checked the referencing of two of you alumni. You have to be careful on this one- your last footballer still needs a reference, as the school is not mentioned in a referenced section of his article- or indeed at all. The MP you quote, does not stand, it does have a back link to the school in his early life section, but as this section is not referenced you śhould just as a {{ cn}} tag to that article.
I would concentrate on removing extraneous material before you add more. I have had a look at Curriculum section, and checked what I could find on the website to explain what they do. They do need to maintain it! Have a look at Abraham Moss Community School to see one way of adding Curriculum Statement, Keystage 3, Keystage 4, Sixthform. (No I am not happy with that) or look at Fortismere School#Curriculum which achieves the task of explaining the nuances of the curriculum for a reader who has never visited the UK, and in sufficient depth for a potential parent.
When you have a moment could you add a few words about yourself on your user page- so we know who we are talking to, and which Wikimeetup to invite you to. -- ClemRutter ( talk) 21:26, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Seeing that you are working on the {{
Infobox school}} templates, I want to point to this
WP:ENGVAR solution: inside the template, one can use {{
engvar}} to enter two or more regional spellings, then an article editor can add |engvar=en-UK
and all variants are switched to the UK spelling. (See its documentation). Example: {{
Infobox drug}} has licenCe/licenSe. HTH. -

Thank you for the mgs. I will look after for such error while creating article further. But it is important to note that it was not a copy paste article at all.

This issue isn't worth wasting more time, but don't you find it absurd that an entire article has no citations at all, and the single fact which has citation is an alumni, and that this fact has not one but two citations, one of which is not only redundant in the sense that it does not verify anything which isn't already verified by the other citation, it is also less reliable and not independent? Why do we need this second citation? Anyway, like I said, not worth my time. Have fun. -- Muhandes ( talk) 12:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
[w]hen alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced. I will remove the second reference. -- Muhandes ( talk) 10:58, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
When alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced, as long as it is done in the biographical articles.I have already added references within his article confirming his attendance so I've removed the other reference. Steven (Editor) ( talk) 16:42, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Individual alumni need a citation to a) verify that they did indeed attend the school, and b) verify the statement of their notability. Only the next sentence is
When alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced. You don't need a citation for purpose of notability since it is referenced in their article, you do need one for verifying that they did indeed attend the school, no matter how well this is referenced in their article.-- Muhandes ( talk) 18:50, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello Steven (Editor). I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Yew Chung International School – Silicon Valley, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: R3 does not apply to redirects from page moves unless that page was also recently created. Thank you. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 16:33, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
This criterion does not apply to redirects created as a result of a page move, unless the moved page was also recently created.That is, it's not the page move that needs to be recent, but the actual creation of the page. If you want it to be deleted, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, but R3 doesn't apply. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 18:39, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Hello. Before creating categories such as Category:1940s establishments in Malaysia you should check that there isn't already a category under the colonial name - in this case there is, Category:1940s establishments in British Malaya. I know Wikipedia isn't altogether consistent on these things but it's always worth a check for those countries that were colonies at the time. Le Deluge ( talk) 22:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

I don't see how this revert is reasonable. According to WP:REVERT, "Reverting is appropriate mostly for vandalism or other disruptive edits". I was fixing errors and making improvements. If you desire to make further improvements to an article you are certainly free to do so. But reverting as you did here is not acceptable. MB 19:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for reminding me of the {{ OSM Location map}} template. It looks very good in the Schools infobox. I have tried adding it to NUAST and John Kyrle High School and it seems very flexible- and also works in a default sense if the coordinates are just repeated as at John Masefield High School. What do you think? I have always found the pushpin maps a waste of infobox space and this seems a viable alternative. But why call the field 'module', surely it should be something containing the word map? -- ClemRutter ( talk) 10:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello. You have
a new message at Kudpung's talk page.
10:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
