List of acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom

I'd appreciate your input regarding whether the above list should be at List of acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom or List of Acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom. See Talk:List of acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom#Move. Hiding T 12:03, 24 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've commented there. Really, all of our article/category titles should match; and that article should, in my opinion, reside at List of Acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom or List of acts of parliaments in the United Kingdom. My personal preference is to treat "Act of Parliament" as a compound noun, with both A and P capitalised when either the Act or the Parliament is a specific one. Thorny issue though. — mholland (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Notability of residential colleges

You previously commented at WikiProject Colleges & Universities about the notability of college/university residences and other campus buildings. A RFC has been submitted on the best way to deal with the existence of many Wikipedia articles on residence halls and dormitories at colleges and universities that may not be notable. Your input and feedback would be appreciated at the RFC. Madcoverboy (talk) 23:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Teesside University logo.png)

  Thanks for uploading File:Teesside University logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

There is an old version of the University of Gloucestershire logo on the wikipedia page. Please could you replace it with this one:

University of Salford logo on Salford Business School

The logo is indeed the University's but the School is one of the academic elements of the University and University policy clearly states that there is no sub-branding. This would suggest that the University logo is appropriately attached to the School. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.87.147.104 (talk) 12:06, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia's non-free content policy requires that use of unlicensed copyrighted media be kept to a minimum (and that its use is necessary to a proper understanding of the relevant topic). The Salford logo is appropriately used at University of Salford, but not on other articles associated with the university. A good/useful alternative for the infobox would be a photo of something associated with the school (as in Bristol Law School, University of Glasgow Medical School, University of Birmingham Medical School). — mholland (talk) 12:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Holly Smith - Local Edition

Hi Mholland.

I was wondering whether it would be possible to use your photograph of Keele University for our 'Newcastle-under-Lyme & Keele' Local Edition publication.

Local Edition is a weekly digital property publication, delivered to thousands of homemovers every week.

We currently have twenty four editions and an example of our current 'Newcastle under Lyme & Keele' edition can be found at the following link: http://rightmove.digi-page.net/?id=newcastlekeele

I found your image on a google search and thought it would be an excellant replacement for the image we are using at the moment.

For each photo we use we would provide an acknowledgement on the front cover with your name, the name of the photo and, if you wish, we could have a link to your profile page of wikipedia, or if you have another website you would like us to link to.


Many thanks for your time,

Holly,
Photographs I've uploaded for Wikipedia are available for re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike licence. You are welcome to use that photograph in accordance with that licence - please credit the photo to "M. Holland"; no link required. If you're looking for similar "free" images in the future, you may find Flickr (Flickr CC search for "Keele University") and the Wikimedia Commons (Commons homepage) are more useful than Google. Best wishes — mholland (talk) 17:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

File:Wscc logo.png

Hey, thanks for clarifying, I wasn't sure of the original reason for deleting the logo from the electoral division articles, as they pertain specifically to WSCC and thought that I'd understood the terms of the rationale and logo use rules for non-free logos, but am happy to go along with your advice, I'll check that the logo isn't used on any future articles. cheers.

naming

Please provide me with the link to the naming convention which you refer to in your The Lancaster University edit summary. This would be very informative. If you are mistaken, it still may be reasonable to not use "The". User F203 (talk) 14:34, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
