Hi, thanks for your message. Let me explain some things about the way we work at Wikipedia.

All articles must satisfy criteria for notability. Essentially something must be well-known enough before it deserves an article. Amateur sport teams do not qualify, unless they have achieved something outstanding (such as winning a nationwide amateur championship). It is also forbidden to write about organisations you are associated with. This is due to conflict of interest. Also articles must not be in any way promotional.

It is also forbidden to have a username that appears to promote any organization. Your username would seem to qualify, and I suggest changing it if you wish to keep editing.

Based on those, articles about this team will always be deleted. If you have extra information, such as an outstanding achievement, then I suggest mentioning it here. Thank you. DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. The article on the other team in a similar position has also been deleted, for a similar reason. If you want to reply to this you can do so by editing this page. I will see it. DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DJ i see no point in proceeding any further with trying to convince you about something that only locals here in inishowen will be looking at the page anyway. If anything was wrong with that information they could edit as they see fit. You will be glad to hear that i will remove this profile as i am extremely dissapointed how impossible it is to post something on wiki.

No problem. I'm sorry you misunderstood the purpose of Wikipedia. I hope you find somewhere else to post your information. Good luck. DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Inishowen football league team badges.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:30, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
