Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maurice Leitch, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages BFI, Michael Duffy and Chinese Whispers. 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.

Help me! I have creat an article: Silver's City (novel). I am trying to provide a link from the main article on Maurice Leitch to Silver’s City The link is rejected because it says the Silver's City (novel) page does not exist. It does. Help. Thanks

Hello, I believe I've fixed the link. The problem was in the different quotation mark styles: the fancy and curly <’> vs the simple <'>. Wikipedia usually uses the simpler quotation marks. – Þjarkur (talk) 16:31, 9 May 2019 (UTC) reply

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article William Ingram (writer/actor) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Ingram (writer/actor) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sheldybett ( talk) 12:42, 8 July 2019 (UTC) reply

ave recently been registered blind, and I have been trying to put up a page on William Ingram )writer/actor) . There have been doubts about his crecentials, although he has made hundreds of appearances, particualrly in radio, and written many plays, adatptions and short stories for radi. He died in 2013 at the age of 83, most of his work done in previous deaceds. His conemporaries have also begun to die, and his Welsh obit is not on line and is a problem. However, his work is substantia,

Ned Chaillet 21:50, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm not quite sure what kind of help you are looking for. The deletion discussion currently tends to swing in the direction of keeping the page. Wikipedia accepts print sources; if the Welsh obituary was written and published by a newspaper (as opposed to something his family put up after his death), you can cite it by providing enough bibliographical information to allow others to look up that newspaper in a library archive: Title, exact publication date, name of the newspaper, page number, ... If you need further help, please explain what, exactly, you are looking for. Huon ( talk) 22:12, 8 July 2019 (UTC) reply

Plot descriptions cannot be copied from other sources, including official sources and IMDb, unless these can be verified to be public domain or licensed compatibly with Wikipedia. They must be written in original language to comply with Wikipedia's copyright policy. On Juliet Ace. — Diannaa ( talk) 13:32, 14 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Being pretty blind, I am using a screen reader to respond to this deletion of plot descriptions in the Juliet Ace Article. They are generally taken from the BBC's published plot descriptions which would have been provided as freely available for all publications. Both as a former journalist who was aware of this, and as a former BBC producer who was obliged to provide plot summaries the use of these is not a copyright infringement. They best represent the programmes as intended to be described. They may need correction if they are misleading but they re usually the best summary of a programme. There are presently hundreds of such usages on Wikipedia, which I can provide. I hope that this goes on the record, as previously I have felt unable to participate in Talk because of my visual limitations. The particular deletion of the posting of the plot description of the BBC Radio 4 production of the play Moving the Goalposts was particularly apt, as it represents both the text and situation of the author. The BBC distributers programme information, known as billings to the press and intended for free use. It would be good to restore the plot summaries or all BBC distributed publicity releases would have to be removed. I hope this makes its way online. It may take me a while to see if it does.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Maurice Leitch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Resurrectionist. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
