Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:51, 18 February 2012

This needs some input from people who were around in the 1970's and remember the practical problems of implementing the new Act after 1973. Also interested in hearing from anyone who can give an account of the early days of enforcement in the 70's.

Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Hectorthebat". The reason given for Hectorthebat's block is: "Repeating behaviour that led to previous block".

• Blocking administrator: PeterSymonds (talk • blocks)

Decline reason: The block on the IP has apparently been lifted because of "odd stuff going on" (I know NOTHING. Seriously). If you still can't edit, what message are you getting when you try? — Daniel Case (talk) 15:16, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Accept reason: Try now, cleared the autoblock. Alexandria (talk) 16:57, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

The autoblock has been applied appearently because someone within a large network has acted inappropriately but the network in question has about 20,000 people on it. There must be a lot of people blocked. I have nothing against my history. Agent1135

Re: UK Immigration Service

You can go ahead and remove the tags yourself if you like - no need to ask permission! Excellent work you've done on the article, thank you very much. It could do with a little bit of tidying up, so I'll re-tag it for that, but otherwise - thank you! ninety:one (reply on my talk) 19:41, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks so much. It is still work in progress having only got as far as 1973! Agent1135 (talk) 19:47, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Well done for all the expansion you've made. When it comes to adding links you can save yourself a lot of typing. I suspect you're copying (part of) the url to create the link which includes the underscores so then you're adding the pipe and the text without underscores. Instead copy the article name from the top of the page and bingo link in one. NtheP (talk) 17:04, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:UK Immigration Service warrant badge.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:UK Immigration Service warrant badge.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:38, 4 December 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 06:38, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Sir William Haldane-Porter‎

I noticed you added the references: "Porter family archive - unpublished". Can you explain that to me? I'm a bit confused as to what you are saying. The reference is from papers no one has read? Dennis Brown (talk) 00:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

It is research taken from face to face contact with Porter's surviving grand-daughter. Not sure how to otherwise describe it.
