Arabs frae Dundee

Hi DDuck, how r u doing? Hope you don't mind but I added some stuff to the Dundee United FC article. There was actually already a Dundee United article but I have merged them at your article which is the better name for such a topic.

Hope you enjoy adding to Wikipedia!

PS Are you an Arab yersel? Big Jim Fae Scotland

I'm beginning to get the hang of this thing. I'm amazed how sometimes I finish working on something and just minutes later someone is adding bits, moving pages, and wikifying away. To answer your question, I no football fan, but everything to do with my home town, Dundee, holds some significance for me. :) - Iain

Bonnie Dundee

Hi again Iain, how r u? Just to let you know you will have loads of punters on at you moaning about yer Bonnie Dundee article cos it is out of context. I think you should add a bit about it before reproducing the text. Just a suggestion mate. :o) Big Jim

Hi Big man, I'm fine. I've added a short introduction, with links to all over. That should keep a'body happy. Dduck 20:40, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Well it wasn't technically a copyright violation, but it was borderline plagiarism. I rewrote the material and added a reference to each article so that it can no longer be considered to be plagiarism. Dduck, please be more careful in the future. :) --mav 03:39, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Tayrailbridge.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Tayrailbridge.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. 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 per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.
