December 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page University of Newcastle, Australia has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/TheUniversityofNewcastleAustralia/ (matching the regex rule \bfacebook\.com).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:28, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in University of Newcastle, Australia, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to University of Newcastle, Australia, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. LibStar (talk) 13:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing only on 1 topic[edit]

Do you intend to only edit one topic? To gain a better understanding of how Wikipedia works it is strongly recommended to edit a variety of topics. LibStar (talk) 11:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you read this about single purpose editing WP:SPA. LibStar (talk) 14:10, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. LibStar (talk) 13:38, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:University of Newcastle Logo.png[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:University of Newcastle Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Zoo Fari 02:54, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

University of Newcastle[edit]

Regarding this edit that you made to User talk:Bev the great, while use in day-to-day branding is being reduced, this has absolutely no relevance to the Coat of Arms. The Grant of Arms is still in effect and therefore the University's Coat of Arms is still a valid, and the official heraldic logo of the university until such time as the Grant of Arms is withdrawn.

Regarding the final statement in your post, "Please refrain from making edits to topics you do not know anything about", you should note that this breaches Wikipedia's policy on civility. --AussieLegend (talk) 11:22, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above, {{Infobox university}} states that "|image_name=" should be "preferably the university's official seal or logo", while "|logo=" should be "an athletics logo, corporate emblem, or similar image". This means that, technically, the two images in the infobox should be reversed, with the COA at the top and the corporate logo at the bottom. --AussieLegend (talk) 11:33, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
