Speedy deletion nomination of Golden Banana Awards[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Golden Banana Awards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ttonyb (talk) 05:49, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Actually, notability is extremely important; an event such as the "Golden Banana Awards" which hasn't even happened yet is not eligible for inclusion. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:06, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kudpung, the artist's albumn is available on the UK version of Itunes which means the article complies under rule 2 "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" (talk) 03:46, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't. According to WP:BADCHARTS we can't use the iTunes charts. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 03:49, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Album is available on Amazon which if sold would contribute to the UK album chart. (talk) 04:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So now you're looking into the crystal ball. Wait until it does chart, don't tell me "but if it sells it will chart!" Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 04:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of John Blackledge[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on John Blackledge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:John Blackledge.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:John Blackledge.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:34, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Forgive me but I'm cack at doing things right on wikipedia. The photo was taken by me for the company G.K Entertainment so I want to release it for public use but still credit it that it came from G.K Entertainment. Is that possible? DrColePorter (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Was this a "work for hire" relationship? If it was then the copyright belongs to GKE, if not then it is probably yours. – ukexpat (talk) 16:21, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe a representative of the company is getting in touch with wikimedia about it. DrColePorter (talk) 17:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent - the best way is to use the process set out at WP:IOWN to e-mail the permissions team. Note though that permission for use on Wikipedia only will not be sufficient, it has to be for all purposes. – ukexpat (talk) 17:51, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That's great, thank you. If they confirm the licensing via the "permissions-en" e-mail, we'll be fine. If you have other similar images in the future, you could also just say something like "photo taken by myself on behalf of G K Entertainment", and then as a licensing tag, something like {{cc-by-sa|credit: G K Entertainment}}. Thank you for your efforts. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:57, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
