File permission problem with File:Privately tarred road in Awka-Etiti, Nigeria.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Privately tarred road in Awka-Etiti, Nigeria.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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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. Stefan2 (talk) 14:04, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Archaeology of Igbo-Ukwu

Thanks. I don't own the article, you can do whatever constructive editing you can to it and others regardless of who started it. Ukabia - talk 13:39, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I know but I think it is only respectful to contact the creator before making major changes. I will take up the article. Doing the research now. I would be grateful if you could asses for Igbo projects or review the article Awka-Etiti I created recently. Thanks.Ochiwar (talk) 13:45, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Submission

Many thanks for your review, and thanks for the approval. As it was my first article created from scratch I just wanted to go through the proper channels to make sure all the criteria were fulfilled. Now that I have a better idea of what's involved I'll probably not request submission for future articles, as per your suggestion. Thanks again. Jodon | Talk 13:49, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Odlo page

Hello there, thanks for taking the time to check my proposed submission for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/odlo I am having issues finding more links than the Bloomberg one. First of all I am in no way affiliated to this company, but it is a leader in most of Europe. It represents the same importance as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_armour or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helly_Hansen (this last one has no proper references by the way). So how can I get this page moving? Thanks Nmacpherson (talk) 10:29, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article seems to be written from a neutral point of view but finding reliable links to establish notability is a problem with Odlo. While the article Helly Hansen is not properly referenced, a quick Google search does provide indication of the company notability. Third party reports such as from Reuters here and here as well as their use in media covered expeditions and their sponsorship of yacht regatta are some examples that indicate sufficient coverage. I also tried to save the article by searching for suitable coverage for Odlo but could only find fleeting references. However a further search has shown that the article Odlo already exists on the German wikipedia. This reference there in German language does indicate notability to me but it is an only. Also mentioned in the German article is the claim to a red dot award for product design which is unreferenced and liable to be challenged. If reliable reference to the red dot award for Odlo could be found that would convince me, but I cant find it on the red dot web site.Ochiwar (talk) 18:42, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Different article

You reviewed and declined an article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Battle of the Strait of Gibraltar (1590). If you check the dates they are completely different despite being in the same area. This took place a year before this Battle of the Strait of Gibraltar of which you mistook for being the same. Thank you. ChrisWet (talk) 10:05, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my review has been undone. Please note that the link to Benedict Barnhamin your article links to a sheriff of London and not a ship captain or sailorOchiwar (talk) 10:47, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and thank you. I am pretty sure it is the same man, the link indicates an 'Alderman Barnham 'of which he was. [1] ChrisWet (talk) 11:32, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bangla Rock of India

Hi, I believe your rationale for declining Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bangla Rock of India was mistaken. The article Bangladeshi rock has been changed from a language-based article (covering West Bengal in India, as well as Bangladesh) to a national page that is exclusively about rock within the country of Bangladesh. See the March 2013 discussions at Talk:Bangladeshi rock.

I am not sure whether the topic will sustain a separate page, as it might be better to expand Music of Bengal and Music of West Bengal instead. However, you might like to record a different reason for declining the AfC. – Fayenatic London 20:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have changed the reason for AfC decline and proposed a merger to Music of BengalOchiwar (talk) 21:18, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation: Autism and Memory

Hey Ochiwar, I know a few weeks ago you declined our submission for an article to be created entitled, "Autism and Memory." You suggested we merge our article onto either the "Autism" page or the "Memory" page. Originally we had tried to merge our article onto the Autism page, but they recommended we create our own because they didn't want it to be on the Autism page. Following your suggestion, we reached out to the "Memory" page and asked if we might merge our article onto their page. They replied with the same response as the Autism page, suggesting that it would be better for us to create our own page. So--we are kind of in a rock and a hard place. Any suggestions? Also, it should be noted that this is a class project for our Cognitive Psychology class at Davidson College. Thanks, --Haschorr (talk) 01:12, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your message. I see though that your problem has been solved already, so all is well that ends well. Cheers.Ochiwar (talk) 06:48, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Ochiwar, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Perhaps you would consider joining WikiProject Medicine (sign up here or say hello here).


Thank you for you comment at "Talk:Airway management". A technical point: CPAP should not normally be regarded as a means of ventilation; it is not used to provide ventilation. Rather, it is used in acute pulmonary oedema to facilitate removal of exudate and improve oxygenation, and in obstructive sleep apnoea to maintain a patent airway.

Best wishes. Axl ¤ [Talk] 10:12, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome! And yes I know what you mean. I am having a bit of problems with English medical terminology since I practice in German. "Ventilation" in this case was a verbatim interpretation of the German "Beatmung", but I understand that its use is technically incorrect in this context. Joined WP:MED already, thanks :) Ochiwar (talk) 11:14, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. :-) Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:59, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding SIRE Group

The references for the page SIRE Group has been provided and still you tagged it in speedy deletion. I had contest the tag also, but the article got removed without being checked. If you are not checking the contest, then why should we contest. The article is now deleted, even though the proof images, reference links were provided. Hope to have your reply.

Anna Ayala

Hi Ochiwar. I removed the speedy deletion tag from Anna Ayala. Even though large portions of the article were copied from another web site, the web site allows for reuse of its material under a GNU license, compatible with our own. - MrX 18:47, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gwenaëlle Gobé

Hi Ochiwar,

I saw your request for someone to review the Gwenaëlle Gobé article, and so I took a stab at some edits. Basically the article looked pretty good - edits were often cosmetic or wikipedia formatting items rather than copy edit:

  • The citations were barelinks, which can be resolved in the future by using the Reflinks tool link, clicking on "Interactive" and then click "Run Reflinks" (no changes are needed to the default settings). The Interactive option produces the best results and is amazing!
It fills in information for most links to direct web pages (i.e., doesn't format pdf files, etc.)
  • There were a number of places where there were acronyms, such as MFA, MoMA, UPenn. It's best to spell it out the acronyms - this is especially helpful for people that may not be familiar with the geographic area and industry acronyms that are very familiar to you.
  • I added citation needed tags where needed. Since this is an article about a living person, and bears the most stringent guidelines for notability, verifiability of information and concerns about original research -- if there are not reliable sources for information that you may know but it's not published, it's better to remove the information entirely.
Uncited information in an article can be a red flag for editors who may question notability and/or if the article author is too close to the subject.
  • Title of films and works should be italicized.
  • It's best to use objective language. I removed "like never before" and "the infamous"
  • It's good to add wikilinks to other articles, especially for organizations or people named in the article, like Henry Chalfant, Lee Quiñones, and Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw.

What appears to need to be done:

  • Complete names of the graffiti artists where possible, rather than just their nicknames. For instance, it appeared that Chuck Ellis is "Daze".
  • It's good to check that the content is not a copy-paste or close paraphrasing of the content. I didn't check extensively for that, but didn't find anything in a few spot checks.
  • Find sources where there are "citation needed" tags. If you cannot find reliable, published sources, the information should be removed.
THIS SPACE AVAILABLE

Billboards and commercial messages dominate the public space like never before. Are the efforts to reverse this trend signaling a movement? From 240 hours of film, 160 interviews, and visits to 11 countries on five continents, This Space Available charts a fascinating variety of struggles against unchecked advertising and suggests that more than aesthetics is at stake. But the filmmaker also recognizes the history and politics behind this fight. Turning to such legislation as the Highway Beautification Act of 1965, Gobe shows how the enforcement of this landmark law, designed to regulate outdoor advertising on America's roadways, has steadily eroded. And today, public space activists like Jordan Seiler faces harsh penalties for covering outdoor ads with art - while officials turn a blind eye to illegally erected billboards. Still, the film strikes a hopeful tone.

Hi Ochiwar, thanks for your message. I have now reworked some language and references in the page. Please kindly let me know if it still looks promotional.

I hit the un-review button by mistake, my apologies. And yes I did see that references to the article exist, that is why I did not propose a delete or the like. I felt the author could add the references him/herself, as apparently did you. Ochiwar (talk) 15:49, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
