File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Rombo.JPG[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Rombo.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, 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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 15:18, 28 March 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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:18, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for the information, but please check the image page again. We will need (a) a clarification of precisely what license the owners wish to release it under, and (b) some form of evidence they actually did so. Thank you, – Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JohnCD

I just noticed that my wiki writeup for Famars gun company was removed for seeming like an advertising article. My apologies. I it rewritten to eliminate any appeal of advertising can I repost it? eventually i want to submit the article for its own page but was writing it on my userpage as I do it in increments.

Yes, you can, wait for more advice later today. JohnCD (talk) 17:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for the help. :) Ri401 (talk) 22:02, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

... here it comes;

Your article[edit]

I have "userfied" it for you - put it into a "user sub-page" at User:Ri401/Famars where you can work on it. Wikipedia is rather complicated and we don't like to make people read a lot before they start, so we have to spend time explaining after. "User pages" like User:Ri401 are intended for the users, the volunteers who are here to help build the encyclopedia, to say a little about themselves, if they wish, to help communication within the project. They are not intended for any substantial content unrelated to Wikipedia. We get very suspicious of what look like articles on user pages, because many people try to put advertisements there, either because they think that is what user pages are for, or because they hope to evade the scrutiny that new articles get.

User sub-pages like User:Ri401/Famars are different, and it is quite OK to use them for developing articles, though advertisements, attack pages and copyright violations will still be deleted even in sub-pages.

Advice for developing your article:

Read WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles
I have not checked whether the text is copied from the company's website or anywhere else: if so, it is essential to get a copyright release as described at WP:DCM - just saying it is OK to reproduce is not enough - and it is almost always better to rewrite, because...
It is essential to avoid any hint of promotional tone. Wikipedia is very vulnerable to being used for advertising and promotion, and is extremely resistant to anything that looks like that. Wikipedia requires a WP:Neutral point of view, and the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy requires that "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source", so before using "peacock terms" like "integrity of craftsmanship and overall beauty of design", imagine a hostile critic saying "can you prove that? Where is the reliable source that says so?"
You need to establish notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases.

You may find User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard useful.
