File source problem with File:The_Fabulous_Wonder_Twin_Babies.gif[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:The_Fabulous_Wonder_Twin_Babies.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

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.

Fabulous Wonder Twins[edit]

hiya :-) ... no problem, i mainly just standardized some of the stuff more to Wikipedia style. You have done a really good job fleshing it out as fast as you have. I have noticed a problem with the pictures, though... You are uploading them all as public domain/self-created, but unless you actually own the copyright to them, they will end up being deleted. If the photos were not taken/owned by you, familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Non-free content to see if you can claim "fair use" justification to use them in the article. If you think they qualify for fair use, you can find code at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline to copy/paste onto the image's file page explaining the justification for using it on the Twins article. This is a common mistake for new editors to make, I am just giving you a heads up -- before your talk page gets plastered with warning notices ;-) Anyhow, welcome to Wikipedia & feel free to check out the LGBT studies WikiProject at WP:LGBT (WikiProjects are informal groups of editors interested in various topics). The Twins article has already been tagged as within the interest of the LGBT WikiProject, and will show up in various bot reports for the LGBT project. Happy editing, Wikignome0530 (talk) 04:10, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Before worrying about which templates to copy/paste, we need to determine that you actually own the copyrights. Having possession of copies of the photos and owning the copyrights are 2 different things... unless you are somehow connected to the Twins, or are one of the Twins, almost anyone on here would doubt you actually own the copyrights to all of those images. So there are 2 scenarios: (1) you own copies of the photos, and scanned them in, but don't actually own the copyright (so you can't give Wikipedia legal permission to use them), or (2) you are one of the Twins, and that opens up a whole other can of worms... (in that subjects of biographical articles are not supposed to edit their own articles) :-D

I really am not trying to give you a hard time, but the Wikipedia community in general takes copyright seriously, and someone will sooner or later challenge/delete the photos unless their ownership is cleared up (or if you don't own them, if you can claim "fair use" under copyright law to use them in the article.) :-) Wikignome0530 (talk) 05:25, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again -- I am not an expert on the legalities involved, but to answer your question: the first step I would take would be to provide as much source information as possible on the file page for each file. I placed information templates on each file page to make this easier to fill in (just go to each file's page and click edit to edit the various information). Once this is done, then if Wikipedia requires you to go through further steps, at least you have made the good faith efforts so far to show that you have the right to upload the files -- and it will be easier for others to help you make the further steps needed (such as getting formal permission from the photos' legal copyright owners).

You can find a list of all files you uploaded to English Wikipedia here, and also you uploaded 1 file to Wikimedia Commons (Commons:File:The Fabulous Wonder Twins & Robin Williams on The Birdcage.gif). Images you upload to English Wikipedia can only be used on English Wikipedia, but images uploaded to Commons can be used on all of the different language versions of Wikipedia, in case you were wondering the difference.

That is the most I can offer. For further advice I would suggest going to Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, where they are more knowledgeable about this topic. Good luck :-) Wikignome0530 (talk) 06:56, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous user edits to Twins article[edit]

I reverted the series of edits by the anonymous user, since they included allegations about a living person (the mother of the twins), which would fall under Wikipedia's WP:BLP (Biographies of Living Persons) guidelines. The edits' main focus seemed to be removing mention of the father's name and making him an anonymous married man, so I believe the goal was more at protecting the father's reputation than disparaging the mother. Basically, I would suspect that someone connected to the Twins or their families (or the family of the deceased father) was doing the edits. Wikipedia articles can be protected in cases of repeated abuse, but this particular case would fall more under a content dispute. The best solution may just be to remove the references to the father's name (if the edits made by the anonymous user were true), while still leaving it neutral enough where it isn't disparaging the mother. This is how Wikipedia works, different people collaborating together (some of them anonymous) to produce an article that is ideally a collaborative work of various people (with reliable sources backing up information that might be controversial/challenged), and it is one of the double-edged swords of having a biography article about someone. You can add flattering info, but someone else can also add unflattering info. If the anonymous user repeatedly adds disparaging info about the mother without reliable sources backing it up, other editors/administrators can step in, but for now I would recommend trying to find a middle ground (some form of wording in the article that is acceptable to both parties). You started the article, but it belongs to the world now... for better or worse :-/ :-) Wikignome0530 (talk) 13:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The anonymous editor returned, but I didn't revert their edits... some compromise needs to be found to avoid an edit war, since neither side is providing reliable sources to back up their version. Not that I doubt your version of events, but to avoid cleanup tags being added to the article in the future, you're going to need to provide more citations where possible (mainly on items that are likely to be challenged or need 3rd party references backing it up). Your personal interviews with the twins, while informative, would probably not be usable as a referenced source for the article. I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (shortcut WP:RS) and Wikipedia:No original research (WP:OR) to start getting an idea of what kinds of sources are usable. To add a footnote reference anywhere in the text, simply add <ref>the web address of the reference, or the book name or news article,etc.</ref> right after the text/fact you are backing up, and it will show up as a reference in the footnotes list. (you can see some examples in the first half of the article now, where I moved them into in-line footnotes). External links within the article text (such as the link to the Classmates.com photo) are frowned upon within articles, and are likely to eventually be removed by another editor. External links ideally are in their own place down at the end of the article, in an "External links" section. I also did some minor cleanup to part of the article (mainly toning down some of the language that might get the article flagged with cleanup tags for sounding like a fan site or promotional). The main thing I would suggest is getting familiar with the WP:RS and WP:OR policies mentioned above though, since they are standards for Wikipedia articles, and if you want information to stay in the article long term, they will help that.

Proposed deletion of Stacey Hollywood[edit]

The article Stacey Hollywood has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
