Dear Diegueins,

Are you Professor Diego Saá? Why are you putting links to those arXiv papers on so many articles? Dmharvey 02:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, No; in fact, I am his son, though. I put links to some papers my father wrote, because they are related to the topic, and I would like to put some attention of the scientific community on my fathers's work. If you read one of the papers, please tell me what you think.

Hi again... a few things:
  • It's best to reply to messages only in the place they were first posted, otherwise it can get a bit confusing to follow the conversation.
  • It's good to sign your messages with four tildes ~~~~ so people can see who wrote what.
  • Regardless of whether you want to draw attention to your father's work, this is not what Wikipedia is for. In particular, we don't generally include links to articles on the arXiv, because they are not peer-reviewed. You should read Wikipedia:Reliable sources to get some idea of what I am talking about. After you've read that, I think you should strongly consider removing all the links you have added. I suspect someone else will do it for you if you don't do it first :-) Dmharvey 03:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
  • Firstly, thanks for your suggestions; I am new to Wikipedia, so I do need them.
  • Wikipedia may not be for what I intended, but it is for letting users contribute knowledge, and improve that knowledge, and I think that helping to make people take notice of some errors in some accepted theories is to do just that.
  • You are wrong claiming that the files in the Cornell University Library (arxiv.org) are not peer reviewed. In fact, some of my father's papers have been rejected by the arxiv peer reviewers probably because of their strong implications... That is the sort of thing that happens most of the times when people develop theories that oppose what is established as a truth. Diegueins 03:51, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning the arXiv, please see my remarks at Talk:Diego Saá. Also, Wikipedia is not for "letting users contribute knowledge, and improve that knowledge"; see Wikipedia:Original research. You might also want to provide some verifiable evidence that the band Verde70 is famous across Ecuador, before someone puts a deletion notice on that one too. (For bands it usually happens really fast.) Dmharvey 12:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Verde70 poster.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Verde70 poster.jpg, which you've sourced to album cover. very likely fair use. 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 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. mabdul 21:21, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
