Speedy deletion nomination of Max retik
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Max retik 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 or group of people, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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 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. 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. Pichpich (talk) 02:07, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Please do not write an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Please excuse my rudeness
[edit]Ok, the good news. You do good work, and I was tempted to subscribe. However, unless you actually become a Wikipedia editor, young or old, you can't put a personal webpage on Wikipedia. Actually, you can't put a personal webpage on Wikipedia even if you are a good editor.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Maxretik
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 User:Maxretik, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. The Interior (Talk) 22:03, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Contested deletion
[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I am an important member of the infrastructure of the USY international online services board, as well as award-winning filmmaker of various merits and youtube personality and I haven't finished writing it yet, so apologies that it does not yet look encyclopedic enough yet. ) --Max Retik (talk) 22:09, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- You clearly haven't read, or comprehended, the notices on this talk page above. See the notice below. Wikipedia is not a publicity channel. This is an encyclopedia. I will remove the promotional stuff from your user page. If you put it back, the page will be deleted and locked. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:18, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. I have read; I simply want to create the page without the intention to promote or glamorize myself. I just want the information, strictly objective facts. I will not re-add my website, as I was unaware that that was promotion and not factual. I do not make money off of the website either, it is just a helpful resource to people looking me up. Thanks again for the help, Max Retik (talk) 22:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)96.242.50.9 (talk) 22:27, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- Apologies for the harsh tone of my previous reply. Let me expand a bit.
- It is normal for Wikipedia editors to write a few words about themselves on their user pages (see the user pages of me or any other long-term regular contributor), but generally the content of one's user page is expected to be relevant or of interest to the Wikipedia project.
- Your user page isn't a personal web site or portal. Mainly it's for describing yourself and your interests in the context of being a Wikipedia editor.
- For example, since you are a photographer, you may decide to contribute images to Wikipedia. So your user page could describe your interest in photography, awards and so on, and link to the photos you have uploaded to Wikipedia or to Wikimedia Commons.
- If you do plan to upload any of your photos, the preferred place is Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org) instead of Wikipedia. Images on Commons are available to Wikis in all other languages, images here are available only on the English Wikipedia.
- The main restriction on Commons is that the photos must be yours and public domain. If you take pictures of commercial products (see my picture File:CupNoodle.jpg for example), you can't upload it to Commons but you can upload it to Wikipedia with the proper licensing information.
- There are a whole bunch of articles with open requests for photos. See Category:Wikipedia requested photographs to get you started. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:48, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Do not write about yourself
[edit] Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:18, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Max Retik filming at sunrise.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Max Retik filming at sunrise.jpg, which you've attributed to Julia Donheiser. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release 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. Dianna (talk) 02:01, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
