File source and copyright licensing problem with File:JudyPrescott.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:JudyPrescott.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:31, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Given the claims made regardin this photo - you will need to have the owner of the photo follow the instructions at WP:OTRS so that the copyright information can be verified. Without that verification by the copyright holder the image can't be restored. Skier Dude (talk) 00:32, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS seems to work in spurts, they do get backlogged, but they do get cleared up... I've found that patience is the best virtue for dealing with that system!! Sorry, I can't offer more, but I do not have any access to their processes. Skier Dude (talk) 03:06, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Judy Prescott. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (August 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dodger67 was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

There are not enough references. Basically every substantive claim needs a source.

The "Early life" section has no references at all. How do you know when and where she was born, what college she attended etc? Similarly the "Career" section has only one reference.

In an article about a living person, if you can't source a potentially controversial claim, it's better to delete it than leave it unsourced.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Njnorland/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Eve Marie Shahoian (August 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I would not resubmit as all of this suggests it's too soon.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jones Hope Wooten

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 Jones Hope Wooten requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.joneshopewooten.com/about.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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. jcc (tea and biscuits) 22:56, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Njnorland. You have new messages at Njnorland's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Hello Jcc, I hope I am replying to you in the correct manner. I have not replied to Talkback much in the past. I am the editor of the JOnes Hope Wooten page. The information on the page might be similar to the About page on their website, but I don't think it was identical to that page. Since you have deleted it, I cannot compare the two pages side by side. Is there any change you can undelete the page so we can make the edits necessary to make them less similar? We did go through a photo confirmation process earlier this summer where JHW sent their permission for the photo to be used on the Wikipedia page and giving it public access. If you want something like that for the Wikipedia content, I'm sure they would be happy to do that, too. Thank you. Njnorland (talk) 18:09, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they would need to release it under a free license like the photo- see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for a guide, but essentially whoever wrote the about page would need to fill in Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries and email it from an address associated with the original publication (e.g. a company address) to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. I can confirm a large chunk of the text dating back to when the article was created was copied verbatim from their about page, but if you want a copy of the text you should ask User:BU Rob13. For talkback to work the code should be {{talkback|NAME OF USER}}- I didn't get your message because you talkbacked yourself. Best wishes, jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:58, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Njnorland. You have new messages at Jcc's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Can the JHW page be reinstated? Or do we have to start over from scratch? Hopefully I've used the proper TB syntax this time. Njnorland (talk) 19:09, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, got terribly confused. I think for talkpage to work you're supposed to place {{Talkback|njnorland}} on my talk page-got it wrong the first time around, sorry. If you'd prefer to rewrite the page, then go to Rob's talk page and ask him to email you a copy. It cannot be reinstated in its current form in Wikipedia as it is a copyright infringement. Best wishes, jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:24, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it appears you'll have to rewrite it from scratch (or see WP:Donating copyrighted material). jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:35, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
