Would like to submit page for publication. Uploaded photo of Paige Braddock to Image Wizard.

You seem to have issues with the image. Don't concentrate on the image until after the page is published.

I'd suggest:

File permission problem with File:Paige Braddock, San Francisco, 2010.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Paige Braddock, San Francisco, 2010.jpg. 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 are the copyright holder for 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. Eeekster (talk) 20:22, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help request[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Would like to resubmit the page for consideration. Would also like to check in on the status of the uploaded photo of Paige Braddock. --Pb9 (talk) 15:03, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your talk page is not a good place to have a copy of your article, because it will get in the way of the messages for you which are the purpose of the page. There is a copy at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Paige Braddock and that is the one you should work on. At a quick look it is in much the same state as the one on this page, so I have blanked the one from this page, in order to leave it free for conversations between you and other users. The version here is not lost: you can see it at any time by clicking on this link. If you have any problem with that, leave a message on my talk page.

The version at Articles for Creation was declined because when first submitted there was nothing in it. Now that you have added content, when you are ready, the way to resubmit it is to click the link "Resubmit" in the bottom left corner of the box at the top of the page.

With regard to the image, you have to provide evidence that the actual copyright holder (normally, the person who took the photograph) agrees to its release. See the notice above headed "File permission problem" for how to do that.

It is easier to keep track of the conversation here if you add new entries at the bottom of this talk page (I have moved this down), and if you put the four-tilde "signature" at the end of your message. JohnCD (talk) 18:21, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I see that user DragonflySixtyseven (talk) has moved the article into the main encyclopedia at Paige Braddock with edit summary "It's ready", so you can do any further development there. Congratulations, JohnCD (talk) 21:21, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 6[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jane's World, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Terry Moore (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:40, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Pb9, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Jane's World have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:54, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More about Jane's World[edit]

Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about topics to which you are closely related is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:36, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help! I appreciate it. Pb9 (talk) 16:42, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
