Speedy deletion nomination of File:Last Of The Country Gentlemen.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Last Of The Country Gentlemen.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

File copyright problem with File:Last of the Country Gentlemen.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Last of the Country Gentlemen.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. MorganKevinJ^(talk) 03:38, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Last of the Country Gentlemen and its cover

For the image, take a look at our non-free image policy before uploading it again. You need to claim fair use for it not to be a copyright violation. Even if you own the copyright.

Also, you should take a look at our policy regarding conflicts of interest, since you seem to have one for this subject. Cheers. lifebaka++ 03:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Last_Of_The_Country_Gentlemen.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Last_Of_The_Country_Gentlemen.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? feydey (talk) 14:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Josh T. Pearson, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Tikiwont (talk) 16:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Duke Garwood

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Duke Garwood, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.firerecords.com/site/index.php?artistid=00000000251&page=artists.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Duke Garwood

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 Duke Garwood requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 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.

Copyright

Sorry, you may well have permission from the copyright owner to use it, but we don't. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA and GFDL for reuse anywhere by anyone (including commercial use and modifying). The text you imported is not licensed that way, and nor is it public domain (usually stuff by long dead authors or certain US Government departments). New text written here is automatically licensed by saving the edit. The owners of the copyright could license it - please see WP:COPYVIO for more details - but we would only accept this through the proper procedure which verifies that it is the copyright holder and not anyone else. Apart from which, I have concerns about your reasons for posting the article. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not social media or a directory, and it is not a profile host like reverbnation or last.fm. It is not a place fore announcing one's latest album. That is promotion - please see WP:SPAM. As you are the subject's manager, please also see WP:COI about conflict of interest - writing about subjects with which you have a very close connection. It is not something that we encourage. Peridon (talk) 10:20, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'll get Fire to do it. I'm not trying to promote my artist, just to get get info on him up, so when we announce the album, people can look him up. Sorry for any violations!

Don't forget that when it's up, anyone can edit it. It's not like Facebook where the page is yours. Peridon (talk) 13:06, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that the page that you created was tagged as a test page and has been or soon may be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

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, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the page be "userfied" or emailed to you. reddogsix (talk) 16:20, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should stop experimenting. Wikipedia is where you can write articles, not copy them. I suggest you have a look at WP:AFC--and not copy content from somewhere else, at all. Drmies (talk) 16:24, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, can you help me to create a basic wiki page for Duke Garwood? It's frustrating, Duke's sitting right next to me and we can't create a page for him. Thanks, Peter

WP:AfC. I don't know this person, I don't have a stack of newspaper and magazine articles here, so I can't do that. You can, that's the essence of Wikipedia. Go to WP:AFC please. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 16:34, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you will block me, if I start over now. Can you at least watch the info I upload and tell me if it's okay?

I have no intention of blocking you--but I will if you again upload/enter copyrighted content. You can't just copy and paste. Write your own prose, using AFC, and you'll be fine. Don't forget to add references to reliable sources (WP:RS). Drmies (talk) 16:40, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it all okay? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Garwood

That's a question you can answer yourself very easily. I suggested three times you go through WP:AFC and you didn't; I suggested you add references to reliable sources and you didn't. The next person who looks at it is, no doubt, going to propose it for deletion since it makes no assertion of importance and has nothing but a bunch of Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace links to back it up. It seems that my advice is falling on deaf ears, so good luck with it. Drmies (talk) 16:51, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I better leave it with the record label then...

Proposed deletion of Duke Garwood

The article Duke Garwood has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable musician lacking references to support notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. reddogsix (talk) 16:59, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the article has now been improved. Can I remove or you please review your "article deletion" message?

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Duke Garwood by Steve Gullick.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Duke Garwood by Steve Gullick.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:53, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Duke Garwood by Steve Gullick.jpeg)

Thanks for uploading File:Duke Garwood by Steve Gullick.jpeg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

File permission problem with File:Duke Garwood.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Duke Garwood.jpg. 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}} 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. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:33, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

March 2013

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Peter Sasala. 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
