I'm currently working on the Earnest James Ujaama page. I need time to complete all of the biographical and other content. I respectfully request that no content is added or deleted until I have completed the page in its entirety. This will hopefully be completed by the end of December 2016 or mid-January 2017. Thank you. Semaj247 (talk) 05:56, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:EJI, Montgomery AL, Ujaama.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:EJI, Montgomery AL, Ujaama.png, which you've attributed to Peggy Thompson. 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 Wikipedia's image use policy.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Semaj247. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Earnest James Ujaama, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 19:56, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
Haters and do-gooders? Which one are you?
[edit]It seems there has been much interference and harassment by those who obviously don't care about the integrity and accuracy of this subject. There have been unnecessary removals and destruction of photos and important content to show who the subject is today, and was in the past. These photos are part of the biography; pictures tell a thousand more words. They help to imagine the person as who they are along with the choice in use of facts. This author believes in the credibility and integrity of reporting. According to the rules of Wikipedia, there are only five in a nutshell. Among the ones I find as most important are neutrality and communication. Anyone is free to improve an article or page, but to destroy or render the content as incomplete or harmful to the subject is simply: plain evil. It is what haters do-- they destroy good things. To advise and offer assistance is the hallmark of a true community; it is what do-gooders do. Of course, there will always be disagreements. Those disagreements should not destroy the integrity of the subject reported on, no matter who is doing the reporting. There is no one who is more familiar than I on this subject, and a few others that I hope to have an opportunity to improve for better research. I can say this because I know what information is accessible and what is not, and what I have from both public and private sources. I also have the authorization to use it. I am not being paid by anyone to do this work. And I am not a programmer, so I feel bullied by those who obviously want to render this page incomplete and destroy the integrity or neutrality of it, but have more access and programming skills. However, I will not go away so easily, or be bullied by haters. Wikipedia has a bad reputation and can be improved. I will not go away so easily, because Wikipedia is for everyone and is used by many. However, it must be improved by do-gooders, and that is my mission to do so on the subjects or persons which I am most familiar. In the future, for those who don't like my edits, or have issues -- all you haters -- please leave your comments here and I will be happy to respond. But note this -- I will not discuss "me", personally, because there is no need to do so. I will only discuss this page and its' content, as well as the other pages that I intend to improve for the good of the entire world community. Thank you.

- Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view. Haters and do-gooders have no place here. Kleuske (talk) 21:05, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
