Invitation to the Teahouse

Hello! TaraFredAnnie, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse. The Teahouse is an awesome place to meet people, ask questions and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us!

Hi TaraFredAnnie. I saw your request for help at VisualEditor/Feedback. The Teahouse link above is a great place to get help. There are a lot of knowledgeable helpers there, giving quick responses. You can ask any sort of questions about how everything works here.

I'd like to alert you to two issues though. You mentioned that you manage a recording artist, and your editing here is clearly related to that job. You need to view Wikipedia's policy on Conflict of Interest editing. You need to pay special attention to the section on Paid editing. Undisclosed paid editing is prohibited by the Wikimedia Foundation's legal terms of service. You should declare your professional relationship on your user page and on the relevant article-talk pages. The editing community is firmly dedicated to keeping our content unbiased, trustworthy, and non-promotional. Conflict of Interest editing is discouraged, but not prohibited if done carefully.

The second thing I want to mention might be a complete non-issue. Wikipedia Policy is that accounts must belong to a single individual. I noticed that your user name in part seems to match an artist you appear to represent, and it seems like it might be a mix of traditionally male and female names. If multiple people are using this account, you need to stop and create one or more individual accounts. We deal with individuals. Edits are expected to be the responsibility of one individual. If you are just one person using this account, that's fine, you can disregard this paragraph.

I saw that you asked about uploading images. We have a page about WP:Uploading images, here is a link to the English Wikipedia File Upload Wizard, and people at Teahouse will be happy to help. However you may wish to upload to Wikimedia Commons instead. Here is the link for Commons Upload Wizard. I'll explain that in a moment. You should also note that we are pay strict attention to copyright formalities. Copyright is a pain in the butt, but we're very careful to keep everything strictly legal.

Uploading images to English Wikipedia, and uploading to Wikimedia Commons are the same in an important way. If you type [[file:FILENAME|CAPTION]] or [[file:FILENAME|thumb|CAPTION]] into an article, that will find the image and include it into the article, wherever you uploaded it.

The benefit to uploading at Wikimedia Commons: The image can easily be used in any language Wikipedia, and at other Wikimedia projects, exactly the same way it can be included in articles here. The downside of uploading to commons is that they are more strict about copyright, and what they accept. Fair Use images are not permitted. Images need to be public domain, or released under a globally-acceptable copyright license. We prefer this option to encourage wider use of the image, but it's a soft preference.

The benefit of uploading to English Wikipedia: We accept public domain images, we accept images with (slightly) broader U.S. interpretation of acceptable copyright licensing, and we make some exception to permit Fair Use images.

If you're uploading something like a copyrighted album cover, that has to be uploaded to English Wikipedia as fair use.

If you're uploading a picture you took yourself, perhaps a photo of the artist you represent, you can upload that here or at Commons. That's the easy case. You would be granting copyright permission for the image to be used by us, and authorizing by others under the upload licensing terms. If you want to upload an image taken by someone else, for example a professional photographer, either THEY need to do the upload, or they need to have already released it under an acceptable license, or they need to have legally assigned the copyright to you as part of their job.

If you need help you've got the Teahouse link up top. You can also put {{helpme}} on this talk page with your question, and a random editor will respond. If you want to contact me you can post on my talk page, or you can write a message anywhere and include [[User:Alsee]] in a signed(*) message, and I'll get a notification. And of course you can do the same to contact other specific editors. In case you didn't learn it yet, the way you sign a message is to put ~~~~ at the end. The software automagically converts that to a name&date signature. Alsee (talk) 16:46, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Audrey Hepburn / reliable sources

Your addition to Audrey Hepburn has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Politrukki (talk) 12:57, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please familiarize yourself with our reliable sources guideline. For example you used ahepburn.com as a source (for now, let's forget the fact that you pretty much copy pasted content from the source right into Wikipedia article). It seems that this is a fan site, hence not a reliable source. I happened to notice that that site lists some references the authors have used here. If you wish to re-add similar content to the article, I'd suggest you take a look at the books listed as they likely are reliable sources – many of them are used as a source in our Hepburn biography – and write content using your own words. If you have any questions, please ask them here or on my talk page. Politrukki (talk) 12:57, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

June 2017

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tara McDonald, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

File:Shooting Star (Official SingleCover) by Tara McDonald.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:12, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Shooting Star (Official SingleCover) by Tara McDonald.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Shooting Star (Official SingleCover) by Tara McDonald.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:39, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I noticed this and I decided to help out. B-bot is a piece of software, it activated because the image wasn't being used in an article. I added the image to the Shooting_Star_(Tara_McDonald_song) infobox in this edit and I updated File:Shooting_Star_(Official_SingleCover)_by_Tara_McDonald.png with the required fair-use templates etc in these edits. There should no longer be any concern about the file getting deleted. You can make any appropriate changes, or contact me on my talk page if I made any sort of mistake.
