Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Pippa Garner

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Pippa Garner, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Template:Biography. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Simon

I wanted to extend the courtesy of explaining why I deleted your edits today to Jim Simon (artist). Essentially, they contained an extraordinary number of extremely basic Wikipedia violations. The most significant is WP:BLP, which says that any claims about a living person's personal life, including birthdate, education, etc., must be verified with a reliable-source citation. (Please see the bluelinked policies — and I would note that following policy is mandatory, whereas guidelines are subject to reversal and consensus-building.) The WP:TONE of the writing was not encyclopedic, but conversational, personal, magazine-like and not objective and disinterested, which leads me to believe there might be conflict of interest if the editor were the subject himself or a friend. Virtually no claim was verified, and, among smaller issues, we can't say things like "currently" that become immediately WP:DATED.

I would have tried to fix some of these things, but there was just too many — the article needs a rewrite involving much research for find citations for each claimed fact, and exceptionally strong citations for personal-life claims. My suggestion would be to rebuild the article a few sentences at a time; I promise I'll help with things that don't involve complete rewrites but just a fix here or there. If you have questions or need help, I'd be glad to do what I can; just contact me on my talk page. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 18:44, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Wovenbone. Absolutely. Glad to help. I'm at work right now, but I've cleaned up the citation at High School of Art and Design, and also brought it over to cite some things in the Jim Simon (artist) article. I would say let's build it up one or two cited sentences at a time to start, and go faster once you get the hang of it. I'll be back in a while today and add a couple of things to sort of serve as a model. Happy to work with a new editor, and I hope you'll stick around and do more for Wikipedia! --Tenebrae (talk) 14:03, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Wovenbone. Haven't heard from you lately. Did the edits I made to Jim Simon (artist) help give you an idea of how to do citing? I'll try to get in today to do some more, and I just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten my promise to help. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 15:43, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, again. I'll try to be back and help soon. Along with half the country, I'm in a state of shock and depression after this election. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:12, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:JimSimonArtist.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:JimSimonArtist.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --World's Lamest Critic (talk) 03:08, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
