Hello Jim,
I work with Erin Mckeown and I am wondering if you can change the picture on her wiki page for me. I have not done enough edits on wiki myself so it appears as if I can not make these changes myself. Here is a link to the image we'd like to use.

- Desdemona - I'd love to help. Unfortunately, it's best if you upload the photo since I assume you own it. Wikipedia is very particular about the rights to digital images - and it's always best if the owner of the image uploads it and gives permission for it to be used.
- You can click here and try uploading the image yourself OR, if you prefer, you can call me and I'll lead you through the (short) process on the phone. Once you've actually uploaded the image and I know what it's called, it's easy for me to put it on Erin's page. I can be reached at (nine-oh-seven) seven three three - two four five two (Alaska time which is 4 hours behind Eastern). Great photo by the way! Jimkloss (talk) 05:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jim,
It is my photo, my problem is that, when I click on uploading a photo it tells me I am unauthorized because I have not made 10 edits on wikipedia. I don't really have any edits to make on the site other than the photo edit. Do you know if there is someone else I can contact who could put the photo up? Thank you so much for your response.

- Okay Desdemona. I'm trying to upload it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Erin_mckeown_2008.jpg but it's not displaying at this instant. I'll see if it shows up in a hour or so and if it does, then all is well. If it does not, then I can only assume that Wikipedia will not allow the image for some reason. I'll try to figure it out, but, unfortunately, Wikipedia is becoming more and more of a closed system. Fortunately, WWR is easier to navigate and less restrictive so I added your photo to Erin's page there: http://wholewheatradio.org/wiki/index.php/Artists:Erin_McKeown
Desdemona - the following notice came in on the image (which is now displaying). I put your name and website in the description as the owner and that you are okay licensing the photo with a Creative Commons license. So, at this point, the image is there and I (hope) the problem with permission to use as given by you is cleared up. If you'd like to add anything about giving permission, please do so by clicking here and just adding some words that you've given permission.
If the image is still there in 48 hours, then feel free to just link it on Erin's page. If you need help with that, let me know. Good luck ... and thanks for your perseverance! jimkloss (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Erin mckeown 2008.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:24, 18 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 21:24, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Danny Schmidt do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
External Links / Whole Wheat Radio
Concerning User:CalendarWatcher's removal of Whole Wheat Radio link and establishing Danny Schmidt's notablity - previous discussion includes:
- Whole Wheat Radio - Notability established
- Initial explanation concerning Whole Wheat Radio as spam
- Further explanation and reaction
- Further discussion, request for clarification
- Danny Schmidt has performed several times at Whole Wheat Radio, where audio is freely available. Anyone searching to learn more about Danny Schmidt will find his association with Whole Wheat Radio to be both apropos professionally and personally.
Concerning Danny Schmidt's notablity:
- Kerrville Folk Festival 2007 winner - please refer to each linked artist on that page. Those knowledgeable with the singer-songwriter profession will clearly identify Danny Schmidt as having achieved the same level of professional musicianship as any of the other notable entries.
- Waterbug Records - the same is true when comparing artists from Waterbug Records in terms of notability. In fact, Danny has recently been signed to Red House Records, a recognized national label. Only artists who have achieved a level of professional recognition are on Red House.
- It is, in fact, quite remarkable that anyone familiar with the independent singer-songwriter arena today would question Danny Schmidt's notability. With quotes from such notables as Rich Warren, WUMB, XM-Radio's Mary Sue Twohy and many others on that list, Danny has more bona-fide external source notability than several of the other artists on the two lists above.
Although I would happily remove some of the superlative "ad-like" wording of this article that I created, I am no longer comfortable editing singer-songwriter pages on Wikipedia because it is apparently assumed I have a COI even though I personally stand to gain nothing by enhancing the Wikipedia knowledge base of acoustic singer-songwriters and by providing a link to an external site that is completely non-commercial. The default assumption no longer seems to be "good faith" nor am I seeing a significant effort to research or communicate before claiming spam/COI. I am not interested in edit wars, notability wars --wars of any kind-- or defending against "assumption of non-good faith/spam/commercial/COI" attacks.
If others wish to remove this notable artist from Wikipedia and/or remove any/all links to an equally notable wiki-based non-commercial grassroots driven webcast called Whole Wheat Radio so be it. Whole Wheat Radio will continue to provide a source of non-commercial, grassroots, volunteer maintained, 100% free, wiki-based audio, video, encyclopedic and non-encyclopedic reference materials related to independent musicians and music.
