File:Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi.jpg

Hello, I noticed that you placed deletion tag on File:Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi.jpg. I want to know why? Same description has been given on this file also. See File:Title Screen of Show.jpg. Why isn't this file nominated for deletion? Mr. Smart ℒION ⋠☎️✍⋡ 05:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello! As you may know, Wikipedia has strict guidelines for use of non-free content. In order to use a copyrighted image on Wikipedia, the person who adds the image to an article is responsible for demonstrating that the file meets all 10 Non-free content criteria. Even if the image meets all the criteria, it can still be deleted if it does not demonstrate that using a Non-free use rationale. Even though boilerplate responses can be used, a NFUR can't just be copied from one file to the next. The Non-free content criteria have to be considered for each use. If you have more questions, feel free to reply or ask at the Media copyright questions page.

I hadn't seen the other file you linked, but looking at it it looks like it has multiple problems.

AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

OK, I'll try to fullfill the details in the "Summary" section of the file. Mr. Smart ℒION ⋠☎️✍⋡ 17:42, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Need Help - Images, Non-Free Template

Hi, I noticed that you recently changed the images I did to non-free game screenshot, bar one (the Top Gear one). I'm working to include a rationale for the game screenshots I uploaded, but I first want to know if I should use a Non-free use rationale, or a Non-free use rationale video game screenshot. Can you help me? If the former, I need some further help upon response. GUtt01 (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@GUtt01: For the screenshots of a video game, you should use the video game screenshot rationale. Just copy the full syntax and fill in the information. I'm working on fixing File:TopGearPolarSpecial.jpg for you, and haven't looked at the rest of the the Top Gear ones yet. I'll let you know if I can't fix them. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:07, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: is it meant to switch the template to "Non-free use rationale"? GUtt01 (talk) 20:20, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@GUtt01: You did everything correctly on File:WeHappyFewUncleJack.jpg! The template worked as intended (Yes, that one is a bit weird). In future, you should replace the Information template (In the summary section) with the NFUR (I fixed that one for you). AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: Is it okay for me to edit the information in the table (i.e. Purpose) to properly state the factors of the image? GUtt01 (talk) 20:30, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@GUtt01: Of course, a handwritten argument is always better than the boilerplate response! AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: Final question. I was using the images as "thumbs" on the wiki article they are attached to. I noticed that the image's location on the site states it will need to be resized. What size must I edit it to?GUtt01 (talk) 20:39, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@GUtt01: You don't need to worry about that, a bot will take care of any image with the Non-free reduce template on it. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:42, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: Thanks for guiding me through this. Really helped me. Could you send me a message on my talk page, just to outline what to do, if I should put in something that is Non-free under the wrong type, if possible? Would appreciate it, for future reference.

Bot Archive

Thanks very much, I've been wanting to do it for a while. But as you've stated I've wanted to pursue how to get a bot to archive, or to get permission. I want to archive all of the material going back to the beginning. Thanks much.Koplimek (talk) 17:44, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

File:Dr Walter Fricke.jpg

Hello, I got a message from you, regarding the uploading of the image above and incorrect fair use rational. As I don't speak copyright, I don't know whats wrong. I uploaded the file using the file wizard. Why did the wizard not ask me to fill these fields in, when requesting fair use? As regards WP:NFCC#1, the man is an dead academic, an astronomer and cryptanalyst, of historical importance. There is no other image available, anywhere. As regards WP:NFCC#2. How would that be satisfied? Scope creep (talk) 00:32, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

I've sent a letter to the Heidelberg University Press department to determine if what they say and whether they have a license for it. Scope creep (talk) 00:56, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

@Scope creep: As far as NFCC#1, that is exactly what you have to write. Just put that in the Replacability parameter in the template on the file page. For NFCC#2, you have to explain why the image won't interfere with anyone's commercial interests. You should explain that the photo is of a reduced size, and copies made from it would be inferior to the original. If the University comes back saying that it is licensed freely, or in the public domain, forward the email chain to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. You may also wish to consult WP:DCM. Let me know if you need further explanation/assistance!-- AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 01:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

ColFergStod

Hi There Thanks for your message, although it didn't inform me as to what buttons I should press where and when. I did make some changes, which appeared to be OK, but now I'm getting a message at the top of the Mods and Rockers page informing me that tags have been inserted but with no content between them. Subsequently I've been told off by Wikipedia, they think I'm a vandal and should refrain from editing! Looking on the edited page, beneath the two chapters I inserted a tag, then there is nthe book citation followed by another tag. Is this is what is wrong, how do I remove a tag? Also on the edited page it shows two chapters, but on the actual Mods and Rockers page it has all merged into one long paragraph.The second paragraph starts 'Three years later in 1964...'can this be separated? Sorry, I appear to be complicating things, Regards Colin — Preceding unsigned comment added by ColFergStod (talk • contribs) 17:27, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

@ColFergStod: Hello again! The vandalism reversion was from you inserting extraneous <ref></ref> tags. You only need one <ref> tag and one </ref> tag per citation. However, there is a different citation issue we have to talk about. In another comment, you self-identified as the author of the book you were citing. Per WP:SPS, this counts as citing a self-published source. Wikipedia does not allow anyone to cite things they have published themselves, as it makes Wikipedia less reliable. While your book is probably completely true, making an exception for one source means we have to make that exception for all sources, including some random person's blog. If you would like to continue making changes to Mods and Rockers, please request a change on the articles Talk page.

As far as paragraphs go, Wikipedia does not start paragraphs with indents. Instead, we use line breaks to break up paragraphs. Use <br /> to insert a line break. -- AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 01:12, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Mallie.sanford

Hi, I got a notification about a conflict of interest and about three photos regarding a Disputed non-free use rationale and a Replaceable fair use File. I am going through the page and editing it as best as I can in accordance with the conflict of interest guidelines. If you are going to delete it, I would highly appreciate a notice before doing so, because I am happy to make changes diligently so that this won't happen. I'm still going through and correcting anything I can find, reading up on wikipedia's codes and trying to make the page stronger altogether. In reference to the photos I have the copyright information sent to me via email and was going to send to Wikimedia's copyright service, and then upload them as new files with correct copyright info. Otherwise, I just want to make sure that my sources are good and whatnot so that I don't have more problems. I'm working here and there on making them more reliable (finding ISBN numbers where I can, reformatting the citations, etc) but if there is anything specific that I need to do to keep the page from being deleted it would be great to know about, or if you could redirect me to a source that can help me with that that would be great. Thanks! --Mallie.sanford (talk) 18:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I'm terribly sorry that I couldn't get to this a week ago, but I've been incredibly busy off-wiki and haven't had the chance to reply. I'll try to address your concerns in the order you asked about them.

1. As far as the possible conflict of interest goes, I don't know whether you truly have a COI or not. It sounds like you have already read WP:COI, but I will remind you that if you do have a COI, you need to WP:DISCLOSE it. If you need help figuring this out, you can let me know. We welcome constructive contributions from everyone!
2. For the photos of the artwork, we need to talk a bit about the copyright. In the US, there is copyright protection for artworks and sculptures, even if they are displayed publicly. This extends to reproductions of the copyrighted work, including the photos that you uploaded (c:Commons:FOP). Without proper permissions from the artist that created the artwork, we can't keep the images. You can read more information about properly licensing files at WP:DCM.
3. The portrait photograph of Kovachevich that you uploaded to Commons was deleted as well. Both Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons require that files have appropriate licensing information included on the file page. If you sent verification to the OTRS (permissions) team, the file will be reinstated once they process your request. Please do not reupload the file, as that just creates more work for everyone involved.
4. The article Thomas Kovachevich doesn't appear to be at risk of deletion. Because of how Wikipedia's database operates, nothing is ever fully deleted, it is just hidden from view. In most cases, well-written articles would not be "speedily deleted." WP:Speedy deletion is for articles that are so far below Wikipedia standards that they could not be saved. Thomas Kovachevich is above those standards, so only a deletion discussion would be able to delete it. In a deletion discussion, discussion is opened for 7 days so that any editor can make their case for the fate of the article. You should be notified in the case of such a discussion.
5. I'm glad that you are cleaning up the article! It does need a bit of work in a few places, and could always use more relevant information. You may wish to go over the WP:Manual of Style (MOS:SIMPLIFIED), and clean up the article accordingly.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia, and don't let this small obstacle stand in your way. If you ever need help, you can always message me here. I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can, but I might be busy. If you need help right away, you can use the methods described at WP:?, including the live help channel. Happy editing! -- AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 00:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

A message from ChefNathan

Hi I'm chefNathan, id love some guidance, if u have time. I'm teaching myself wikimarkup, and I've got the basics down, but that's about it. I re-wrote about 40-50% of the article María sabina and I'm understanding the importance of citations but I'm still a little way off writing my own article. I'm a happy critic receiver...happy for constructive criticisms and help in any way! I'm from Australia. Thanks! ChefNathan (talk) 11:38, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I've looked through your changes to María Sabina and Mediumship, and they look pretty good. Just keep going, and you'll get better! You may find Help:Wiki markup and WP:TMM helpful. If you have any questions, you can always ask me here. Happy editing! -- AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 13:26, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi again, what I'm really struggling with is the talk aspect of wiki. Where do I start a conversation on teahouse? It throws me into visual editor and I have no clue about VE, I only use wikiMarkup. Do I add a new question underneath the last question using the == as heading? Cheers ChefNathan (talk) 04:13, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello again! The Teahouse was started as an experiment, so things run a bit differently there. Instead of the usual norm of starting new talk page discussions at the bottom of the page, they decided to start new discussions at the top. If you find yourself unexpectedly thrown into VisualEditor, you can always click the [[ ]] button at the top-right of the screen to switch back to the source editor. Happy editing! -- AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 12:16, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, friend. It can get a bit confusing at times! But this I guess is why we have good information editors like yourself. By the way, my first article was rejected draft:Rafael Cardona Salazar but I am gaining the tools to be a published page creator! Thank you! I will get there! ChefNathan (talk) 12:56, 10 October 2016 (UTC) I'm going to kill the article. For every reference I provide, stating facts that are put into public record, there are news articles asking questions, like Washington post, that throw a tiny bit of mud onto my subject matter, making it impossible to 100% verify. Yet there are articles that don't have the same refs as mine being sanctioned as truth. So what is the point? I do good research, yet one dodgy news item, with no facts but questions, shoots it all down...fuck it. I'll stick to editing. ChefNathan (talk) 16:17, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

IP at James Watson

That's a racist editor known as Mikemikev, here and on the net. Recently had 2 accounts which I blocked as socks. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mikemikev/Archive. His IPs geolocate to around London, often using libraries, museums, The Cloud Network, but also others. Reverts on sight and let me or another Admin know. Thanks for your help.
