November 2016

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Eli Lieb, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 08:38, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Shirtless violinist

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Shirtless violinist requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.  GILO   A&E⇑  22:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Shirtless Violinist (Matthew Olshefski) (June 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bradv was:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

File:Picture of Matthew Olshefski the Shirtless Violinist.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) 17:05, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Picture of Matthew Olshefski the Shirtless Violinist.png

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Picture of Matthew Olshefski the Shirtless Violinist.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. — Bilorv(c)(talk) 15:32, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Images of Matthew Olshefski

Hi, Srunger72! I've noticed you've been trying to upload an image of Matthew Olshefski. I've had to tag the pages for deletion, because they're not allowed under Wikipedia's very strict fair use policy. As I tried to point to in my edit summaries, we do not allow non-free images of people still living—this policy lists "Pictures of people still alive" under its "Unacceptable use" section. The reason for this is that we cannot accept images where a free equivalent could be created (criterion #1). Our policies are very strict for two reasons: we want to make it absolutely sure that we're observing United States law (where our servers reside), and we're trying to create a free encyclopedia that others can modify, republish and use as they wish.

If you have any questions, you can reply here, ask me on my talk page or post a question at the Teahouse. Thanks! — Bilorv(c)(talk) 23:10, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(By the way, you can remove any of the automated bot notices on this page if you want—in fact, you are allowed to blank anything on your talk page. They're just there to make sure you are made aware of what happens regarding pages you have created.) — Bilorv(c)(talk) 23:12, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am a bit confused. I see that various living musicians have pictures of themselves on their pages. I was trying to post a picture of Matthew Olshefski provided by Matthew Olshefski. The bot kept saying the picture was too big so I downsized its resolution. I am confused as how to correctly categorize this picture. I can not icnldue the pciture of it is a problem, but please, please, please do not delete "The Shirtless Violinist" page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srunger72 (talk • contribs) 00:49, 1 August 2018 (UTC)}}[reply]

It's just the pictures that are nominated for deletion, not the page itself. On other pages, if a musician has an image of themselves then it is (almost always) because that image is free—that is, it is in the public domain, or was released under a Creative Commons license or similar. These images are uploaded to Wikimedia Commons rather than Wikipedia itself.
You tagged your image under a non-free license, but I now see that you didn't specify a source. If the image was something like a promotional still or a screenshot from a YouTube video, it's already been released under a non-free license and so we cannot use it. But if the image was taken by you, or was released under a free license, then you could add it to Wikimedia Commons and then use it in the article.
