License tagging for File:Nikon-tokyo-large.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Nikon-tokyo-large.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

I see that you have just added a lot of new material to the (non-) article on Hiromi Tsuchida. The latter was horrible before you arrived and of course addition of new material is normally a good thing. However, you have to specify the source of material that you add.

Please see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Citations quick reference, and, for all of this in action for a Japanese photographer, also see for example Katsuhito Nakazato. -- Hoary (talk) 09:20, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

November 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Miki Jun Inspiration Award. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 10:27, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Hiroshi Suga

The article Hiroshi Suga has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. --DAJF (talk) 10:31, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added sources, and it is unlikely that the article will be deleted. -- Hoary (talk) 12:38, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the history of this article. On 18 November you wrote an unsourced stub of 325 bytes, with the edit summary Just a start will finish. The Domon award is indeed "one of Japan's most celebrated photographic awards", as you wrote; but it's not the job of an encyclopedia to say so. (Anyway, talk of maximum celebration would lead us to the Kimura award, which I generally find a pretty reliable guide to what's most modish and forgettable in Japanese photography -- in marked contrast to Kimura's own photography, or indeed to that of some of the first winners.) So I trimmed it. A bit later, DAJF attached three warning tags to the stub, two of which were fully justified. I then spent quite a considerable time adding sources to it (actually overdoing this, as I was in a bad mood) and adding a list of books (so important to so many Japanese photographers, including Suga I believe).

Meanwhile, no input from you. Well, perhaps that was just a matter of unfortunate timing. However, you did find time to add a pile of stuff to the crappy non-article on Hiromi Tsuchida. So far so good. But although it's all plausible, none of it is "sourced" (via footnotes). Please put some effort into "sourcing" this material. The sourcing doesn't have to be perfect; I'm willing to clear up and otherwise assist. -- Hoary (talk) 00:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Sumlut Gun Maw

The article Sumlut Gun Maw has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Thanks for starting this article. I have taken care of the annoying tag for you. I also started another article about Laiza Golf Club. If you have some relevant photos, please consider uploading them. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sumlut Gun Maw moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sumlut Gun Maw, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CommanderWaterford (talk) 16:54, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This move did not conform to the guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY and so has been reverted. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:44, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Duwa Lashi La.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Duwa Lashi La.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 17:54, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
