List of Blue Peter presenters edit

You may not have known this, but if you add material to an article, you need to give the source for it. In addition, you can't use words like "unfortunately" because that isn't language demonstrating a neutral point of view. As your edit to this list had the same problem both times, I've reverted it both times. Hope this makes sense. The links above should help you with more information about Wikipedia. Enjoy!

No, you need to give a source - a reliable source at that - for your claim that there is no footage of her in the archives. You can't just stick it in and hope that it's OK. Do you have a source? BencherliteTalk 00:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

How does List of Blue Peter Presenters work edit

I Have a rare photo of Presenter Leila Williams taken in 1960, it is a Telesnap taken from an actual Broadcast, I would like to include it on the page but not sure how to do it, as far a I am aware it is in the public domain and the source is http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn233/amikolaichek/LeilaWilliamsandG1958.jpg

(Leilaanitavalerielesley (talk) 20:32, 31 May 2012 (UTC))Reply

It is not in the public domain; as you were told before, copyright in the UK lasts for 70 years and there is nothing to suggest that the BBC has waived copyright in the broadcast to enable photographs of it to be used freely. You might be able to argue that it can be used under a fair-use justication in her article, but not in the list of presenters where it would just be decoration and would be removed as soon as it was seen there by anyone who knew about fair-use images in lists. Hope this helps. BencherliteTalk 20:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

How does List of Blue Peter Presenters work? edit

I have rare photo of Leila Williams presenting a Jan 1960 edition of 'Blue Peter' which I found on the internet with source 'photo bucket' how to I add it to the site? thanks Leilaanitavalerielesley (talk) 16:06, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Moved from above so that it can be found; use the 'New section' tab in the upper right row between 'Edit' & 'View history' to automatically place sections at the bottom (except project pages which specify 'alphabetical' or 'top'). Dru of Id (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Unless you can show that it has been released into the public domain or has been licensed in accordance with Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA requirements, I suspect you can't use it - in the UK, image copyright lasts for 70 years, but I'm not sure of the US situation. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Short answer: Unless the media you found is either in the public domain, or published under a specific set of Creative Commons licenses, the media can not be added here. Cheers, C(u)w(t)C(c) 19:50, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Further question edit

Many thanks for your help and info although I am not sure that the BBC does claim copyright on that photo/telesnap of Leila Williams. I wrote to Blue Peter and sent a copy of it and they claimed to have no knowledge of its existence, not sure if Leila Williams herself even knows of its existence. I have gleaned from the source of Richard Marsons book 'Blue Peter inside the archives' that it is from the 8 January 1960 edition of Blue Peter featuring the dolls Of Astrid DE Pauw, as the the photo matches the desription of this episode exactly. There is no video/film recording of this episode as stated in his book. I feel this photo should be used in some part in the History of Blue Peter,it doesn't even appear in Richard Marsons book Blue Peter 50th Anniversary, so I am doubtful that he is even aware of it existence. I have contacted Kaleidscope publishing 'Blue Peter Inside the Archives' and they had never seen sight of it before! Any suggestions?

I have moved this down - please add new material at the bottom of talk pages - that is where people will look for it, and that makes it easier to follow the conversation.
I am afraid the fact that nobody knows the origin of the photo is not enough - Wikipedia cannot use it unless we know that it is in the public domain or released under a suitable license. JohnCD (talk) 21:51, 31 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Help me! edit

Please help me with... pipedream musical 1955 I have added information to this wiki page and it has been reverted why? Leilaanitavalerielesley (talk) 20:26, 20 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

The best place to ask this is on the article talk page, Talk:Pipe Dream (musical). 331dot (talk) 20:46, 20 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your reply I have done this thanks again. Leilaanitavalerielesley (talk) 21:03, 20 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Instead of doing what was suggested, you added your request to an archive of a completely different talk page, where it would not normally get a response because we generally don't modify archive pages.
One problem with your addition was that it was added to the lead of the article (a summary of the body of the article) rather than some appropriate place in the body - perhaps the 'writing and casting' section. Another problem is that you cited Goodreads as a reference - Goodreads is considered user-generated content and cannot be used as a reference. The book described on Goodreads could perhaps be cited directly, but you'd have to give a page number where the information can be found. Unfortunately, the book's publisher is a vanity press, so it falls into the category of self-published sources - which we also can't cite.
Finally, the established citation style for the page is shortened footnotes and you did not follow this style when adding your material. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 03:10, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
thanks for your help I went to the talk page of pipe dream and didn't know how to get help from there exactly so didn't know I had put it in a different talk page. yes I can see now I ought to have put it in the 'writing and casting ' section and yes I could give the exact page number but no way would I know the book's publisher is a vanity press as you say a category of self-published sources seems strange that you cant cite from them the rules seem very complicated to me, so in other words I cant add to the site , information that I feel shows a very interesting side to both the casting of the musical and a very interesting side to R&H themselves i.e. Rodgers would not cast members of Hammerstein's family in their shows. I have never read that information before and believe me I have read a lot about them. thanks again. Leilaanitavalerielesley (talk) 12:51, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
