For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Stephen M. Hackett.jpg

edit
 

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 File:Stephen M. Hackett.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.licdn.com%2Fmpr%2Fmpr%2Fshrinknp_200_200%2FAAEAAQAAAAAAAA1FAAAAJDU5NWJjNjg0LTJkN2EtNDM4ZS1iMzM4LTNlNWJlODMzZjQwNQ.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fsthackett&docid=oV3YMD0-3GyZPM&tbnid=jWN1-Q0eN_bDcM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjC5_iF8ojTAhWHr1QKHe4zDVwQMwgdKAEwAQ..i&w=200&h=200&bih=664&biw=1084&q=Stephen%20M.%20Hackett&ved=0ahUKEwjC5_iF8ojTAhWHr1QKHe4zDVwQMwgdKAEwAQ&iact=mrc&uact=8#h=200&imgrc=jWN1-Q0eN_bDcM:&vet=10ahUKEwjC5_iF8ojTAhWHr1QKHe4zDVwQMwgdKAEwAQ..i&w=200. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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. reddogsix (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Regarding your edits on Relay FM, Myke Hurley and Stephen M. Hackett

edit
 

Hello Avallieres. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Avallieres. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Avallieres|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Emphrase - 💬 | 📝 19:29, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not really sure how to reply... but I'll do it here hopefully that's what you ment. I'm in no way linked to, paid by Relay FM or it's founders. This is just a great podcast network with great shows and thought their presence should be noted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Avallieres (talkcontribs)

Great. Now I want to explain a few things to you.
  • Regarding File:Stephen M. Hackett.jpg, per WP:COPYRIGHT, that image is not properly licensed, hence deleted. Also, you cannot upload the same image again to use in the article as a fair use image (if the copyright owner do not license them under a free license) because per WP:NFC#UUI #1, images of living person should always be under a free license to be used in Wikipedia.
  • Regarding Stephen M. Hackett, it have a very high chance of being discussed to be deleted because there seems to be not enough reliable sources (definition of "reliable sources" on WP is found here) to justify its notability (definition found here), the primary factor on WP to determine if an article can be put on Wikipedia.
  • Please remember to sign your replies on talk pages such as this one, by adding ~~~~ to the end of your replies.
If you have any other questions, you can leave a message at the Teahouse or on my user talk page. Happy editing! -Emphrase - 💬 | 📝 20:15, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
