Hello. Thanks for the material on Lizbeth Webb that you added to Guys and Dolls. I have asked for a reference for the information, perhaps you could supply it. The Wikipedia guides for references are at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. Please let me know (on my talk page here or on the talk page of the article) if you need help or have questions.JeanColumbia (talk) 12:30, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi again-well, a good notice is always nice! Perhaps you want to include it in her article, but it needs a reference to the original review, something like (author name, "Title of Article", paper name date, page number). Your choice. JeanColumbia (talk) 12:45, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Images

edit

The Wikipedia guidelines for images are at WP:IMAGE. You have to "upload" the image to Wikipedia for it to be visible. You also have to show that it is permissible to be used on Wikipedia, something to do with copyright status, see the policy at WP:IUP. Although I have uploaded images in the past, I find the guidelines to be somewhat complicated, and I really cannot help you here. After you read the articles, if you think your image is ok to upload but you need help, the article at H:IOUF looks good, and you can also place the "helpme" (with {{) on your talk page. There is also a general place to ask for help at WP:HELP.JeanColumbia (talk) 15:47, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't appear that you uploaded the Bless the Bride image. Can you do so? -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:44, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. You can't just put in the name of the image on your computer. You need to upload it to Wikipedia first. look at Bless the Bride, and you will see that you failed to add an image. Go to WP:IMAGE for instructions. -- Ssilvers (talk) 12:37, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Bless_The_Bride.jpeg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Bless_The_Bride.jpeg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 05:06, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ah! There it is! I added it to the article and fixed the Fair Use rationale and license tag. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 12:27, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much. Best regards (posted by Bertie1pug1 - please use four tildes ~ to sign you name)

Hi. Where did you get the information that it was Cochran's 125th prod and that Wendy Toye directed? Thanks for any information! -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:07, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I have loads of original press cuttings of Bless The Bride. Lizbeth Webb is my mother. Hope you didn't mind me adding the photo. Best regards, Rory Campbell

Hello, Rory. The photo is lovely. Can you please look in the cuttings for the source of the the information that it was Cochran's 125th prod and that Wendy Toye directed? We need the author's name, name of the article, date, page number and name of the publication where it appeared, or as much of this information as you can find. See WP:RS. Please sign your name by typing in four tildes, like this: ~~~~ That will automatically make your user name appear with the date stamp. Thanks! Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:58, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

BTW, can you put up a non-copyrighted photo of your dad? When you add the photo, please mention that you are the subject's son, that you own the photo and that you release it to the public domain (or at least license it on the Creative Commons license). Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:21, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your great-great-great grandfather?

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Bless The Bride.jpeg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Bless The Bride.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 10:56, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I addressed the commenter's concern, but feel free to improve the Fair use summary and the related article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Lizbeth Webb.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Lizbeth Webb.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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 08:10, 15 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
