Articles for deletion nomination of Housing theory

I have nominated Housing theory, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Housing theory. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Aramova (talk) 21:10, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Enniferj, I've closed the debate on this article as Delete, since that appeared to be the consensus. However, I agree that there is good material here, and I'd like to give you the chance to work on it some more, without the pressure of having it deleted right away. So I've copied that article's text to User:Enniferj/Housing theory. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Best, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 13:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Housing theory

A tag has been placed on Housing theory, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Paid editing

Hello, Enniferj,

Are you being paid to edit the article about the Metro Theater, either freelance or as a part of your employment or an internship? If so, you can create and develop the draft but it should be reviewed and approved by Articles for Creation. After it is moved into main space you should only make suggestions of the article talk page and not edit the article directly.

If you have questions, please ask the AFC reviewers who have reviewed your draft. Please try not to be impatient with the process, it can take a while as we are all volunteers. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:32, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Heading text

Liz, Thanks. No, I am not being paid. I am just a volunteer. Please bear with me. I am new to this:~)

--enniferj

Oh, I'm patient! We even have an essay called Wikipedia:There is no deadline. The point I try to get across to new editors is to take advantage of Draft space. It's more forgiving, you're allowed to develop articles, they don't have to be perfect. Once an article is moved into the main space of the project we have editors called New Page Patrollers who can tag articles for deletion if they don't meet Wikipedia standards for referencing and notability. So, even though it seems like AFC reviewers can be tough to please, they are trying to get articles in the best shape so they don't get deleted. Once you get approved in AFC, you're almost sure to survive in the main space.

If you'd rather not contact draft reviewers directly on their user talk page, you can go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk to ask for help. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:09, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Metro Theater (New York)

Hello! I came across your draft at the Teahouse. I added numerous sources and cleaned it up, and have moved it to article space. So it is now live at Metro Theater (New York).

I see you have declared a conflict of interest. The general rule with COI editors is that we prefer them to request changes to articles via the article talk page. If you have very small non-controversial factual changes that you want to make, that is fine to do directly. For most edits though, we prefer that you ask on the talk page.

Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia. Are you part of a group trying to resurrect the theater? Reading the sources, I could not believe that the interior got gutted! So sad. --- Possibly ☎ 04:53, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

P., Thank you so much! You are a rockstar! Yes. I live in the neighborhood and started a petition to reimagine, rebuild and reopen the theater. That petition campaign has led to the formation of “Friends of Metro Theater”. Taking a page from the “Friends of The High Line” playbook. Can’t thank you enough for cleaning the page up helping to get to article stage. I’ll try to get a good wide shot of the theater from across the street as you suggested.

File:Medallion2021.jpg

Hi Enniferj. I believe you're the same person who uploaded File:Medallion2021.jpg to Wikimedia Commons. I'm wondering if you can possibly provide a little more information about the sign such as when, for example, the sign was first installed. There may be copyright issues associated with the sign/medallions imagery that go beyond those of the photo you took as explained here, here, here and even possibly here. In other words, there might be two copyrights that need to be considered in order for that file to be OK to be hosted by Commons. Buidlings as a whole are generally OK to photograph in the United States without having to worry about infringing upon anyone's copyright; however, photos that focus in on a particular part of a building (like a sign or other artistic element) might not be OK depending on a certain number of factors. I'm assuming from the file's name that the photo was taken in 2021, but perhaps you can find out some more about provenance of the medallion to help clarify its copyright status. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:22, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello. Yes I uploaded the photo of the medallion. It did not occur to me that it was copyrighted. The medallion is part of the facade of the Metro Theater which was completed in 1933. Boak one of the architects who designed the theater died in 1981. So, yeah. Maybe it is copyrighted? Enniferj (talk) 01:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello. The Facade with the medallion appears on the cover of the book about Boak and Paris by Annice Alt. That photograph is courtesy of Friends of Terra Cotta (FoTC). The image also appears on FoTC website. http://www.preserve.org/fotc/ -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enniferj (talk • contribs) 02:25, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

If the medallion was bascially there from the beginning, then there's actually a good chance that it's no longer eligible for copyright protection. In that case, the only thing that might be needed is a separate license for the mediallion in addition to the one you provided for the photo. I've asked someone else about this and advised him of my post here; so, perhaps he will further clarify. FWIW, I don't think you were trying to pull a fast one and sneak something by Commons. It seems quite natural to be able to walk down the street and photograph something without out giving much thought to it's copyright status; after all, it's right there out in public. People are constantly uploading photos of statues, billboards, signs and other things they see because they think there's a way to make use of such a photo in a Wikipedia article. It's just that c:Commons:Licensing requires that all content be licensed in a certain way to make it much more easier to use by anyone who wants to, and this is something that those taking such photos might not be aware of. When a photo is uploaded to Commons, the uploader is not only making it available to use on Wikipedia, but is also making it available for anyone anywhere in the world to use at anytime and in anyway. So, Commons tries to be a sure as it possibly can be that the content it hosts can be used as such. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:30, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining:~) It would be great if we could use a photo of the medallion or the full facade with the medallion in the article. But now I understand why the Commons licensing is special.
