File permission problem with File:Kristina Vaculik & Elena Davydova.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Kristina Vaculik & Elena Davydova.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Elena Davydova 1980 AA Olympic Gold Medallist.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Elena Davydova 1980 AA Olympic Gold Medallist.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 12:05, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

List of people who disappeared mysteriously

Hi. Please note that there is a consensus that only persons with articles be included in List of people who disappeared mysteriously. Thanks --Dmol (talk) 04:06, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi. There is nothing in the page that says that - and this is not consistent as there are a number of entries that do not have Wikipedia articles. The two items that I added are famous in Canada and should be on this list. Geezerlaw ([User talk:Geezerlaw|talk]]) 23:44, 26 January 2017

Hello again,

The policy is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Write_the_article_first . This list is for individuals and small groups/crews etc. Have a look at the edit histories to get a better idea. You are right, there are a few that have been added without articles and I'll go thru this later when I get a spare moment. --Dmol (talk) 05:33, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Please observe the long-running consensus that Dmol has mentioned above. Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 09:31, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
