File permission problem with File:Christy Brigitte Darlington with Gretsch guitar.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Christy Brigitte Darlington with Gretsch guitar.jpg, which you've attributed to tumblr. 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. LGA talkedits 00:54, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

The record company needs to provide a specific release, the one on the website is not enough. LGA talkedits 04:00, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

January 2014 edit

  Hello, I'm NeilN. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Gisele Bündchen, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Please stop adding links to Amazon to articles. These are rarely proper references. NeilN talk to me 05:38, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Gisele Bündchen. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. NeilN talk to me 05:44, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Phoenix Marie, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Stop, just stop, shilling for Darlington. You may be a fan but don't spam links and trivia in every article remotely related to him. That's not what Wikipedia is for. --NeilN talk to me 05:52, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:58, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Two pieces of advice edit

  1. References - Should be in-depth magazine/newspaper articles directly backing up your additions.
  2. Relevance - Most of the content you added may be relevant to Darlington, but not relevant to the subject. For example, How is Darlington releasing a song about Gisele Bündchen relevant to her life? --NeilN talk to me 06:01, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Expanding on the last point, to use an example from a different field, lots of notable people state their views on President Obama. If these views receive media coverage, they might go in the subject's article but not Obama's bio unless a) Obama himself acknowledged them or b) the media coverage was sustained and in-depth. --NeilN talk to me 06:12, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
