Hi, you aren't by chance the former user IntegrityMedia1, are you? Chubbles (talk) 19:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd just ask that you read the guidelines at WP:COI. If you work for/are associated with Integrity Media, I'd advise against editing in topics closely associated with the company. Chubbles (talk) 19:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Re:

Not really, it's done on a case-by-case basis. If you add two or three outside references you can usually delete a "primarysources" or "refimprove" tag and it's fine. Chubbles (talk) 19:38, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Nah, no one reads your talk page unless they have a reason to. And most people don't respond to questions on article talk pages unless the article is on their watchlist. It's kind of like throwing darts when you're drunk; every once in a while you hit somebody. If you really need to get a hold of somebody, anybody, you can put this on your talk page - {{helpme}} - and someone will come and talk to you. Chubbles (talk) 20:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} When is it appropriate to include a reference from a myspace page or an external link to a myspace page?

• As for a reference, almost never. As for an external link, it seems to be okay to use it only if the singer in question is unquestionably notable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 20:21, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Actually, WP:EL specifically forbids MySpace. So even in that case, I wouldn't recommend it. Only when you have a really good reason to. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Tsk, tsk. A MySpace link is a legitimate external link if it is an official band/artist page; we even have a template, {{myspace}}, for this usage. Chubbles (talk) 20:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Is there a way to delete an image which you have submitted to Wikimedia?WorshipGuy22 (talk) 20:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Edit the image page and add {{db-author}}. –xeno (talk) 20:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Baloche PR Photo.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Baloche PR Photo.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 18:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Could you please stop removing the notice here? If you want to remove it, please provide some source information- as in, somewhere we can verify the licensing. J Milburn (talk) 14:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Looking at your upload history, could you please clarify why you've uploaded so many publicity photos? Are you an employee of Integrity Media? Have you contacted them? Either way, a little clarification rather than removing tags without comment would be nice. J Milburn (talk) 14:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Where did you get this permission? Via email? J Milburn (talk) 15:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Right. Could you email Integrity Media (explain that the email is in effect a formality) and have them say that they are happy for their publicity photos to be released under the [whatever license you're uploading them under] license? Or, if they're not happy for all of their photos, "any photo uploaded by WorshipGuy22 to be released under the _____ license". Once you've got the email, forward it to the address here with a link to your upload log and a note explaining that the email applies to all images there. An OTRS volunteer will then add an OTRS notice to each image, and you can add the same notice to any images you upload later. If you can't get the email for whatever reason, the images will probably have to be deleted, as we will have no way of verifying the permission. J Milburn (talk) 16:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, director of public relations sounds like a great person to contact. The OTRS volunteer will add a banner with a link to the appropriate OTRS ticket so that other OTRS volunteers can see it- you can copy and paste the code for future images you upload, providing they're still covered (for instance, if the email said that all publicity images were under X license, you could paste it into uploads of any publicity photo from Integrity Media). An important thing to remember is that permission for Wikipedia to use the images is not enough- instead, the must be released under a free license, such as the one you have been uploading them under so far. J Milburn (talk) 16:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Why are you requesting the images are deleted? Were Integrity Media not happy to have the images uploaded? J Milburn (talk) 16:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

That's a shame, certainly, but at least now you can see why I was so concerned about them. Fingers crossed the company will decide that they have no issue with the images being released. J Milburn (talk) 16:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Lincoln Brewster PR Photo 2008.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Lincoln Brewster PR Photo 2008.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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 GFDL 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image 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 in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 21:32, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
