A tag has been placed on File:JonAlun1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Thanks for uploading File:Jon Christos photo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:06, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Jon Christos 2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jennifer Thomas (pianist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Murray (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LaMona was:

You must only use reliable references as defined in wp:rs. You may NOT use sales sites (Amazon, etc.), crowd-sourced sites (IMDB), sites by individuals, sites with no editorial policy, fan sites, etc. I removed the obvious un-reliable sources. As for notability, you can look at WP:NMUSIC and WP:NARTIST for ideas, but at the moment you do not have sources that support notability.

I'm sorry no one answered. I usually try to go through and make sure the questions have all been answered, but I've been having some computer problems and yesterday I just forgot. Your question has been archived so I can't really answer it there, but I can tell you all you need for a proper reference is enough information about each book for someone who is determined to find that book to do so. It is not required that any source be online.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:14, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Alfshire. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Glen Gabriel".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. GamerPro64 13:50, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with...

I have received an email containing an head shot image from a Wikipedia subject for use on their profile. As they approached me to use the image can I go ahead and upload it, and if so under what license?

Alfshire.

Alfshire (talk) 15:56, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You will need to ask the person who sent you that image. By default, photos are copyrighted by the photographer (not the person depicted in the image), and we would need the copyright holder to release the image under a free license such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License. If we do not have evidence that the image has been released under such a license (and under which such license), we cannot use it. Merely being sent the image, or even being given permission to use it on Wikipedia, is not enough. See also WP:Requesting copyright permission and WP:Donating copyrighted materials.

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Please expand upon and summarize critical reviews, rather than just adding external links. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory of links. Avoid personal blogs and other user-generated or self-published content. ZoneMusicReporter.com looks suspect, and it is hardly worth mentioning non-notable or vanity awards (Akademia is an explicit artist promotion website).
