Speedy deletion nomination of Inez Salinger edit

 

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Inez Salinger, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Images edit

Be careful about uploading all these new images. You are uploading promotional images. Because promotional images are not the same thing as screenshot images, you need to make sure you are updating the license material and all that on the images' pages as well. Not to mention...the places you got these images from. The use of promotional images are also often debated on Wikipedia, which is why it is usually best to go with screenshot images.

Kelly Cramer photo edit

Bg17, I was wondering if you could update the infobox photo of Kelly Cramer with the white background like you did for the other One Life to Live character profiles. I think it would be better to have that type of picture up to be in accordance with the other characters. Thanks a lot! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.4.42.21 (talk) 17:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Shawn Butler (General Hospital) edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Shawn Butler (General Hospital), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: List of miscellaneous General Hospital characters. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 23:16, 7 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Shawn Butler.jpg edit

 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Shawn Butler.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 00:24, 8 April 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Stop creating articles/splitting from lists edit

These soap opera characters are in these lists for a reason. Characters like Stacy and Kimberley are non notable and should remain in the list until a proper effort has been made to improve them. At best Stacy's article was lazy copy paste from the list with an image wacked on it.RaintheOne BAM 22:25, 31 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Listen, you don't get to decide exceptions to consensus. She is a former EA in the eyes of the soap opera.. but this is an encyclopedia. We list what occupations the character has done. You can rewatch this work of fiction over and over, therefor she will always be a EA. Surely you can understand that. Maybe if you replied to messages people leave you and ask for a little help, maybe you'd do something right - because from what I can see mkany editors have to clean up the mess you leave behind...RaintheOne BAM 00:17, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, a number of your recent file uploads, such as File:KimAndrews.jpg, had missing or false information regarding their source and copyright status. Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Images and other media must only be uploaded if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our image use policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. RaintheOne BAM 22:28, 31 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Stacy Morasco (One Life to Live).

September 2011 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Tomás Delgado (One Life to live), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already).

File permission problem with File:Nigel Bart.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Nigel Bart.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-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 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.
