File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Architect Mr. Zvi Hecker.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 uploaded by following this link. 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 01:52, 7 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 01:52, 7 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

GA review of Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer

edit

Hi -- I noticed you promoted Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer to GA, but I don't see your review anywhere -- did you forget to post it? Per the instructions at WP:GAN/I, the review is supposed to be at Talk:Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer/GA1, but the only comment there is that you plan to review it. At a minimum there's a requirement that you list the spotchecks you performed, and it's expected that you make comments in the review so others can tell what you looked at and any comments you have. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Mike, Thank you so much for reaching out, and I am sorry for not seeing your post sooner. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I had attempted to post the checklist, but the system somehow converted it into "failed" and I was not sure how to fix it. I saw that many people have submitted reviews and comments over the years and those were addressed. I genuinely believe that the article meets the criteria. I will try to fix my deficiencies soon. Again, thank you and have a nice day.GoldenPenny (talk) 20:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

No problem; these things happen. Do you still have your notes? If you could add a summary of what you looked at to the GA review page, ideally with a note of what sources you spotchecked, that would be great. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hey GoldenPenny, I have reverted the promotion of the article given that it's now been a week. From a procedural standpoint, you did not close the GA review, so the article is still a good article nominee. Like Mike suggested above, I would ask that you add your comments to the review page as soon as possible so that the nominator can respond to them or the discussion can be closed. Let me know if you have any questions! TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
