image copyrights edit

I'm trying to ad a film poster for my very first article, "Extortion (2017 film)." What are the steps necessary for being able to do so? Jean-Pierre Boucher (talk) 13:21, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

You need to be sure that the poster will qualify under Wikipedia's rules for non-free content, since it is pretty surely copyrighted. Read Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria and Wikipedia:Non-free content for the somewhat complex rules. A movie poster will often qualify, provided that the poster is discussed in the article, or that it is used to identify the film.
You can go to Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard to start the process. this will take you to Wikipedia:Files for upload where you can make a request that a more experienced editor do the upload, or to Special:Upload if you wan to do it yourself. Follow the directions in either case.
You will need to fill out a fair use rationale, as explained in Wikipedia:Non-free content
Then add the image to the article as described in Wikipedia:Extended image syntax.
Feel free to visit the Teahouse for further assistance, or use {{help me}} again. DES (talk) 16:29, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
By the way Extortion (2017 Film) urgently needs more and better citations to reliable sources. It might be better to do that before worrying about the movie poster. DES (talk) 16:31, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Extortion (2017 Film) edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Extortion (2017 Film) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Creating new articles edit

Creating new articles from a blank start is one of the harder tasks on Wikipedia. In future I urge you to use the Article Wizard to create a draft under the Articles for Creation project. There an experienced editor will review your draft once you think it is ready. This avoids the situation where a deletion is requested soon after the initial version of an article is created. Also, please read Wikipedia's Golden Rule and Your First Article. The advice there can be very helpful, in my view. DES (talk) 19:09, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Recent edit to FOXTENN edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from FOXTENN without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!
