Article selection

edit

Hi Mmilldev - You have several good choices on your sandbox page. I like the cortical granule option best among them. There are a number of good review articles to use to gather information. In addition to the one citation already on the article page, a quick pubmed search using the terms "cortical granule" AND review will find additional resources. If you have trouble accessing articles not in SLU's library, the librarian can usually get them fairly quickly through interlibrary loan. I notice that you included Gilbert on your list in your sandbox. Please note that WP prefers secondary sources (e.g. review articles in journals) over tertiary sources such as textbooks. If you agree with this choice, please add your selection to the table at the bottom of the course page. And have fun! Biolprof (talk) 16:49, 22 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

File:Cortical granules.jpg

edit

Hi! You recently uploaded File:Cortical granules.jpg without an image license tag. Since the source you provided clearly stated that the article and all data with it was released under the {{cc-by-4.0}} license, I went ahead and tagged it for you. In the future, please note that it is the uploader's responsibility to make sure that the image description page lists both the source and the copyright status of the image. You can see a directory of license tags here. Cheers, NickContact/Contribs 05:32, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply


Thank you, Nick. I just uploaded another image before I saw your message. Do you know how exactly I can tag this second image with {{cc-by-4.0}}? I have not seen that option yet. Mmilldev (talk) 05:53, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

All you have to do is edit the file description page and place {{cc-by-4.0}} on the page. Note if you're copying from the source of this page, don't include "t1|" inside the curly brackets on the image page. That is just to stop the tag from actually showing up here on your talk page. --NickContact/Contribs 06:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply


Thanks again, Nick!

File permission problem with File:Mammalian cortical granule exocytosis during fertilization.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Mammalian cortical granule exocytosis during fertilization.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:17, 1 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
