Ro ra 6

Hi, My name is Aurora. I work for an industrial manufacturing distributor in the Pacific Northwest. I work in social media and marketing. I'm far from an expert at Wikipedia, but I think it's a great project. If you have any questions about the material I post, please ask me!Ro ra 6 (talk) 00:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Ro ra 6, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Notes

First, only sign with the ~~~~ on what we call "Talk" pages. Pages such as this where talk is part of the title. And only sign your post at the end of the message in the main editing box, never in the "edit summary". Common mistake, but no need to keep doing it in every edit summary.

Next, and more importantly, there are problems with your MDiTV and related entries. While the stated COI does not prevent you from editing, and you have already stated an intention of following the rules, there is a bigger problem. The articles currently do not meet our guidelines for notability. To show this notability, add references from Wikipedia defined reliable sources such as newspapers, magazines, books, and other high quality sources that are both independent of the subject (MDiTV) and cover the subject in substantial depth. As in an article by Lazzara‎ in JAMA about MDiTV would be from a reliable source and cover it in sufficent depth, but it would not be independent. An article in JAMA by the US Surgeon General about med schools that gives a one sentence mention of MDiTV would fail on the substantial part. An article on my personal blog about the company would fail on not being a reliable source. Etc.

So, for a Portland company, try searching through the Portland Business Journal, Portland Tribune, and The Oregonian. Then check medical journals. The relevant rules are: biographies and companies. Hopefully this helps. Aboutmovies (talk) 10:08, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Virtual_OR.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Virtual_OR.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 08:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Robert Lazzara.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Robert Lazzara.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 03:38, 28 January 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 03:38, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:CathyMarshall.GIF

Thanks for uploading File:CathyMarshall.GIF. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 07:34, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Mditv.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Mditv.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:31, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Robert R. Lazzara

The article Robert R. Lazzara has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No claim for notability is given, article reads like a resume, and article is not properly sourced, since it is suppose to be a WP:BIO

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
