Thank you for uploading Image:AJB.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Image:ALB.jpg requires attention

Hello. An image you had previously uploaded, Image:ALB.jpg, did not have a licensing tag. Another editor has tagged the image as {{GFDL-presumed}}. You may wish to visit the image page and provide the correct license. You can view a list of all the image licensing tags at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All. The image risks being nominated for deletion as failing to have a license. Many of these {{GFDL-presumed}} image are used on User pages. --User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 00:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:ALB.jpg

Hi. When you uploaded Image:ALB.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 07:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:AWB obit picture Bettwy Andy.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:AWB obit picture Bettwy Andy.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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:24, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Candid shot of ALB walking on Phoenix sidewalk circa 1954.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Candid shot of ALB walking on Phoenix sidewalk circa 1954.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Bearcat (talk) 03:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not have different inclusion standards for women than we do for men, or different inclusion standards for Latinos or African Americans than we do for white people — if the exact same claim of notability, and the exact same sourcing, had been brought to an article about a white man, it still would have been declined as not enough. Yes, Wikipedia is aware of the systemic bias problem, but it's not an intentional bias that Wikipedia is actively perpetrating of its own accord by maintaining double standards — it's an accidental by-product of the fact that until very recently, women and people of colour were at a systemic disadvantage in society when it came to becoming as famous as white men who were doing the same things. And we have numerous projects on here which attempt to rectify that imbalance, and I'm an active member of several of them — but the answer is not to create special lower standards by which a woman or a person of colour can get into Wikipedia for things that wouldn't ordinarily get a person into an encyclopedia, just because they were women or people of colour: the answer is to dig harder into finding the many women and people of colour who were doing encyclopedic things we just haven't documented on here yet. I'm sorry you're disappointed, but this isn't an issue of gender or anti-Latino bias: the article just isn't claiming or sourcing anything that would get any other person into an encyclopedia in and of itself, regardless of their gender or ethnic background. Bearcat (talk) 17:46, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I made three points in my response to you. You conceded one of them (that gender bias is a recognized systemic problem at Wikipedia), and did not respond to the other two (that the historical context of women and minorities, especially female minorities, is not being taken into account, and that the conflict-of-interest policy is inherently biased against females and minorities). Perhaps you concede those points as well. You have not explained why being the first female Hispanic elected to office in 1930s Arizona is not notable. You also trivialize the nationwide attention she got when she first took office as reporting on “something slightly unusual” that happened in Arizona, but your argument is conclusory and internally illogical, since, if it was only slightly unusual, it would not have been reported so widely. You also summarily dismiss “County Recorder” as an unimportant office, without explaining how you reached that conclusion, and you state that that “Political almanacs don't help the case”; I am not sure you carefully considered that the almanacs are cited to show that the office of County Recorder was important enough to be included each year. The opinion letters from the state Attorney General are also intended as evidence of the importance of her office. You summarily dismiss the citation to Find-a-Grave, but I am not sure that you saw that the citation is to primary evidence (a copy of her baptismal certificate), showing that she was born in Mexico, to substantiate that she was Hispanic, since she did not have a Hispanic sounding name when she was elected. You adamantly insist in no uncertain terms that she is not notable, but I received earlier comments from editors who suggested that she might be notable. Is it possible to request that your colleagues be polled for consensus on this point? Sbettwy (talk) 23:17, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

For starters, I don't even understand your claim that the conflict of interest rules are in any way biased against females and minorities — you've asserted that, but you haven't even attempted to show how that's the case. I can't address that until I know what your argument in that regard even is.

The local (city, town, county) level of politics is not a topic of inherently encyclopedic interest in most cases. We do allow some people at that level of government into Wikipedia based on certain standards (e.g. mayors of major cities, but not mayors of small towns; city councillors who can be really well-sourced as having become nationally recognized far beyond the norm for that role, but not all city councillors, etc.) — but it's not a level of government at which a person is automatically an appropriate topic for a Wikipedia article just because they existed. And the "national" coverage you showed does not demonstrate that she achieved any level of fame outside of her own county: not a single one of them contains any more than a blurb's worth of information about her — and even if any of them had been more substantive, our WP:BLP1E rules would still apply since every single one of them covers her in the context of a single event which carries no encyclopedic significance in its own right.

We still can't base an article on user-generated sources like findagrave, because user-generated sources can be misrepresented. And we can't base an article on directory or almanac sources, because all they do is list her name, while failing to contain any substantive information about her. And we can't base an article on private correspondence, even if it's archived in a fonds somewhere — we have to base it on secondary sources analyzing the importance of that correspondence. And as far as any prior commenter on your draft said anything at all about her potential notability, what they said is that the sources weren't showing it adequately — if they had been satisfied that the notability and sourcing were where they needed to be, the article would have been approved and I wouldn't have had to comment at all. So no, what I said is not in any conflict with what anybody else said either.

Again, what you're missing is that I'm personally a member of more than group that has a systemic underrepresentation issue on Wikipedia, and I have family connections to two more — I'm fully aware of the problem, don't need lessons about it from anyone who thinks I'm less aware of it and less personally affected by it than I really am, and I actively participate in several of the projects that we already have in place to rectify it. But the problems that exist have nothing to do with our inclusion and sourcing standards being biased at all, but are a factor of our userbase not being demographically representative of the general population — so the solution isn't to create a special class of inclusion standards by which women or people of colour can get into Wikipedia on less substantive notability and less substantive sourcing than a white man could, it's to identify the many women and people of colour who are still missing even though they do fully meet our existing standards.

And finally, I'm not the only editor who declined the draft — and I'm really not that interested in being held personally responsible for, or asked to answer for, everybody else's decisions too. I can speak only for myself, and am not responsible for any of the other three editors — so I'm not particularly interested in getting drawn into an extended debate where I have to personally justify every editor's prior decisions about it.
