Eileen Myles in 2012

Hello, and thank you for your request at Files for upload! Unfortunately, your request has been declined. The reason is shown on the main FFU page. The request will be archived shortly; if you cannot find it on that page, it will probably be at this month's archive. Regards, davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 06:43, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for suggesting this picture for the article Eileen Myles. I agree, a photo would be helpful. However, the photo is credited to Leopoldine Core. I assume she owns the copyright. She will need to release it using Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. This release can be sent to the email address listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us_-_Licensing . As you now have enough edits to upload photographs, you can ask Ms. Core to give you a signed version of the Declaration of consent, then email in the consent form and upload the photo. If she is not willing to license her photograph under a license acceptable to Wikipedia, the image cannot be used. While Wikipedia does allow some use of non-freely-licensed works, this is rarely allowed for living people. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 06:46, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

hi, nice work on eileen miles. i see that you uploaded a photo to wikipedia [1]. keep in mind that there are photos at wikicommons [2]; that's normally where they go, unless it's fair use, which they won't allow for living people per policy. Farmbrough's revenge⇔ †@1₭ 15:06, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Plagiarised text addressed

@Davidwr:@Slowking4: The plagiarism introduced by Tom.bair on 2 March 2013, wherein this editor appropriated the words, verbatim, of Craig Epplin, from his review in The New Inquiry—see their addition to the "Critical reception" section, here [3]—has been corrected. For the current status, which places the entirety of cut-and-paste cribbed text into a quote, see the same section in this version (current as of this date, [4]).
