Orphaned non-free image File:Mizer-Bob.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Mizer-Bob.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. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
  • 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.

Non-free rationale for File:BobMizer.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BobMizer.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 23:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Bob Mizer[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Bob Mizer, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.bobmizer.org/bob-mizer/biography/, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Bob Mizer saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! We hope (talk) 02:07, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to add to this that we did see the note you left at the talk page, but unfortunately we aren't able to use it unless there is a note on the website that confirms it or we have received (and have processed) an email from you at the Wikimedia Foundation. The website currently says "© 2011 BOB MIZER FOUNDATION". It does not mention a license for reuse. The image is also going to have to be deleted unless a licensing statement is placed on the website or mailed to the Wikimedia Foundation. Please note that we are not able to accept permission for display on Wikipedia; your license must permit reuse elsewhere as well, even commercially. Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries is the best form letter to use for mailed permission. For your website, you could simply use a statement such as this:
The text of this website and the portrait of Bob Mizer at the top of the page are available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
Please let me know if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:29, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

____ I hope this is the correct place to respond. I have completely replaced the Biography on our website (http://www.bobmizer.org/bob-mizer/biography/) which now leaves our text on Wikipedia open and not published anywhere else. We will also change the tag on the image to a tag that allows the image to be freely used by anyone, as soon as we can see the page again so we can make the change. Will this take care of the problems?

Hi, I'm afraid that doesn't take care of the problem. :/ Copyright in the United States persists for many years after content is published; it doesn't stop protecting content when the publication is withdrawn. The best way to take care of the problem is to put the text back and put the release on the website. If you don't want to put the release on the website, that's fine, but you do need to send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation: Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries is the best form to use. It covers all the necessary features. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:11, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

--Thanks for the clear explanation and for your time. I did replace the original text on our site and added the statement as you suggested. At some point in the future, we will update our website, but now it does match our Wikipedia text and has the statement on the bottom of that page. Also, I updated the requirement of the tag on the photo, explaining why we need to use that picture. Thanks again for your clarifications. http://www.bobmizer.org/bob-mizer/biography --BobMizerBobmizer (talk) 18:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No company accounts are permitted; the persistent use of "we" by this accounts indicates it is used by two or more people to advertise bobmizer.org[edit]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

  • Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
  • Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
  • Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
