J. D. Glass[edit]

Hi, Dvince!

I've moved your article to User:Dvince/J. D. Glass. While you're working on it, it's safest to keep articles in your userspace. Once you have some references on it and it's reasonably stable, you can move it back to mainspace. Let me know if you have any questions! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Secondly to this, you can readd the appropriate categories to the article when it gets moved back into mainspace, but I've temporarily removed them since user subpages shouldn't be filed in article categories. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you need further assistance with this. Bearcat (talk) 01:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If her work has been reviewed in a sufficiently notable literary magazine, or if there are published interviews with her in newspapers, magazines, etc., or author profiles from a writers' festival that she might have participated in, those are usually sufficient as sources. The main rule about sources on Wikipedia is that they need to be independent of the subject. That is, while it's okay to link to the author's own website, that isn't sufficient by itself — we need some references which show that J. D. has been written about by people other than herself. Judging by the publisher's website, it looks like there are some reviews and interviews linked from there which would be good sources. Bearcat (talk) 22:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation in Punk Like Me[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Punk Like Me, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Punk Like Me is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Punk Like Me, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Deletion of Punk Like Me[edit]

Hello!

It seems that My article about the book "Punk Like Me" was deleted for copyright issues. Can you please tell me how to resolve this. I am in direct contact with the author and can provide any permission needed.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvince (talk • contribs)

Hi, Dvince!

Wikipedia has pretty strict rules about copyrighted material. You can look over WP:COPY if you have questions. My suggestion, though, would be to start the article fresh and new. Given the subject, post a note at the LGBT WikiProject and/or the Novels WikiProject. Hope that helps! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:PLM.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:PLM.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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) 02:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
