Speedy deletion nomination of File:Edward Lehman and Dick Cormack of DMACK and DMACK Holdings LTD.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Edward Lehman and Dick Cormack of DMACK and DMACK Holdings LTD.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Kkimbero and DMACK Wikipedia Article - Not Quite a Love Affair

I am an intelligent and experienced writer. I am familiar with a good many applications. Then I came across the challenge of writing and posting a Wikipedia article.

In my career I have had to take many crash course tutorials in order to quickly grasp the finer points of how to use an application so that I may integrate it into my knowledge immediately.

Help pages or tutorials on Wikipedia? They are absolutely ridiculous. Convoluted. Endless loops of links. I finally had to search for YouTube videos featuring people who could explain it to me in plain language with a plain demonstration.

I find that Wikipedia makes it nearly impossible to edit under the visual editor. So I had to take a crash course in coding. That was lovely fun. ... Right now I am experiencing the great joy I am finding every morning when I turned my computer on. Full of anticipation, I go to my talk page to see how many things have been deleted, flagged for immediate deletion, un-associated files for deletion, I am certain one day I will find my brain flagged for tentative deletion.

finally, after two weeks of frustrating and often disappointing work, I correctly finish my article... EXCEPT the very last footnote has something wrong with it that I cannot for the life of me figure out.

WHY? WHY?

My guess is because it's Wikipedia after all.

@Kkimbero:Don't worry Kkimbero. This is a common mishap for all starting editors at Wikipedia. Don't get discouraged. When I was still a newcomer, which I still consider to be one now, I was naive in many ways. In reality, you don't need to take a crash course in coding. There are many scripts out there designed to help the user get familiarized with Wikipedia coding and help them. I currently use a script that basically allows me to instant ref a page. The tool allows me to go on a page, click a link in your bookmarks, and generates the reference for that page instantly. Other tools like It is true that those help pages and tutorials are endless loops of links, although you'll have to get used to it eventually. In the preferences section next to your username at the top right corner, you may find a box stating Gadgets. In that box, you will find many tools that you can enable or disable to help ease your work load on editing Special:PreferencesYou should try for the Adopt-a-user program. This program allows experienced editors to adopt anyone wanting to be adopted. The adopters will give lessons and explain different material about Wikipedia to you, for example, referencing and copy-editing. I am currently being adopted by Missionedit. Well, hope you have a great time on Wikipedia! (PS: If an 11 year old like me can understand Wikipedia quickly, you can too! Sorry if that sounded cheesy (: ) FiendYT ★ 01:27, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:DMACK's Foreign Legal Representative Edward Lehman.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DMACK's Foreign Legal Representative Edward Lehman.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, BOT-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate your file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
