File permission problem with File:Self-portrait of illustrator Harry V.R. Anderson.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Self-portrait of illustrator Harry V.R. Anderson.jpg, which you've attributed to Harry Van-Dine Ryder Anderson. 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 21:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest editing[edit]
Hello, Morykwas. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Harry V.R. Anderson, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:29, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Morykwas. Based upon what you posted at c:COM:VPC#Self-portrait of my wife's stepfather, it appears that you're trying to create an article about someone that you may be personally connected to. For this reason, I've added the above template to your user talk page because it contains blue links to relevant Wikipedia pages that dealing with this type of thing. Please take the time to look at these pages because it might explain things about Wikipedia that you weren't aware of and might help you avoid issues with others. In addition, you might want to look at Wikipedia:Ownership of content, Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything, Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth and Wikipedia:Notability (people) because those pages also contain information that you might find helpful. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:36, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Marchjuly (talk). Thanks for taking time to send me this information. I completely understand that Wikipedia wants to avoid a conflict of interest (COI). The subject of my article Draft:Harry V.R. Anderson was an accomplished comic book illustrator in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. He was my wife's stepfather, but he died in 1972 -- which was more than two full years before she and I ever met. So there's really no conflict of interest in my creating a Wikipedia page since I never knew him personally and I'm only distantly related (through her marriage to me, and her mom's marriage to him). I can add a disclosure statement to the article if you think that's necessary. I'll await your advice. Ed Morykwas (talk) 13:49, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Even though you never personally met him, the fact that he still was your wife's stepfather is probably going to be seen as a conflict of interest by many if not most Wikipedia experienced editors. No disrespect is intended, but lots of people who are considered to have a COI say that they understand the situation and don't foresee it has being a problem; these people have the best intentions, but often find themselves having problems with others because their "conflict" makes it hard for them to adhere to relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. This, however, doesn't mean you can't try to create an article about him by continuing to improve the draft you started, but it does mean that neither you, your wife nor anyone else connected to her stepfather is going to have a real editorial control over such an article as explained in Wikipedia:Ownership of content; in other words, it will need to be an article written in neutral manner about her stepfather which reflects what independent and secondary reliable sources have said about him and not an article written for him or for his memory based upon your wife's or anyone else's person recollections of him. Since you say he was a comic book illustrator, you might want to ask about him at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics because that's where you're going to likely find editors who might know of him or his work. Perhaps they can help find the sources you will need to establish his Wikipedia notability and offer other suggestions on how to improve the draft.Finally, if it turns out for some reason or another that a Wikipedia article about her stepfather won't be accepted, you and your wife shouldn't see that as a personal slight against her stepfather or what he accomplished. There are lots of people who had great lives and done great things who are not written about on Wikipedia; moreover, there can actually be some drawbacks to being written about on Wikipedia (as explained here and here). These days there are lots of WP:ALTERNATIVEs to Wikipedia which in some ways are better than Wikipedia because they allow persons close to the subject matter more editorial control over content. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:23, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, Marchjuly (talk). I appreciate you taking so much time to explain the situation! I've edited the article one final time (adding citations) and resubmitted it, and we'll see what happens. Meanwhile, I'll pass along your message to my wife and her family. Ed Morykwas (talk) 16:04, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

September 2020[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Draft:Harry V.R. Anderson, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. As above, adding this for your info, and for the useful links it contains. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:40, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
