This is being posted on your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four ~~~~ or by pressing or in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or anothereditir's talkpage. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information.

Good Luck and happy editing! ```Buster Seven Talk 19:05, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:FishNet Security Headquarters.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:FishNet Security Headquarters.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:21, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As the photographer and owner of this image, I believe it would be best to change this to a free use image. Can you tell me how to accomplish this? securejcSecurejc (talk) 18:49, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for asking. Sure, if it's actually your own, and you are okay with it being freely licensed, then that's very easy. Just put the appropriate copyright tag on the image page at [1], for instance like this:

(That places it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, which is the same we also use for text content here on Wikipedia.) If you like, just let me know when you're done and I'll have a look and make sure the templates and stuff all work out correctly. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:39, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I've made some changes to make it CCA. Please review and edit as necessary. I also added a few categories that are relevant to this image.Securejc (talk) 21:32, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help review and edit the contribution for the Wiki entry of Gary Fish (his bio information)? Is there anything further I need to do to ensure that it's posted correctly? I do notice that it can't be found with the Wiki search tool, so perhaps I need to take additional steps to ensure it can be found. Thanks.Securejc (talk) 15:42, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Fish article didn't make any claims of importance other than his being the company's CEO, and a company of this size really isn't big enough that we automatically assume that its CEO qualifies for an article. Please note, however, that there's a simple way to resolve the issue: if you can find enough sources to prove his notability, I can restore the page, and it won't again be liable to speedy deletion. Nyttend (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. He's actually being featured as a "Newsmaker" in a featured section in a major metro business journal on Friday, Aug. 24, and will likely be heavily quoted in a major metro newspaper soon after that. I'll try to find more third-party references as well.Securejc (talk) 19:02, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

However, isolated news articles about contemporary people really aren't sufficient by themselves, because Wikipedia is not the newspaper — we can use newspapers as sources, but we really need media coverage over a sustained period of time or coverage in non-news sources, such as books or academic journals or (relatively stable) reliable websites. Can you find any of these for him? Nyttend (talk) 20:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can find many examples of company executives who have Wiki bio pages who are not in books nor academic journals, according to their sources listed. The Wiki "notability" guidelines even state third-party non-biased sources can serve as reputable proof of someone's noteworthiness. Gary Fish does have this in the way of numerous news articles and bio profile pages not attached to his company.Securejc (talk) 22:14, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some third-party, non-biased and reputable public sources of information about Gary Fish and his company, the largest information security solutions provider in North America. Some were posted very recently: FishNet Security goes international; see its new offices -- http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/blog/2012/08/fishnet-security-goes-international.html?ana=e_du_pub&s=article_du&ed=2012-08-16; Gary Fish profile on Crunchbase.com -- http://www.crunchbase.com/person/gary-fish; FishNet Security's new headquarters have(sic) the queen of the smartscreen -- http://www.kansascity.com/2012/08/23/3776415/fishnet-securitys-new-headquarters.html; Up Close: Gary Fish, CEO of FishNet Security Inc. -- http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/print-edition/2012/08/24/up-close-gary-fish-ceo-of-fishnet.html

I believe these and other sources show the impact that he is making in the information security industry and the reason why he should have his own Wiki bio page, as many of his equals in the industry already have. securejcSecurejc (talk) 15:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to make a request that Gary Fish's Wiki page be reinstated because of his notoriety in the fast-growing information security industry and because of the additional coverage and profile pieces written about him in major publications (albeit some are by subscription only) in recent months. Many executives who currently have their own Wikipedia pages do not meet the requirements of having been mentioned in books, so I believe it is unjust to require this of Mr. Fish in order for him to have own Wiki entry.Securejc (talk) 22:31, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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).
