File permission problem with File:StressRelief.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:StressRelief.jpg, which you've sourced to This is a screen capture from the US TV series "The Office". It is copyright and clearly not suitable for an FU claim given its usage on WP is unrelated to the TV series. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 in|article name}} 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. QU TalkQu 09:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

request for sources

[edit]

A Wikipedia article differs from an essay. An essay is presentation of a subject , to express a view on a subject, from a relatively personal viewpoint. It will sometime draw on sources, but will emphasize the creative synthesis and original composition of the author. A Wikipedia article is based entirely on sources, contains no synthesis -- beyond the necessary selection of material for editing -- and presents the subject in a formal style, a style that is not characteristic of the writer and would not be confused with the view any one individual takes. An essay usually has an attempt at an original title -- a Wikipedia article has a title used commonly in published material to describe the subject. From everything I can see, your contribution here is an essay. I have been unable to find any use of this phrase on the net, or on worldcat, or google books or scholar. It's a reasonable title for an essay, being parallel with the titles of many books and essay on "relaxation through " It is not a reasonable title or indeed topic for an encyclopedia, representing The references given do not support the specific wording, or the specific content of the article. It was illustrated by an image from a well-known copyright source, representing people relaxing in a rather dramatic fashion on the floor of an office--but not, I think, relaxing to poetry in particular. Unless you have more specific sources , I do not think it is supportable as a Wikipedia article. (I was asked whether it is perhaps promotional of a book or recording or something of the sort, or of a company providing these services, but I cannot find anything of that title).

The nearest current article is Bibliotherapy . The nearest reasonable topic would appear to be Poetry therapy--we have no article there, so I just made Poetry therapy a redirect to bibliotherapy . Perhaps it might be better to develop an article there. There seem to be at tleast 2 or 3 professional organizations in the subject area, a certifying agency for specialists, and a journal of that very title.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Relaxation Through Poetry requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
