Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with James Allen (Artist - Brazil).

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Lordjeff06 (talk) 17:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Head by james allen p.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Head by james allen p.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 12:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To begin, you may want to read the material at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:Why was my article deleted?, both of which contain lots of relevant information. I looked at the deleted article to refresh my memory and noted that it had a complete lack of references. You can read the relevant Wikipedia policy by clicking on the word "references" in this paragraph. Essentially what would be required is a number of references to the writing of independent, arm's-length, third-party experts who assert the notability of Mr. Allen's work in a way that is verifiable. This means articles in books and magazines (among other sources) -- it doesn't mean statements from galleries that sell his work or from people who have a financial interest in his success, or from blogs, forums, etc. The statements in the article about the themes of Mr. Allen's work were not referenced -- they fall under the policy of WP:NPOV and must be either referenced (who said them? where did they write it? what expertise do they have for saying those things?) or removed. You will have also noted by now that the article had a number of copyright problems with the images that you uploaded; Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and cannot accept images that don't meet its copyright rules. I hope this explains the situation more thoroughly to you; if I can be of further assistance to help you understand Wikipedia policies, let me know.
