File permission problem with File:Damaged-city-flyer-2014.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Damaged-city-flyer-2014.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 in section F11 of the 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.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Bruce Falkinburg.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Bruce Falkinburg.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 09:03, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Bruce Falkinburg.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bruce Falkinburg.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:21, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see now you are claiming the image is your own work, but that seems at odds with the previous information summary "From Bruce's personal archives, used with permission.". You need to clear this up. -- Whpq (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Bruce Falkinburg. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Twice editors have pointed out to you that the person is not sufficiently notable to warrant his own article. See this edit summary by Onel5969, and mine. Please stop reverting. Drmies (talk) 04:18, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies What makes a person sufficiently notable? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bruce_Falkinburg Cheapcop (talk) 00:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969 Do you have an opinion on this question? Cheapcop (talk) 00:41, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Start with WP:ARTIST. WP:BAND is relevant as well: you have a person who is in a notable band, but is not by themselves notable. How do I know? You provided no reliable secondary sourcing that discusses the individual as an individual person outside of the band, for starters. In fact, there is no acceptable secondary sourcing for anything at all in that draft. Drmies (talk) 01:15, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I agree with Drmies. And of course, there's always WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bruce Falkinburg (April 19)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. If at least one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the draft talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. If the subject satisfies general notability, please also indicate on the draft talk page or in AFC comments when resubmitting. You may ask for advice about the musical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bruce Falkinburg and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Cheapcop! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 19:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 14[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Intervention episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alcohol. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
