Your picture of Winslow Anderson[edit]

Hi, I see you uploaded File:Portrait of Winslow George Anderson.jpg with the note "Evidence: Will be provided on request.". This is not sufficient, and you will need to release the file using the following: evidence logger- however the important thing is the photographer will need to do this, or a representative of the photographer, regardless of the fact it is in a museum (unless the museum owns the rights to the photograph). You may find that it is easier to non-free it instead, as that is allowed for pictures of deceased people where there are no available free images. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Portrait of Winslow George Anderson.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of Winslow George Anderson.jpg, which you've attributed to Huntington Museum of Art, Huntington, WV. 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:39, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please read: Why your photograph was deleted.[edit]

Right, you seem to have ignored my previous message.

There are two ways in which the photo of Winslow Anderson can be kept on Wikipedia:

1. You keep it as a non-free file. However, you'll need to fill in the sections entitled "Not replaceable with free media because...", "Respect for commercial opportunities" and fill in a fair use rationale (see here for examples).

2. You upload the file to Wikimedia Commons, and fill in this form. Given that you're willing to release under a free license, this is probably the best way. You can then delete the current file as unnecessary.

Either way, you'll need to do something about it, or the file will be deleted. If you need any help, drop me a message or reply below. Best wishes, jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks fro the info. I uploaded as you suggested to the commons, but I am unsure how to delete the duplicate. User: Gkwfleming1974

Thanks. I've put the old file up for deletion, and it should be deleted in a week's time and switch over to the image on Commons. Have you filled out the form I linked to? jcc (tea and biscuits) 20:01, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article Winslow Anderson[edit]

Thank you for your recent edit on the article Winslow Anderson. When outing an individual on Wikipedia, it is extremely important to add sources and citations which can be verified by the reader and other editors. I have moved your text into the section Personal life, as well as cleaning up the article according to the style guide. We must make every effort when stating an individual's sexual preference, even if no longer living, is what the individual had stated at the time of their life. If they weren't out while they were alive, then sexual preference must be framed differently. If you could find some verifiable sources and add some citations to the section, I would greatly appreciate you doing so. Cheers Gmcbjames (talk) 18:05, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
