Are you really Marty O'Brien? If so, that's pretty cool that I'm talking to a musician that toured with one of my favorite bands, Disturbed. I also expanded your article a while back. If this is not Marty O'Brien, I suggest you choose a different username. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 22:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

_____ Yes, this is really me. I'm just trying to keep this page up to date with all the correct info & discography. Thanks for expanding my article in the past.. I'm getting a warning saying that my photo I've uploaded is missing copyright info. I've tried uploading the same photo to a Wikimedia Commons page, (whatever that means), but I can't figure out how to get it up there. I apparently also need to "cite" some websites where this info comes from? As you can see, I don't really know what I'm doing here. Still trying to learn. Any tips on those two problems would be greatly appreciated. (MartyOBrien (talk) 13:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Ah, yes licensing can be confusing. The easiest way to upload to the commons is make an account there and go to [1] There you will be able to upload your picture. If the picture was already published elsewhere (such as on your website), you will have to email permission to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

Citing sources is important, especially for BLPs. The sources found have to be reliable as outlined by WP:RS. Also, you may want to look at WP:SELFPUB. When I added info, I used interviews (such as the one on talkbass) and articles on blabbermouth.net. You could probably use [2] as well. For the technical part, after the statement that you want to cite put <ref>{{cite web |url= |title= |date= |last= |first= |accessdate= |publisher= }}</ref>. When parsed it will show up as ^[1]. At the bottom of the article, under references, it will show up as:

^ D'Angelo, Joe (12 January 2001). "Disturbed Bassist Won't Make European Trek Due To Injury". MTV. Retrieved 13 December 2009.

If you don't know something in the cite web template (such as the last/first name of the person who wrote an article), leave it blank. If you need any further help, just ask here! TheWeakWilled (T * G) 18:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
