Speedy deletion nomination of Jessica Michelle Thomas[edit]

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 Jessica Michelle Thomas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mephistophelian † 01:30, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at Jessica Michelle Thomas[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Jessica Michelle Thomas, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 01:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Jessica Michelle Thomas. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 01:37, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rob Magness[edit]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Rob Magness requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject, contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and give your reasons on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. 99.184.133.201 (talk) 02:10, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at Jessica Michelle Thomas[edit]

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Jessica Michelle Thomas. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 02:21, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Sarah Magness[edit]

The article Sarah Magness has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

License tagging for File:Huffington Malouf.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Huffington Malouf.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:05, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Alan R. Malouf, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Alan Malouf.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Alan Malouf.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 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. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 23:20, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You may have took the image (we cannot tell), but it was on the internet before being uploaded here (http://sfluxe.com/2008/11/08/look-of-the-day-marcy-carmack-and-alan-malouf/) - therefore we cannot take it without permission from the original web site. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you can get permission then WP:DCM and WP:CONSENT are the pages you need. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:05, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Alan Malouf Red Carpet.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Alan Malouf Red Carpet.jpg, which you've sourced to Drew Altizer Photography. 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.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. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:James Maslow, Sam Zachrich Photography, July 2014.jpg[edit]

I've removed File:James Maslow, Sam Zachrich Photography, July 2014.jpg from the James Maslow article because it is a non-free image. Even if an image is licensed for use on Wikipedia, it can't be used on derivative works, so that means it's subject to the same limitations of any other fair-use image. The guidelines for biographies of living people are very clear that non-free images should not be used to illustrate the subject.

If a low-resolution version of the image were made available under a free license, that could be used in the infobox (and in all derivative works of Wikipedia). —C.Fred (talk) 20:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new to uploading images on Wikipedia. C.Fred could you help me change the main image on James Maslow's Wiki page? The current one is 4 years old and needs to be updated to reflect his appearance at present. Thank you! (talk) 20:22, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to find a free picture that's more recent. —C.Fred (talk) 20:24, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If I own the license to this photo (from the photographer), is there a way to upload it on wiki?

Let me make sure I understand this:

The photographer has given (assigned, sold, etc.) you the license for the image.
You are willing to relicense it under a free license such as CC-BY-SA 3.0 (Creative Commons sharealike with attribution).

If you answer both of those yes, it is possible to upload the image to Wiki. If the answer to either question is no, then you may not upload it, because we may not use it. —C.Fred (talk) 20:28, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And just to be clear, you will have to verify that you have the license that you claim to have for the image. You cannot upload the image under a license it doesn't have (as you appear to have done on Wikimedia Commons with a magazine cover). —C.Fred (talk) 20:45, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:James Maslow, Sam Zachrich Photography, July 2014.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:James Maslow, Sam Zachrich Photography, July 2014.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:23, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:James Maslow, Sam Zachrich Photography, July 2014.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:James Maslow, Sam Zachrich Photography, July 2014.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paris-Michael K.
