Hi friend, you want to talk to me, tellCol Darul amanu (talk) 12:16, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Is it possible to change the title of a wikipedia entry? I put up a biographical entry and just used the full name but think I should put a former name in brackets beside it to help people doing a search under that name. Many thanks for help.

That's technically possible, but it's not a good idea. An article's title should be the subject's most common name if possible. Few people would search for "Jane Doe (born Roe)" or something like that. Rather, we should probably create a redirect from the other name so people looking for that name also end up in the right place. Huon (talk) 22:15, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About Diane Kingston[edit]

Hi, I've just discovered the article you created, very well done! I added categories, WikiProject templates and a few other necessary "bells and whistles". As she has published under the name Mulligan and several sources refer to her by that name, I have presumed that it is her maiden name - can you confirm it? A brief "Personal life" section (that usually comes at the end of biographies) would be useful for information such as marriage, current place of residence, etc. - basically any relevant information that is not directly related to her education or career.

By the way, if you are interested in disability-related topics please feel free to join WikiProject Disability. Thanks for the new article. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:03, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Diane Kingston.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Diane Kingston.jpg, which you've attributed to Philip Nash. 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 15:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

thanks Dianaa[edit]

I have followed your advice and have forwarded re-use consent from the photographer of the picture of Diane Kingston. I don't know how long these things tend to work their way though but I hope it is all sorted now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Unfortunately this image will be deleted in seven days, as the email received by the OTRS team was not sufficient to confirm permission. — Diannaa (talk) 00:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
