— Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 16:26, 13 November 2018 (UTC)Question about copyrights of your uploads of the watercolour paintings by Thomas Worrall[edit]
Thomas Worrall died less than 70 years ago. According to British law: If the work was published during the author's lifetime then copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author. (This not only applies to authors but also to artists.) See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/United_Kingdom.
Could you please mention whether you are the copyrights holder of these paintings OR have permission of the copyrights holder(s) to publish them on Wikimedia Commons (also for commercial purposes) OR whether one of the exceptions does apply? Usually, the heirs of the artist are the copyrights holders.
My experience is that Wikimedia Commons is very strict in maintaining copyright rules. So your files might be deleted if you cannot prove the copyrights are OK. JopkeB (talk) 07:49, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello RSJ123,
First of all: thank you for your explanation to me. But perhaps you have seen that unfortunately it was not enough. There might still be a chance to keep these files in Wikimedia and Wikipedia when you send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with detailed information about your copyrights: how did you get them? Do you have a written transmission or consent of Worall himself or his heirs or any other proof? Then please send it to this email address. Mention in the mail that it is about Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Thomas Frederick Worrall. I wish you lots of success! I like the pictures and hope they may stay.

A page you started (William Worrall) has been reviewed![edit]
Thanks for creating William Worrall.
I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.
Please add and cite secondary sources, which are needed to establish a subject's notability and prevent original research. We generally don't include subjects or facts in Wikipedia merely because they exist (see WP:NOTEVERYTHING): as editors our job is to summarize existing, reliably sourced information on topics that have already received significant secondary coverage, and present various views in proportion to their prominence in the published literature per WP:NPOV. Cheers!
To reply, leave a comment here and ping me.

--Animalparty! (talk) 03:55, 5 December 2018 (UTC) Hello Animal Party.
Yes, I have been researching this person, but all I have put on the Wikipedia page is stuff that can be verified by other people, hence I have put the references, they are all things that can be found on the internet, other people can too. I hope this is ok.

I have just checked the "No Original Sources" page, and I can confirm that everything I have said about the person can be verified in the sources that I cite. For example, I have said he was a member of a group that put on plays- this can be verified in the source that I cite in a newspaper which mentions him being part of the group.
I think you comments were posted before I had entered information about William Worrall becoming well-known for his work on a memorial which is in a ppublic library. I have now posted that information with a reference to a newspaper article about it. This shows that Worrall was worthy of note in his local community. The public library still has his work displayed.
Many thanks for your advice and assistance.
Rachael
Managing a potential conflict of interest[edit]
Hello! It appears that this article is about you and your work here. Please see the guidelines on conflict of interest editing, and be advised that policies of no original research still apply. If you are related to the subjects you write about, it may affect your ability to write neutrally and proportionally. In short, Wikipedia is not the place to self-publish new or unverifiable information, whether from academics or lay people alike. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a journal, and while academic writing is heavily based on using primary sources to make novel analyses, inferences, and opinions, Wikipedia writing is explicitly not. See the essays Wikipedia:Expert editors and Wikipedia:Wikipedia editing for research scientists for more info on how experts can best contribute and avoid pitfalls. If article subjects lack significant coverage by reliable third party sources (see the Golden rule), they may be deleted or merged into other articles. Cheers, --Animalparty!

Thomas Frederick Worrall[edit]
I have removed several of mentions of Thomas Frederick Worrall that you have added to other articles because they were excessive and insufficiently noteworthy to mention these articles. We do not mention everyone who has ever painted a picture of a place, even for major artists such as J. M. W. Turner. Many of these contributions could be considered to be promotional (see WP:PROMOTION), particularly as it appears that you have a conflict of interest. Verbcatcher (talk) 19:35, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
