March 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Scott Bradlee  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:58, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jeffrey Marsh (March 27)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
 The comment they left was:
Still questionable for WP:ENTERTAINER and will need any further available amount of in-depth third-party news sources overall to have solid notability.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

PMJ Logo upload[edit]

Writer1977, I have a couple of concerns about the logo you've uploaded. (File:Scott_Bradlee's_Postmodern_Jukebox_logo_(2016).png) For starters you are representing that the logo is your own work and you are licensing the copy to CC-BY-SA. With this statement you are holding yourself out as the copyright owner. This can get complicated on the Wikipedia, these are generally uploaded under Fair Use, on the Wikipedia, rather than on the Commons. Second, I'm not seeing where this logo is in use. Wikimedia is very serious about copyright, if a reviewer encounters content with problematic releases, the standard protocol is to delete.

I'm going to revert to the logo taken from the web-page that I previously uploaded until we have ironed this out. My version is properly uploaded and will be deleted if it is not connected to the article. Do you work for PMJ in some capacity? 009o9 (talk) 00:00, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User009o0 -- first of all, thanks for your help in guiding me through this. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia editing and I'm trying to do my best to read everything and learn all correct policies. You've been doing some great work to make the PMJ page much stronger, which is awesome. I decided to practice my Wiki skills by creating the PMJ page (as a breakout page from Scott Bradlee's page), when I noticed that all the PMJ info had been bunched together under his personal page. Yes, you're 100% correct... this logo should've been uploaded via Fair Use. I've been perusing Wiki's help pages to try to figure out how to check that option and I still can't quite figure it out. Do you have a moment to guide me through how to upload a photo via Fair Use on Wiki? (or, how I can change the existing upload to indicate Fair Use?... I'm also fine with just deleting it). I would love to learn this skill, in order to get better. In terms of your second question, it seems that PMJ has been using this logo everywhere lately, including at the start of almost every new video that they post each week. It's on their website, here: (http://postmodernjukebox.com/post/craigslist/) and I found the copy that I used, here: (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/scott-bradlees-postmodern-jukebox-mn0003405394/songs) just through Google Image Search ... personally, I like the art deco look to it, which is why I uploaded it. I suppose it doesn't matter too much which one is used - it was just a matter of preference. And yes, the logo you used is the one at the top of their website. Lastly, I do not work for PMJ... I only recently discovered them and was interested in learning more about them which is how I found Scott's page. Do you have any connection?

Writer1977 (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Writer1977. To use a logo under Fair Use, it has to be the identifying image for the subject, it looks to me like the image on AllMusic is an old one. Additionally, the WikiCommons won't accept any copyright restricted images, Fair Use images have to be uploaded to Wikipedia instead, require an explanation and will undergo scrutiny.
I fixed up the American Idol section, I had noticed that the Bradlee quote from Yahoo! Music had already been chopped up. Additionally, we need to have references for the facts that we add to the article. The problem is that we don't want to have an ugly maintenance banner added to the top of the article, so if we don't have an independent reference, it's usually best to make a note on the talk page and wait for referencing to come about. (Opps, I just realized, those are not your edits.)
I'm not connected with the band, however I do write professionally. If (and or) when I become closely affiliated, I will state the relationship on the article's talk page.
My pleasure to work with you on this, we should discuss article on its talk page. I am aware of other interested editors. 009o9 (talk) 07:53, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. When referencing, be sure to get the article's date and the author, Internet references have a habit of disappearing in a short amount of time. I also like creating Archive URLs using the Wayback Machine and provide them in the citation when possible.009o9 (talk) 08:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Jeffrey-Marsh-how-to-be-you.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Jeffrey-Marsh-how-to-be-you.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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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. Majora (talk) 21:37, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Silver Lining.jpeg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Silver Lining.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

File:OOTB500.png[edit]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of File:Maggie-Koerner.jpg[edit]

The page File:Maggie-Koerner.jpg has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appeared to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

May 2021[edit]

Information icon Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Travon Free. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 03:05, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The source didnt observe that the works were "similar".—Bagumba (talk) 03:07, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi Writer1977! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Travon Free that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 03:08, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
