Let Me Fall

edit

Hi @U003F, you are currently engaged in an edit war with me on the Let Me Fall page. Please do not revert back once you have been reverted; instead, the appropriate response is to discuss the matter. I have tried to find the image you insist can be found on Wikimedia, but alas, without luck. Please substantiate your claim that it is there, otherwise it must be removed from the article. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:09, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Revirvlkodlaku:, I reverted because I guessed you just hadn't cleared your cache. Here is the poster: File:Let Me Fall.jpg. I wonder why it doesn't appear on the page for you? U003F? 16:11, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
.. have you tried clicking the red-link you see? U003F? 16:15, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I see. The issue seems to be that while it's on Wikipedia, it hasn't been exported to Commons yet, which is where I searched for it. Would you mind doing that? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 17:13, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ah no it's not a free image, only a fair use one. That means that the poster can (in low resolution form) be used to illustrate the article. It can be stored on English Wikipedia, but not on commons. You can read more about it at WP:NFCI. U003F? 17:25, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, fair enough, thanks for explaining. What is meant by "critical commentary" in that context? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:40, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Not sure. I tend to be led by the relevant template, in this case Template:Non-free use rationale poster. In general, it seems that using a copyrighted-but-low-res poster/cover/portrait to illustrate (=critically comment on?) an article on a film/book/dead person, especially in an infobox, is considered a fair use of that image. Typical cases where you find those same images used unfairly is in articles not specifically about the subject (e.g. lists of films), or with people still alive.

License tagging for File:Running Out of Time logo-en.png

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Running Out of Time logo-en.png. 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) 09:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Running Out of Time logo-en.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Running Out of Time logo-en.png. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:40, 10 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello U003F! Your additions to Erie (film) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 01:23, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Letters to a Young Novelist

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 Letters to a Young Novelist requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/jun/14/100-greatest-non-fiction-books. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Tokyo Express (novel) moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to Tokyo Express (novel). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and those sources should be reliable and independent. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:39, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, U003F. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Millhead F.C.".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jimmy Watkins (runner), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Athletics.

Non-attributed translations

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from is:Anton_Sigurðsson to Anton Sigurðsson. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given here. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution must be given retroactively, for example:

NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.

Retroactive attribution may be added using a dummy edit; see Repairing insufficient attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks @Vanderwaalforces: Was the attribution I gave at the time not good enough? I did link to the original, albeit not in the standard format. U003F? 14:37, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
