Speedy deletion nomination of The Outies
editA tag has been placed on The Outies 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 an organization or company, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ʄlame 22:22, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Selisse Berry, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://outandequal.org/appearance-info.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 23:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- The bottom of the page in question says the text is "©2010 Out and Equal Workplace Advocates". If Out and Equal want to donate the text to Wikipedia—and for free use by anyone, anywhere, including commercial reuse, they will need to explicitly state that Berry's bio is licensed under Creative Commons and GFDL licenses. —C.Fred (talk) 23:45, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Copyright problem: Selisse Berry
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Selisse Berry, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://outandequal.org/appearance-info, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Selisse Berry and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Selisse Berry, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Selisse Berry with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Selisse Berry. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Selisse Berry saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Speedy deletion nomination of Selisse Berry
editYou 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 Selisse Berry 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 that subject 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 think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
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 providing your reasons for contesting 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.
You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Hairhorn (talk) 01:31, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Re:Deletion of my page: "Selisse Berry"
editI redirect the page to the organization which she founded, where it would be entirely appropriate to have a sentence or two on its founder, since she is most certainly notable in the context of her organization. Outside of her organisation though, she doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographical articles (WP:BIO). --Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:45, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:2006OutiesKateClinton.JPG
editThanks for uploading File:2006OutiesKateClinton.JPG. 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-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 in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --ARTEST4ECHO talk 18:42, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Outies
editThis help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
I have revisited The Outies over and over again in an attempt to wikify the page, but the flags remain on the page consistently. I understand the need for relevant internal links, but I have many internal links on my page--what makes them irrelevant?
I am also struggeling with the contents box: how do I place that box BELOW the initial introduction on the page. I was somehow able to achieve this on Out & Equal but do not know how to replicate this.
Thanks for your help! I'm still learning... Ajkeating (talk) 21:59, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- If you feel that there are sufficient wikilinks in the article, you can simply remove the wikify tag yourself; it's not an automatic tag, it was placed there because a user felt that more wikilinks were required, and it can be removed once these links have been added. As for the introductory section,
I've removed its headingChzz got there first, which wasn't necessary as the lead section should not be in a subsection, and it will now appear above the table of contents box. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page or use another helpme template. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 22:12, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- The table of contents was in the wrong place because there was a == Section heading == at the top; you don't need a heading for the lede, an article should just start with the name in bold, but no heading. The page title itself forms the 'heading'.
- You should use === Level three headings === for awards and so on, instead of bold.
- You can't put a <ref> into a section heading; that causes problems.
- There are various other formatting problems; I will try to look at them ASAP, or other people might. Look at the 'history' to see what gets changed, to get ideas. Cheers, Chzz ► 22:19, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks both GiftigerWunsch and Chzz . It's already looking better. I will revisit The Outies and add in references where necessary. I hesitated to delete the tags myself because I had already deleted them before but they had been replaced.
- Thanks again! Ajkeating (talk) 22:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Ajkeating, we really need to sort out this file permission stuff. Re. File:Outie award.jpg - are you really the copyright holder of the picture? Because it also appears on the Outie website, so we need some proof that the copyright holder really does release it into public domain (or another appropriate licence). You could achieve that if you could send an email from an address at outandequal.org - you could use the texts in WP:CONSENT, and send it to [email protected].
We absolutely need that though; we have to be careful not to use copyrighted pictures without explicit proof of permission. So, please get that sorted out, thanks. Chzz ► 23:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Chzz-I have copyright permissions for that photo. I just sent an email from the marketing department. I don't understand why I needed to give permissions at the upload level AND via email--but I am not stealing any photos. Thanks Ajkeating (talk) 23:45, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
License tagging for File:Out & Equal Logo copy.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Out & Equal Logo copy.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) 20:08, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Notification of automated file description generation
editYour upload of File:Attendees.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 12:30, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
The file File:Out & Equal Logo copy.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Willy1018 (talk) 04:44, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
