Speedy deletion nomination of Pamela Ronald

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 Pamela Ronald requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Pamela Ronald and Raoul Adamchak on Raoul's certified organic farm.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Pamela Ronald and Raoul Adamchak on Raoul's certified organic farm.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 17:55, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply


I have followed the instructions and added the necessary tags. Please advise soon on whether this is OK. Arsalan daudi (talk) 18:44, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I see that you've now uploaded a copy to Commons with a free license and forwarded details to OTRS - that's the right route with this photo. I should note however, that the e-mail you include only talks about purchasing a copy of the photo itself; purchasing the copyright is something separate. As such, you'll likely need Pico van Houtryve to confirm the free license and/or copyright transfer as well. But that's up to the OTRS volunteer handling the ticket to resolve. --dave pape (talk) 03:40, 31 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Dave for clarifying. I have an additional email from Pico that I will just forward to the OTRS team confirming the free license Arsalan daudi (talk) 16:57, 31 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
