Welcome

Hello, Burningpetals, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Fences&Windows 22:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Richard Anthony Jay

I saw your post on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ding_Day and I was interested in your comment that "it is not the responsibility of ONE individual to produce evidence of notability but the responsibility of the individual proposing the deletion to support the reasons of why NOT the article does not meet current Wikipedia standards of notability for inclusion".

I seem to be running into a brickwall at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Richard_Anthony_Jay despite having demonstrated notability under several criteria, in many references. Can you point me to an entry that bears out your above statement ? Or alternatively, give me your opinion on my page and how I can satisfy Wikipedia:Notability_(music) if you believe I haven't already done it ? Burningpetals (talk) 22:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey Burningpetals first , let me welcome you to Wikipedia and start off by saying that any and all contributions are welcomed. Regarding your question "...what mandates the responsibility of the individual proposing the deletion to support the reasons of why NOT the article does not meet current Wikipedia standards of notability for inclusion." is addressed in BEFORE. This policy, as shown by the clicking on the blue link, requires the nominating editor to investigate if there are creditable - verifiable - reliable - 3rd party sources that validate the pieces inclusion in Wikipedia before nominating the article for deletion. Sorry to say, this overlooked many times. However, in this case the nominator did do a Good job. His responce is what I had a problem with.

With regards to the specific topic of Richard Anthony Jay, sorry to say, I would express a Delete opinon. In looking for creditable - verifiable - reliable - 3rd party sources that validate the pieces inclusion in Wikipedia, my first step is to look at Google News. If I do not find any references there, and depending on the subject, I look to Google Scholar and Google Book. Failing all thee search areas, my last resort, is plain old Google. However, it should be noted, that Blogs - Facebook - MySpace and other such sites are not and can not be considered as creditable - verifiable - reliable - 3rd party sources and are not considered for establishing notability.

Hope this answers your question, and if you have any more or just need some additional information, just drop me a line.

And once again, "Welcome Aboard" ShoesssS ^Talk 00:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Richardanthonyjay.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. 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. Hekerui (talk) 20:39, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
