MP Official Photo

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Regarding your enquiry on my talk page, I reverted your recent good faith edits to Peter Bottomley to the previous version with his official parliamentary portrait. His portrait can be found in the Category:Official United Kingdom Parliamentary photographs 2017 at Wikimedia Commons, which can be seen here. All official photos of British MPs in Wikipedia articles that I have seen are from this category. If you think there is a good reason to add your image to Peter Bottomley's article, you can do it with the correct format by simply adding the name of the image file followed immediately by ".jpg" (or .svg, .jpeg etc., depending of the image format), such as "Sir Peter Bottomley MP.jpg" (not "[[File:Sir Peter Bottomley MP.jpg|thumb|Portrait of Sir Peter Bottomley MP]]" — thumbnails are for images outside the infobox only). But before doing that, please crop out the blank grey section at the bottom of your image, then re-upload your image by clicking on Upload a new version of this file under the File history section here. Thanks! JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 15:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello D.j.atherton, sorry that this is such a bureacratic minefield, but do note that you should not be uploading such an image to Commons describing it as "Own work" if you do not own the copyright to the image -- for example if you clicked the photograph yourself with your own camera. The image information for the photo that you have uploaded says that it is copyright to "https://www.nk-photography.co.uk/", and therefore that organization would need to release the image under a Wikimedia-compatible license. Or, if the MP's office or party has actually purchased all rights to the photo, the office or party would need to do so. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates is the place to do so. Separately, Wikipedia does not really pay much heed to whether something is "his office's official portrait", although equally one might hope that no-one here would be unduly awkward about it either. @JackintheBox: for info.

Hi Both! Thanks for your kind help! I've hopefully followed both of your instructions correctly. The new file is uploaded to Wikicommons. Our office has all rights for the photo so that is all in order hopefully. My only concern is that having uploaded the photo to the page, the formatting seems to have gone slightly ajar. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Peter_Bottomley

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:26, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello Dannaa!

I'm very grateful for you sharing this and taking the necessary precautions - it is indeed my first time making an article from scratch and as you can tell, I overlooked these necessary provisions.

I have removed the copyright violations whilst hopefully maintaining a satisfactory level of detail for the article. Please see Talk:John Deane (sailor)/Temp.

I would be grateful for your feedback on this and your help in double checking that it is alright to be uploaded. I will also do as you suggest and leave a note on the original page.

Many thanks! --D.J.A (talk) 22:52, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I've checked your proposed new version. Thanks for your work so far. But there is still a ways to go. Please have a look at this comparison to see which parts still need work. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:38, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello again Diannaa, once again, you are a god-send! That link is very helpful in highlighting what needs to be cut. The only concern is that it also highlights references which, done in Harvard style, will continue to match that source as they both reference the same material - any idea if there's a way to rectify that?

I've taken out what was highlighted if you might be so kind as to have another look over it: Talk:John Deane (sailor)/Temp.

Many thanks! --D.J.A (talk) 13:56, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

There's always going to be a certain amount of overlap due to job titles, book titles, names of institutions, etc; but those things don't need to be re-worded. I am accepting the latest version and will import into the article now. Thanks for your work on this. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:09, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Fantastic to hear! I've, as we speak, made two more small edits to the talk page that you have likely also picked up on. Thank you very much for your help! --D.J.A (talk) 14:12, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Please stay off the article for a bit while I format the citations! Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:56, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Will do! I'll sign off for the foreseeable future. Thanks once again, --D.J.A (talk) 14:57, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

All tidied up! Duplicate citations have been combined; the Harvard citation format creates links form each citation to an item in the bibliography. If you want to learn more about how to elegantly format your citations, please see the help pages Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1 and/or Help:Shortened footnotes. Cheers, and happy editing, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:04, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help, it looks fantastic now! I will certainly use your example for any future articles I touch - and will definitely have an in-depth read of that introduction. Thanks! D.J.A (talk) 16:18, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Caroline Henry moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Caroline Henry, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep^Talk 19:42, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
