Tips for new article creation

Hi, I noticed that you're planning to start a new article on a food blog. It's a little tricky creating an article for the first time, I hope the links above and your course leader will give you some helpful tips. I recently created an article on an individual best known for his website, Tim Mayhew, which you could look at as an idea of what a good start looks like. The most important thing will be establishing notability of the subject, which you will do with independent, reliable sources that have written about the blog. Here are proably a couple of good examples:

• http://metronews.ca/news/london/1146128/vegfest-puts-down-roots-as-londons-newest-festival/
• http://lethbridgeherald.com/news/local-news/2014/09/04/dont-be-afraid-to-dream-lethbridge-college-students-told/

There's no magic number for how many sources it takes to make an article bulletproof against article deletion, but three's a good number to shoot for when you post the first draft.

Feel free to contact me on my talk page with questions. — Brianhe (talk) 18:29, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Copyright violation on Commons image

I tagged the Commons image File:Hotforfoodblog1.jpg for deletion as copyright violation. If you took it from http://www.hotforfoodblog.com/about-us/ you will need to delete it from Commons. If you didn't, and the file is your own work as you said when you uploaded it, then you will need to explain how your image happens to be there.

Please don't upload copyrighted images or insert copyrighted textual material, it is a serious violation on Wikipedia. — Brianhe (talk) 22:57, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Ditto for File:Hotforfoodmask.jpg. All uploads of content from the Hot for Food blog or elsewhere should be removed, unless they are actually your work. — Brianhe (talk) 23:07, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpful comments, I'm a student who is learning about posting to Wikipedia. My professor is user:Jaobar feel free to contact with with any further questions. I've been in touch with Lauren Toyota and John Diemer, the creators and owners of hot for food blog and have copyright clearance for the images used. I will provide evidence of copyright clearance by adding this information to the images in the commons in a few minutes. Please let me know if you have any concerns. --DeannaLFoster (talk) 21:15, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Greetings. I would like to echo my thanks for your helpful comments. User:DeannaLFoster is now in the process of providing the appropriate copyright information. I have seen the email with the copyright clearance, and it appears to be valid. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Best, --Jaobar (talk) 21:28, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

It is not sufficient to have permission yourself, or to add the permission yourself to another's images. They (the owner of the copyright) will have to contact the copyright resolution team. Instructions can be found at WP:CONSENT. Otherwise the upload will be automatically deleted. Brianhe (talk) 23:42, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to let you know that the permission for many of these has been received, and they have been restored. There are still some for which permission has not been granted (the red links on this page); if you wish, you can ask the owner to send another message granting permission for those.

Dear 1989, User:DeannaLFoster was a student in my class and created the article you just deleted in that class. She mistakenly requested, I assume that the article be considered for review before being moved to the mainspace. If I recall, she did a fairly good job on the article and I thought it was in the mainspace. I am now trying to find the content, but both the article and her sandbox are now deleted. Why the latter took place last summer is curious. Can you please give me access to the deleted version of the article? I'd like to review it one more time, and if need be, move it to the mainspace. She spent a lot of time contacting people at the blog to get copyright clearance for images, etc. I'd hate to see her work erased due to what appears to be an error. Please let me know how best to proceed. Sincerely, Jaobar (talk) 19:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
