License tagging for File:Kenneth two.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Kenneth two.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) 01:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sheila McNamee

A tag has been placed on Sheila McNamee 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 a person or group of people, 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 biographies.

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), 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.

Conflict of interest

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Smartse (talk) 21:01, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

"{{helpme}}"

I am a graduate student, and not with any of the people whose articles I have edited, nor with their institutes. Their work is part of my research topic (for another university on another continent). I was surprised at the lack of internet information about the topic and feel that as a theory that competes with the status quo in psychology, it is noteworthy. It is not new, it's roots began in the 1970's and 80's. Although the theory is taught in Europe and the UK, it is not consistently taught in the US.

I am also interested (doing research) in other poststructural therapeutic theories and intended to
edit or create pages for them, as well. As I said, they have been around for at least three decades, and yet little is in Wikipedia about them. 

I emailed (through their universities) some of the theorists and asked if they minded if I created or edited articles. Some agreed,some did not. I do not know them personally or professionally.  

I would very much appreciate help revising the pages. I have used similar articles as templates. Perhaps I chose poorly. If you could point out good examples of living theorists and the academic institutions that house critical theories, I'd be very grateful. Dialogical (talk) 02:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

First off, you must quickly add a rationale for not speedy deleting the articles you added the hangon tags to. Edit their talk pages and add why you believe they should not be deleted. Simply adding hangon is not sufficient. After that, you can get help editing the articles from relevant WP:Wikiprojects. Please avoid making any more edits that could be considered promotional.
