License tagging for Image:Mani_color.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Mani_color.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) 04:23, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Image tagging for File:Andy Hill 2011.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Andy Hill 2011.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

File permission problem with File:Andy Hill.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Andy Hill.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
File Upoads
editHi,
I have been reviewing your file uploads, specifically your claims to be the original copyright holder of the following pictures :
Would you mind clarifying that and how you came to hold the copyright ? Did you for example take the pictures yourself ? Were you asked by someone else to take them ? Other than uploading them here, have you distributed them to anyone else ? Mtking (edits) 11:13, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your e-mail, I think the best thing you can do is to provide WP:ORTS verification that in each case you are the illegitimate copyright owner or that you have the consent from the owner to licence the images for free use worldwide. If you have any questions about this, the person to ask is User Talk:Moonriddengirl who I will alert to this matter. Mtking (edits) 08:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- I'll just proactively add that getting the copyright holders to fill out Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries is usually the best approach, as it saves a lot of the back-and-forth we run into with permissions. Do, please, stop by if I can help. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:18, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for our note. What's needed here is not for you to add tags to the article, but to send email verification to the Wikimedia Foundation that you have permission to license these images for reuse. Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries has the address to which the permission should be sent, and it also includes a letter that you can ask the copyright holders to fill out. Once the permission letters have been received, if they are legally usable, the volunteers who respond to emails for the Foundation will add tags to the articles. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, but that statement needs to be mailed to the Wikimedia Foundation, not placed on my talk page, and it needs to be mailed by the copyright holders who have given you permission. (As I understand it, you are not the copyright holder? Mtking says you told him you had consent.) The address that you should mail the permission to is at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. Please ask the copyright holders to mail in that permission. Thanks. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:56, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Andy Hill--Music Supervisor.jpg
editA tag has been placed on File:Andy Hill--Music Supervisor.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
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 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.

Block Notice
edit{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Mike V • Talk 17:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)Re: Block Notice
editHi Mike and all concerned.
Ghostrider51 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I believe that my repeated (and entirely transparent) efforts to communicate with Wikipedia's editors regarding the various problems cited in my articles are evidence of my sincere intentions. I've made no effort to deceive or disrupt. My use of a secondary account (Derwydd23) wasn't "sock puppetry" (I didn't know what that meant until I consulted your entry), but an attempt at a "workaround" to what I perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a hostile editor. I am sixty years old and there isn't world enough or time for me to engage in internet deception. I'll confess that a few years ago, I viewed Wikipedia as a questionable source of accurate information at best, and found the very notion of a wiki suspect. That was the genesis, by the way, of the Philby Greenstreet article. I bet a college professor friend that I could create an article about an entirely imaginary person which, if properly formatted and referenced, would not be sniffed out. The article survived for five years. But clearly, things have changed, and I am impressed. That tells me that real people of discernment and erudition, as opposed to bots, are minding the store, and I will use Wikipedia as a research tool with more confidence as a consequence. Frankly, I think you need guys like me making "useful contributions" and not sitting on the bench. Please consider my request to unblock. Thanks. Ghostrider51 Ghostrider51 (talk) 03:17, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I'd be prepared to consider an unblock if you were to agree to not use sockpuppets again, and not create hoax articles. PhilKnight (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
to PhilKnight re: Block Notice
editHi, Phil. I can't access your Talk page, but hopefully I can reach you from mine. I very much appreciate the reconsideration, and am certainly agreeable to the terms of reinstatement. As mentioned, the Philby Greenstreet article was created six years ago. Different times, different mindset, and there'd be no reason to repeat the experiment. As for sock puppetry (now that I know what it is!), I'd never want to wear that sign around my neck again. Looking forward to making a contribution. Ghostrider51 (talk) 03:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for January 20
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A.W. Hill, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Walt Disney Studios. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:01, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
To: DPL Re: Recent edits to A.W. Hill
editThank you. I believe I have addressed Wikipedia's major concerns re: citations and verifications. If so, would it be possible to remove the box tags at the top of the page? And thanks for the heads up on the Disney link. I will correct that. It should have gone to The Walt Disney Studios (division). Ghostrider51 (talk) 02:26, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Andy Hill page move
editHi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Andy Hill (film music supervisor) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Andy Hill (American music producer). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. VeryCrocker (talk) 07:15, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Re: Andy Hill page move
edit{Talkback|VeryCrocker} Thank you, VeryCrocker. Yes, I was just trying to comply with the renaming guidance on the discussion page. I'll figure out how to use the Move feature and do it properly. Ghostrider51 (talk)
The article Johnny Klimek has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Wgolf (talk) 19:42, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
