Speedy deletion of Jacquelyn Ottman

A tag has been placed on Jacquelyn Ottman 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Tombomp (talk) 18:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

{helpme} I do not understand why my entry is not considered notable or why it is being misunderstood as an advertisement. The entry is about a woman who has written a significant book! How can i rewrite this to make it comply to the rules? Green31569Green31569 (talk) 19:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I have updated the page with third party references. How do I now get rid of the tags on the article?141.155.20.147 (talk) 18:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. You can simply remove the tag at the top of the page which will be enclosed in {{these brackets}} at the top of a page. In this case, the tag will look like this at the top of the page:

• {{Unreferenced|date=June 2008}}

Just remove that line from the article, and you won't have that problem tag in the article anymore. --Jamie^☆S93 19:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:JacquelynOttman092810.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:JacquelynOttman092810.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) 17:05, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:JO092810withcopyright.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:JO092810withcopyright.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. Killiondude (talk) 20:04, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I have added a copy right to the image we want to use (you can delete the other ones). Did I solve the issue? I don't want this article to be removed! (Green31569 (talk))

• Hi, I'm afraid that merely asserting that permission has been granted is not sufficient. What you will need to do is follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating_copyrighted_materials#Donating_your_photographs -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 12:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Jacquelyn Ottman for deletion

• I have nominated the article for deletion, as I do not believe that she meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion linked to, and to provide reasons why you feel that she does meet the criteria! In the nomination itself, I have included some useful links to the guidelines about notability which you might want to address. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 13:08, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
  • ...and I have spent half an hour helping to rescue it. If you've got time it would really help to add some more about her career etc? Thruxton (talk) 22:21, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:JOcreativecommons.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:JOcreativecommons.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 16:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:JO Orig Retouched Cropped 300dpi 0902810.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:JO Orig Retouched Cropped 300dpi 0902810.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 16:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 16:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Images

File:Exquisite-folder pictures.png

Hi Green31569, you can find many images available to use on Wikipedia already uploaded by other contributors on Wikimedia Commons. The best way of uploading your own image or video is to go to Commons:Upload and follow the instructions. Uploaded files must be public domain or creative commons with attribution, see the upload page for links to detailed explanations of what these terms mean. Once uploaded to Commons, images can be shown in Wikipedia and any of the sister projects in the normal way (see Wikipedia:Picture tutorial).

Additional points to note...

Logging in - you have to have an account on Commons, this may have already been created under the same name and password as your Wikipedia account, see Special:MergeAccount. Copyright - if the copyright of the photo is owned by someone else and there is no existing free license to reference (for example on their website), then you need to follow the Commons:OTRS process and confidentially supply an email from the copyright holder. If you think your photo is public domain but want to check the rules that apply then see WP:RFCA and List of countries' copyright length. Email a photo - see Wikipedia:Contact us/Photo submission. You should note that there may be a long backlog and your email may take days or weeks before getting processed. If you seem technically able, you may get a polite request to do it yourself as this is a low priority for the OTRS volunteers. EXIF data - image data may be automatically added by the camera or by your photo processing applications. This will be visible after upload so make sure you are happy that the make of camera, when/where it was taken etc. will be consistent with your upload information. Image verification - the photo can be checked using TinEye after upload, so if it appears on websites which claim 'All rights reserved' or similar then it may get marked for deletion.

A simple standard guide is at Help:Files. If you need more help on getting a suitable photo in the first place, you may find Finding images tutorial helpful. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 16:46, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

In order to have any of the photographs you have uploaded verified as your copyright, please email as per the instructions at Declaration of consent for all enquiries. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 16:51, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:JO092810withcopyright.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:JO092810withcopyright.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.
