Image:VictoriaLePagecropped.jpg

Hi. I noticed while going through images tagged for deletion that you stated that you are the author of Image:VictoriaLePagecropped.jpg. Did you actually take this photograph yourself or did you crop a photo taken by someone else? Please understand that the creator of a work controls all rights to make derivatives of it, so we would not be able to use this photo if it is just a modification of someone else's work.

If you did take the photograph yourself, please indicate that on the image description page. (If you are the webmaster of the site where this image came from, just say so - that would help clear things up.)

If you did not take it, we need to ask the copyright holder for permission before we can use it. Wikipedia only accepts images that are released under a free license, meaning, one that explicitly allows anyone to use it for any reason, including commercial works. Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for information on asking for permission. --BigDT 14:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

le page 'notability'

hi, have replaced delete with request to establish notability. the link on that explains what you need to do. gist of it is 'multiple independent references', so not her website, & i'm not sure about the 2 others. ideally references frm more 'mainstream' media wld be good. editors tend to take a dim view of this sort of thing, so you'll need to make it as 'bullet-proof' as you possibly can. good luck :) ben  ⇒ bsnowball  12:17, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Significance

Thank you all for your comments and instructions. I've confirmed that I've taken the image and that it is in public domain. As for 'multiple independent references', I can only provide links to commentaries and reviews which are freely available on the net under "Shambhala" and so on, often in many other languages. I have asked her if she knows of another biography as such and she could only quote me references to her works that other authors in the same genre have cited. The 2 external references that I've included, one is print media with a net presence and the other (I think) is not. She also has 2 publishers. Quest books and Inner Traditions, both specializing in esoteric works.

What eludes me, is 'significance'. When is a published and recognised author not significant? Perhaps there is a section in Wikipedia that would be more suitable that Biography? I'll have a look but I think I may need guidance on this. I've taken the steps of adding some of her (secretive) life story in Wikipedia, as she qualifies by writing original works on topics of interest. I'm NOT a fan, but a trained historian, and I (and others) find her works thought provoking, well researched and obviously of interest to others. Htcs 02:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hungarian turanism is a pseudo-science

DNA tests did not support the eastern origin of present-day Hungarians. Hungarian Turanism is not supported by academic historians of the world. All Encyclopedias, like English Britannica German Brockhaus French Larousse , E. Americana Encarta Encyclopedia all did not support it, and called as pseudo science. The Human Genome project (population genetics) also don't support that. Slavic people and the Balkan people have average higher ratio of non-European haplogroup markers than Hungarians. There are only less educated worker class people and teenagers support turanism in Hungary. Only the self-appointed so-called "magician historians" and their fantasy esoteric books (Táltos-tudósok) teach turanism in Hungary. But this self-appointed "scholars" have never went to university, they remained proletars by the means of education. It is a pseudo science. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.2.201.128 (talk) 19:22, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:VictoriaLePagecropped.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:VictoriaLePagecropped.jpg, which you've attributed to http://www.hinet.net.au/~vlepage/biography.htm. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kb.au (talk) 23:33, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
