Speedy deletion nomination of Marcus Engman

Hello Jackery01,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Marcus Engman for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 21:12, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Marcus Engman

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Marcus Engman 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --Finngall ^talk 22:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

October 2015

Your recent edit to 1995 appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 02:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Copyright problem: OH Ranch

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as OH Ranch, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://eedition.highrivertimes.com/doc/High-River-Times/highriver_06262012/2012062601/41.html#41, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page East of Eden (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

File:SHAD old logo.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Copyright concerns

Please stop. You uploaded File:Jason-Kenney.jpg but forgot to specify the source or the license. This information is required, it's not optional. You then replaced an existing freely-licensed image with this new image. You must never do this again, WP:COPYRIGHT is a core policy here at Wikipedia and your actions are placing the project at risk. --Yamla (talk) 00:32, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Jason-Kenney.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Jason-Kenney.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 02:03, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jason Kenney.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Jason Kenney.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Jon Kolbert (talk) 05:35, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Copyright block

You have been blocked from editing for a period of indefinite for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Unblock me

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

'I resubmitted the image with the proper copyright information using the upload wizard but was blocked anyways.'Your reason here AristarchusValen (talk) 22:04, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The source page literally says "© 2019 Government of Alberta". You either maliciously lied about the copyright situation, or you're far too incompetent to be working with files. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 00:10, 3 May 2019 (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.

You falsely claimed the image was public domain because it was created by the Alberta government. Alberta government works are covered by crown copyright and are not public domain. The source you provided (thank you) notes that the contents are protected by copyright. You did not submit the image with proper copyright information. --Yamla (talk) 22:07, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Note that this block is not meant to be punitive. In cases of copyright, I normally ask people to answer the questions raised here, but in this case, I'd be satisfied with answers to the following. Please be careful. Copying and pasting your answer is not okay; it would be a copyright violation! Please answer in your own words.

1. Crown copyright (in Canada) differs from regular copyright in one important regard. Please tell me how it differs.

It is not automatically part of the public domain.

1. What if any circumstances would we prefer to use a copyrighted image of a person under a claim of fair use, instead of a freely licensed image of them? I'm not trying to mislead you; there may be a case where this would be acceptable here at Wikipedia, or there might not be a case.

If the photo is of a deceased person and is used as the main means of identification for the article it would qualify for Fair Use.

1. When you upload an image in the future (any image, whether you took the picture or you found it on the Internet), will you commit to providing both the source and the license information immediately upon upload?

Yes. I will.

Note that I'll be happy to unblock you if you answer those questions to my satisfaction. You are free to refuse to answer them and instead convince another admin to unblock you. Again, though, this block isn't punitive. It's absolutely critical you commit no more copyright violations, but once I'm convinced of that, or once another admin is convinced of that, you can and should be unblocked. --Yamla (talk) 21:28, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Your answer to crown copyright is not accurate. Please note that I'm looking for you to answer how crown copyright differs from regular copyright. Your answer to the second question is incorrect because I wasn't clear. Assume you have a public domain image of a deceased person and you have a slightly better but copyrighted image of that person. Could you use the copyrighted image? Again, the block is not punitive. It's okay that you didn't get this on your first try, we are still engaging in discussion toward getting you unblocked. Your answers weren't monumentally incorrect or anything, and copyright and fair-use is notoriously tricky. For example, I had to look up the answer to the first question I asked you. --Yamla (talk) 14:56, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Crown copyright expires 50 years after publication while regular copyright expires 50 years after the death of the creator. You could use the copyrighted image of the person who is deceased because it counts as a historical portrait as long as the use of the portrait in article is minimal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AristarchusValen (talk • contribs)

I'm afraid both of these answers are incorrect. I won't penalise you for the first as at least one Canadian government site gives the wrong information. Crown_copyright#Canada gives the correct information. For the second answer, though, that's just outright incorrect. Please reread WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE. In order to be unblocked, you'll need to explain why your answer was incorrect. --Yamla (talk) 14:52, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

But the wikipedia upload wizard states that if the photo is "an historic portrait of a person no longer alive... or other depiction of a person who is no longer alive [and] will be used as the primary means of visual identification of that person in the article about them." then it will be ok to use it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AristarchusValen (talk • contribs)

Please sign your posts. You can do so by including the following six-character string: --~~~~ I pointed you to WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE which includes the answer you seek. It's really, really important that you read both of those in detail and you thoroughly understand them. You can't rely on the upload wizard. --Yamla (talk) 15:26, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

From reading the non-free content article, you could use a copyrighted image, instead of a free use one, if the actual copyrighted image of the person was what the article was about.--AristarchusValen (talk) 19:12, 15 May 2019 (UTC)<

No, this is entirely false. --Yamla (talk) 19:55, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, but I do not see how this is 'entirely false'. On Wikipedia:FAIRUSE it states "Some non-free images may be used on Wikipedia, providing they meet both the legal criteria for fair use, and Wikipedia's own guidelines for non-free content... [such as] Images that are themselves subject of commentary".

Perhaps I should clarify what I mean. I believe, under the aforementioned prescription, if there was a particularly notable photo of Barack Obama, it would be allowed to use that photo on the Wikipedia page which discusses the photo. Similar to how the photo Taking a Stand in Baton Rouge is featured on its own article, despite being produced by a photographer working for Reuters.--AristarchusValen (talk) 00:27, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

That's not what I asked you. --Yamla (talk) 10:08, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Ok. You should therefore not use the copyrighted image even it is slightly better. Both of these answers were incorrect because the images were copyrighted according to Wikipedia:FAIRUSE and Wikipedia:COPYRIGHT.I think I will just stay away from uploading files every again. --AristarchusValen (talk) 02:41, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello??? Anyone there? AristarchusValen (talk) 01:22, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Master's Front.jpg

The file File:Master's Front.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Unblock Request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

AristarchusValen (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I have tried to answers the admin's questions but they have stopped responding. In the future I'm going to refrain from using media at all unless it's a logo.

Accept reason:

Your answers give me pause. It's quite easy to violate copyright without dealing with images; you can do so with text, for example. You have agreed to refrain from using media entirely, except for logos. On that basis, I am willing to lift the block. Remember, even logos must adhere to WP:FAIRUSE; you need a detailed fair-use rationale for each use. It looks likely you'll be able to avoid any further copyright violations, so I think the unblock is appropriate. Yamla (talk) 23:43, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Pinging Yamla for an opinion. Personally I'd be inclined to unblock. AristarchusValen, there was a gap of more than a month between Yamla's latest comment here and your reply; it's unsurprising that Yamla missed that reply. Huon (talk) 21:58, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! Sorry for the hassle, would've pinged Yamla myself but didn't know that was possible. Thanks again. AristarchusValen (talk) 22:05, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Standardized Testing in Alberta, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page French (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 12:56, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:History of North-Western Territory

A tag has been placed on Category:History of North-Western Territory requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Alberta Advantage

Hello, AristarchusValen

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username EggRoll97 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've proposed an article that you started, Alberta Advantage, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criteria and I believe that the article obviously and uncontroversially does not belong in an encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|EggRoll97}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Speedy deletion nomination of National Digital Asset Exchange

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on National Digital Asset Exchange, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Graham Group Ltd. moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Graham Group Ltd., does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

None of the sources you cited are independent. Are there any newspaper articles or books about their work? Mcampany (talk) 04:44, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
