April 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Knickerbocker Village has been reverted.
Your edit here to Knickerbocker Village was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://knickerbockervillage.blogspot.com) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:00, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Mark Olf

Don't do that again... You've gone and mixed the comment up with the hook. Please put the comment at the bottom. (Not near the hook. Newest things go at the bottom of the page. My comment, as the nominator can go there.) Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 10:59, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

I am new to this process. My observation (its placement as well as its content) should have tipped you off. It's a learning process, and I will appreciate your patience.Jmolf (talk) 12:16, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Now that I understand what "hook" and "nomination" mean, I am doubly embarrassed by my error. I thought I was making an observation about a proposed edit. So very sorry. I do appreciate the nomination.Jmolf (talk) 15:20, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

You were not accustomed to our DYK processes, and there was no way you could have known beforehand. There is nothing to feel embarrassed about. →Στc. 19:31, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Totally agree with Σ. Nothing to apologise for whatsoever, and thank you very much for your contributions to Wikipedia - long may they continue! Pedro :  Chat  07:30, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Mark Olf, Folksinger and Recording Artist.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mark Olf, Folksinger and Recording Artist.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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.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. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:19, 21 April 2012 (UTC) File: Mark Olf, Folksinger and Recording Artist.jpg was created by User: Jmolf from a photograph owned by the late Mark Olf. User: Jmolf is a member of Mark Olf's family and executor of the Olf family estate. When Mark Olf died, that photograph, along with all of the Olf family papers and photographs, became the property of User: Jmolf. The familial and legal connection between User: Jmolf and subject Mark Olf is documentable and can be provided on request. There are no identification marks on this 70 year old photograph, and its creator is not known. Throughout the 1940's copies of the image were used freely by Mark Olf as part of the publicity materials that he sent to venues at which he performed. There is no indication that restrictions, requirements for payment, or requirements for attribution were ever imposed on Mark Olf or on the venues to which he sent the image. In 1951, with the appearance of Olf's first Folkways album, the artist replaced this image in his publicity materials with the more recent one published in the booklet accompanying that album. After 1951, the image depicted in File: Mark Olf, Folksinger and Recording Artist.jpg was not used again, and a search uncovers no evidence that it has ever been published. User: Jmolf, owner of the photograph and creator of the file, posted the image on Wikipedia in good faith and believes he has the right to grant Wikipedia and its users the free and unencumbered right to use and/or reproduce the image. That being said, the Olf family holds Wikipedia in high regard and understands that copyright issues directly affect Wilipedia and its reputation. If Wikipedia determines that the posting of File: Mark Olf, Folksinger and Recording Artist.jpg is a violation copyright law, and that it does not constitute a "fair use image," User: Jmolf will promptly delete the file from the Mark Olf article. [Note: If this statement should more appropriately be posted elsewhere in Wikipedia, please advise.]Jmolf (talk) 16:56, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
