Discussion point @ Norval Morrisseau

Please read and discuss Talk:Norval_Morrisseau#Commenting out a section for now. Miigwech. CJLippert (talk) 18:27, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your on-going input in the discussion as we navigate through the issues. However, as a point of Wikipedia etiquette, please remember to sign your comments by using four tilde (~~~~) after your comments. The system will then automatically attribute your comments putting in your name, time and date. We all forget from time-to-time, which is why SineBot then back-signs, but due to the level of activity at the discussion page, once a new entry is made, it clears the SineBot's cue, and if there was a previously unsigned statement, it remains unsigned. You'll get the hang of all this, eventually. Again, thank you for your on-going input in the discussion thus far. CJLippert (talk) 23:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I see you do not have a "Welcome" notice, so I have inserted one above. It comes with a Wikipedia tutorial, which hopefully will answer some of your questions you may have. CJLippert (talk) 23:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Norval Morrisseau. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. freshacconci talktalk 03:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

My apologies for reverting some of the text, I am new to Wikipedia. As you can see, this is a hotly contested subject, with a number of vested interests on all sides. Contrary to the many accusations leveled by other users, all hearsay, the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society of course does exist, as the document from the Society's solicitor confirms, and the Society was in Red Lake recently, as the added evidence indicates. The declarations by Mr Morrisseau are publicly available from the Ontario Superior Court, and as they were sworn before more than one solicitor, their authenticity is incontestable. There are few forums, like Wikipedia, to openly provide factual evidence, and attempts elsewhere have met with litigation form those with interests in continuing to sell artworks that the artist himself has identified as fakes. I feel that the current Wikipedia entry should remain and the note regarding the neutrality of the section be removed. In my view, the entry is quite well documented, certainly up to typical Wikipedia standards. One question, as I'm new to this, how does one enter copyright information for documents that are publicly available, for example through the court system?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan.browne (talk • contribs) 13:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

When you upload an image, we try to upload it to the Commons project, so that the image could be used across all Wikimedia sites. When you upload an image to the Commons (or to Wikipedia), you should have the ability to select a copyright notice. If you're not sure of the copyright status, there are help desks that can help you figure out what the correct status may be so that you can select the correct copyright notice.

File permission problem with File:NMHS letter.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:NMHS letter.jpg. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 22:31, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
