Weldon Kees

edit

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. I think you've done a really good job improving the Weldon Kees page. However, you should note that you've removed all of the citations that were previously in the article. It's important to remember to cite the references that you use for your additions to Wikipedia articles. Thanks!Jpcohen (talk) 21:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Citations. All of the new content is from the Kees biography by Reidel. So, do you want page numbers for each one of these? Look at how I have it in the first instances where you inserted citation needed. --Logatorial (talk) 23:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)LogatorialReply

No, you don't have to worry about page numbers. There is however a way to create a brief citation for repeated citations. It's a bit complicated, though. Not something you can easily explain. But if you go to another article, you can find how the abbreviated citation is made. For instance, if you visit the Leonard Cohen article, reference six is cited many times, and you can see how it's done by viewing how multiple references are cited within the edited text.Jpcohen (talk) 23:39, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Weldon Kees photos

edit

I had to remove the photos you posted on Weldon Kees article because they violate copyright (so long as there's no explanation of any fair use). See Wikipedia:Requested pictures for more info on copyright rules and Wikipedia. Best.Jpcohen (talk) 22:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I want to add back my deleted images. Is that possible or do I upload them again? I'll cite that piece better and then turn to doing stuff in the sandbox or kitty litter as is the case with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Logatorial (talkcontribs)

First, please be sure to sign your comments (using four tildes). Second, you can't add images onto Wikipedia that are copyrighted (unless you have a fair use argument).Jpcohen (talk) 23:15, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
FYI:You want to add comments/discussion to your talk page, not your user page.Jpcohen (talk) 23:25, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's done here then. I have added a tag to the 8xx painting image as instructed by a bot. Nice bot. I own the image. So, I would think what I have is good to insert in the image. Also, University of Nebraska Press lets the full text of "1926" be quoted as fair use. So, you don't really have to excerpt it, do you? Well, you'll tell me. --Logatorial (talk) 23:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC) LogatorialReply

Yes, you should be fine reposting the image. You shouldn't have to entirely re-upload the image (I wouldn't think). Just add the link to the image that you used before onto the Weldon Kees page. Regarding the poem and copyright, that's a tough question. I think that as far as Wikipedia is concerned, using the full text of a copyrighted poem is probably verboten (and you could double-check with another Wikipedia contributor on this). So, just to be on the safe side, I would recommend only using an excerpt. But if you think that "1926" is unintelligible without the full text, then I would try to find another poem that gets the same point across but is easier to excerpt.Jpcohen (talk) 00:49, 22 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:8XX - Weldon Kees - 1949.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading File:8XX - Weldon Kees - 1949.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) 23:06, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Oh, no worries. You're doing fine. You would just start a new section on my talk page (with a subject line). But you don't have to respond for this discussion on my talk page (unless there's a new topic you have a question about).Jpcohen (talk) 23:42, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:8XX - Weldon Kees - 1949.JPG

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:8XX - Weldon Kees - 1949.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 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. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next 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 refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:8XX - Weldon Kees - 1949.JPG

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:8XX - Weldon Kees - 1949.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 02:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

A cupcake for you!

edit
 
Jpcohen has given you a cupcake for your work on Weldon Kees. Say thank you by passing on the cupcake to someone whose work you appreciate.

That's a nice cupcake. I am going to show the entry to some friends and then make some other edits to get rid of the banner on top. I don't think I will delete that again. I'll add some other entries down the road in the near future. I think Wikipedia needs one for this poet, http://ikutapress.com/hubbell3.html, a Yale Younger winner from the 1930s. Kees knew him well and loved his work. --Logatorial (talk) 03:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Bergamot - Weldon Kees - 1951.jpg

Replaceable fair use File:The Forty Days of Musa Dagh cover 2012 edition.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:The Forty Days of Musa Dagh cover 2012 edition.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (t · c) buidhe 06:48, 25 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Eleanor Perenyi, ca. 1940.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Eleanor Perenyi, ca. 1940.jpg, which you've attributed to No evidence that the image was published at least 70 years ago; also missing PD-US rationale.. 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. (t · c) buidhe 06:50, 25 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
