The article Pinterfamily has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be an article whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 3 under Articles. When you are actually ready to create an article with content, feel free to create the article. You'll probably want to use Pinter family rather than Pinterfamily...no reason to compress all the words together. But you also must include something to explain how this family meets the Notability Criteria for articles. DMacks (talk) 04:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Arnold Leibovit

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Arnold Leibovit, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.calibra.eclipse.co.uk/eve/arnold_leibovit.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:55, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Arnold Leibovit

A tag has been placed on Arnold Leibovit requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Ffwgp(2).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ffwgp(2).jpg, which you've sourced to Provided by permission of Arnold Leibovit Entertainment.. 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.

Hello, Recado!

It was really helpful of you to upload File:PuppetoonMovie(2).jpg. However, in order to keep and use new images, we need to know their original source.

Replaceable fair use File:Arnold Leibovit.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Arnold Leibovit.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —teb728 t c 02:16, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

A few things about how Wikipedia works

You said at Orange Mike’s talk page that you wanted to find out how Wikipedia works. Here are a few things:

• One of the easiest things is uploading a picture with permission. The big unintuitive thing about this is that Wikipedia does not accept permission for use only on Wikipedia: Acceptable permission must allow reuse by anyone for anything including commercial use and modification. See free license. The reason for this policy is that Wikipedia has a goal of creating reusable content. Didn’t anyone point you to Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission? A free photo (one with acceptable permission) must be have a tag that indicates the specific free license; you did not provide such a tag.
• A more complicated issue is using pictures without permission for reuse by anyone for anything (what we call “non-free use”). Such use must fulfill the restrictions of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. This policy makes virtually impossible the non-free use of a picture of a living person. For the policy forbids use of a non-free picture if a free substitute exists or could be created, and for a living person a free substitute could almost always be created. Somebody tagged the portrait with {{non-free promotional}}, which is invalid because the photo is replaceable. (The fact that Leibovit prefers that photo counts for nothing.) The reason you have not been hassled about the posters is that they are not replaceable.
• Still more complicated is article content: The subjects of articles must be "notable"; basically this means that they must have received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Content of articles must be verifiable by references to reliable sources. Articles must be encyclopedic and written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia’s high visibility has recently made it target of people trying to use it promotionally; so it raises a big red flag when you say, “I am maintaining a number of Wikipedia pages for a friend…” IMDb, La-la land records, and Amazon are not independent reliable sources, and I am not familiar with DVD Review or IGN Movies; so I can’t tell if your subjects meet our notability standards.
• I am confused by why you tag the bio with {{OTRS pending}}. I hope you don’t imagine that the bio will stay in some state that Leibovit or you approve. It is not his article: it is Wikipedia’s article about him.

I hope this helps. —teb728 t c 09:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

You compare your bio of Leibovit with the Nora Ephron bio; here are some differences I see: The lede section of her bio notes that she was nominated for three Oscars; this clearly indicates that she is notable under WP:ANYBIO#1. I can’t tell from your lede section why Leibovit is supposed to be notable. In her bio the lists don’t overwhelm the prose text like they do in yours. And I am familiar with most of the films in her filmography. If I were writing a resume, and I felt my qualifications were light, I might be tempted to include a long list of accomplishments in hope that quantity would make up for quality. Your bio makes me think of that kind of resume, which is why I think it reads like a resume. Your second version has even less textual explanation of the list items than the original; IMHO that is a dis-improvement. One list that is particularly a candidate for conversion to prose is the awards section.

I accept your statement that your connection to Leibovit is tenuous. But however tenuous it may be, in some sense you do seem to be writing on his behalf. (You wrote, for example, “I am maintaining a number of Wikipedia pages for a friend, Arnold Leibovit…” And you added a {{OTRS pending}} to the bio, indicating that you are using his copyrighted text. This is stuff that you wrote—not something I am trying to prove.) This creates a concern that you are trying to publicize him. —teb728 t c 11:32, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. We may be making progress. This post gives me a lot to work with. BTW, I think I placed the OTRS pending tag in the wrong place. It was intented to indicate that an image permission was sent via email. The instructuions said to send the email with permissions and add the OTRS tag to the image page.I possibly put this tag on the wrong page. Recado (talk) 20:46, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
