File permission problem with File:Jeff Ragsdale Photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jeff Ragsdale Photo.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:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tbhotch^{Talk C.} 18:59, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Comment

Hey. I am Richard Peterson. This photo is from a film I shot, Ironic Odyssey. It IS not a screen background. Please see the movie it is taken from at this link on Jeff Ragsdale's youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/jeffreyragsdale#p/u/4/v58Kt8Re1wA

Thank you, Richard Peterson. I own this photo.

Sorry but nowhere states that you are the copyholder, even IMDb. Tbhotch^{Talk C.} 19:25, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

• So add to the video description on YouTube a statement that stills are released under a Creative Commons licence - see {{cc-by-2.5}}. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:51, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Jeff Ragsdale, you may be blocked from editing. Removing someone else's comments is not remotely acceptable, in particular when they raise a valid issue. Calling for them to be blocked at the same time is asking for a block yourself. You don't own the article on Jeff Ragsdale. Other users have every right to challenge the notability of the article. Sailsbystars (talk • contribs • email) 18:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Even though the article is plenty of sources (some of them unreliables), article's lead does not pass that rule. It talks about his television appearances and not his life nor his films, which are more important. If I were reviewing this article, I woud not give a "notability" tag, because it seems to pass it, instead I would add a "clean up". Talk with Theda and ask him/her for why the "notability" tag. If s/he comment the issues, work on them. Tbhotch^{Talk C.} 04:34, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't worry about a notability tag. Agree with Tbhotch in principle, lead should assert notability (and not by saying ...is a notable X...) as a short summary of the subject. Many refs are not necessarily needed for the lead, (although they are always nice to have) as the matter in the lead should be covered in more depth in the article proper. Also the article should avoid phrases like "starred" unless these can be sourced. I didn't follow all the cites, but assuming they all recount individual success, this is not enough to say "starred" on WP. One can say "captained" if that's citable, or "scoring 30% of the teams points in season X". Rich Farmbrough, 09:29, 21 November 2010 (UTC).

I have made a few minor changes, but my biggest criticism of the article was that on a third reading it seemed to be neither about Ragsdale, nor about his significant achievements, but about the media coverage of him. Of course this plays reasonably well to WP since we are so used to unsourced - and often unsourcable materials. And indeed if his aim in life is column inches, and to be a notable self-publicist, and we grant that he has achieved that, this is a matter worthy of attention. If however he is notable for his activism, for example, the article should expand on that. What other verifiable significant activism has he done? The same applies to his other claims to fame. Rich Farmbrough, 10:02, 21 November 2010 (UTC).

Re: your request on my page: I think I shall forgo this particular kerfuffle. There are more appropriate ways of getting more attention - WP:RFC, for example. As it is, the page looks a lot like a WP:PROMO page. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:54, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Block

As you may know from your reading of NLT, your legal threats bar you from editing WP until the termination of the process if any.

You may not be aware that the community also takes apparent physical threats, such as you posted on the IP's talk page extremely seriously.

For these reasons I have blocked this account indefinitely - i.e. until and unless you are unblocked by another administrator you may not edit, except for this page.

To request an unblock post "{{Unblock|reason= <your reason for being unblocked here> ~~~~}}" on this page.

Rich Farmbrough, 11:09, 21 November 2010 (UTC).

Further to this I have requested a community ban, and that your posting be reported to the proper authorities, at WP:ANI. Rich Farmbrough, 11:25, 21 November 2010 (UTC).
