File permission problem with File:WoaS FF main screen.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:WoaS FF main screen.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 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) 20:52, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wiki on a Stick (from Joe Decker's talk)

edit

Hello Joe Decker, please, could you review my draft Draft:Wiki_on_a_Stick again? I added more references about it. Thanks Tomaswoas (talk) 10:44, 26 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

I can give you some quick advice if not a full review. First, there's a 54-word section pulled from [1], and while the software may be GPL I don't see immediately that the description has been released from copyright, which gets us into the problems discussed at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials
Second, you've added a lot of sources, but it would be worth recapping what Wikipedia considers reliable at this point, and how that interacts with the basic bar the references here have to hit, the "notability" guideline at WP:GNG. Please read it, and then to make sense of it, also try reading User:Joe Decker/IsThisNotable. The wiki pages of various sorts, which make up a lot of sources, are not going to be considered reliable sources under this guideline, generally we're looking for things that have been written and then separately put through an editorial process. Most magazines, books, newspapers, qualify, fewer blogs. There's certainly a precedent for using TechRepublic, and the About link might qualify, ... it will help whoever does a formal review next if there are fewer sources that don't meet our reliability guidelines, so that the reviewer can find the others.
Your best chance at a quick positive review is to fix the copyright issue, cut back the sources that don't meet the reliability guideline even if that means the article is shorter (it's much easier to get a short article reviewed), and to make sure that the remaining sources are reliable, independent, and that a couple that are easy to find talk about Wiki on a Stick in detail. Best of luck! --j⚛e deckertalk 07:32, 27 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
