editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Che: Rise & Fall, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nat Geo. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

White: A Season in the Life of John Borden Evans
editHi. Re: White: A Season in the Life of John Borden Evans, we still need more independent reliable sources. Winning an award at a relatively minor, and local, film festival like the Richmond International Film Festival would not be enough to meet WP:NFILM. I'm certainly not proposing that the article be deleted, though I am beginning to wonder if all these short docs should not be better merged into single article on the Heritage Film Project as an example of a Category:Documentary film series -- though I won't be doing that in any hasty or unilateral way, I assure you. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:03, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Shawn, I agree, perhaps an article on Heritage Film Project could be the way to go, although I’m afraid that if could be preview as promotional, and that would not look good. John Borden Evans seems to hold his own, besides the production company and the directo. His artwork is in the personal collection of such names as Tom Wolfe, Dave Mathews and others... Perhaps the film needs more time to make a more significant impact? PS. Would this be a good example concerning the series of short films by Heritage Film Project at the University of Virginia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Laboratory_Science_SeriesWikimench100 (talk) 05:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

=Heritage films Collection
editThere have been several articles from various sources dealing with collections in ways similar to yours. As a librarian, I think that it is very important to spread & preserve knowledge of such collections, but I'm uncomfortable with the idea of listing the complete contents. But although of course this can be done on their own web page, and linked to here,, it is true that we are a more permanent location. I'm trying to devise some way of handling them other than mainspace. Possible a new space entirely, possibly WP space pages listing resources. Others are thinking about this too.
I'm particular dubious about trying to write articles both on the collections,and on the individual films. This looks a little too much like promotion. Most specially, if you are going to write hese articles, the main article should just list the films and make the link-- people will find the description there. I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on this. DGG ( talk ) 01:46, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
DGG
Thank you for you comments and suggestions. In fact I believe you're right in many ways. One of the main reasons behind the problem you so clearly outlined comes from the fact that the articles were not planned in advance. There was first an inherited article on the filmmaker which we continue to developed at the same time that we were creating some of the articles on films related to subjects in which we were interested. Then someone suggested, I can't remember who di so now, that an article should be written on Heritage Film Project in order to avoid the long list of films on the filmmakers entry and we felt that was most reasonable so we started to work on the HFP entry and started to work on making the filmmakers page a bit less of a catalogue listing. We shall continue to work and adapt this entries in search of a balanced perspective that would show the filmmaker's trials and tribulations while concentrating on the HFP to list the production of the period 2008-present. And here's another issue since most of the production of EMB is not necessarily with HFP. With regards to the individual pages for certain titles those are only on the most popular or successful titles such as Che Rise and Fall, Samba on Your Feet, Evita and a few others. For what we know neither the HFP, nor the filmmaker have a descent website and the websites they had have been quite unreliable and unstable. We feed mostly on publish interviews on the press, google alarms, and in some instances on interviews with members of the cast or crews, or colleges. Any thoughts?Wikimench100 (talk) 04:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Andrea Wulf. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg
.
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption
. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:NewYorkTimesLithotripter.jpg
editThank you for uploading File:NewYorkTimesLithotripter.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 22:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:RussiaGillenwaterAwarded.jpeg
editThanks for uploading File:RussiaGillenwaterAwarded.jpeg. 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. – Train2104 (t • c) 22:48, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

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 in section F6 of the 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:Premier at Paramount Theatre of Rita Dove.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The article Searching 4 Tabernero has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I don't believe that this film meets the general notability guidelines, nor the notability guidelines for films. The references currently on the article don't appear to be enough to prove this film's notability, and there doesn't appear to be many more references/sources on the internet to prove its notability. Furthermore, the IMDb link for this film states that it is in "post-production", and per WP:NFF, "films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines".
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Seagull123 Φ 21:39, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, Wikimench100. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. For the image File:AliceOfficialPoster01.jpg you indicated that this was your own work, implying that you are either the director or someone involved with the film or the organization that produced it. If this is not your own work, please read over WP:COPYVIO. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 04:15, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Actually, I see in this comment where you as much as state that you hold a conflict of interest. I would strongly, STRONGLY recommend that you not edit any articles with which you have a direct conflict of interest, especially as there are major issues with notability, at least in the article currently up for deletion. Given the issues, it is very much not in your best interest to make direct edits to articles. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 04:20, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

edit{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 04:30, 9 December 2020 (UTC)- I was going to bring this up at the COI noticeboard only at first, but when I went to compile the articles you've created or edited with a conflict of interest, the amount is quite frankly huge. Your edits are either to make or edit articles related to Heritage Film Project (including edits on the people or events that are the focus of their films), Eduardo Montes-Bradley, or people related to Montes-Bradley. You've been editing for years and given warnings that the articles you were creating had issues with notability and sourcing, yet I don't see where you've taken any of that to heart and instead have continued to create articles with sourcing issues - most recently with the Alice film. This gives off the strong impression that you are here first and foremost to promote Eduardo Montes-Bradley and anything related to him. Even if your intentions were good, by not disclosing this on the articles' talk pages and trying to ensure that all of the pages met notability guidelines, you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot here.
- I am willing to unblock you, but one of the main requirements will be that you cannot edit any articles related to Eduardo Montes-Bradley or create any articles related to him. Wikipedia is not a place to promote a person and their work. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 04:36, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
I understand, I will no longer continue to edit the above reference articles. However, can I pick any other Latin American Film Director I follow and have an interest in their biographical exposure to continue editing these articles when they need to be expanded? I will certainly change topics gladly. I enjoy editing and contributing Wikimench100 (talk) 04:42, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Accept reason:
{{subst:accept reason here}} ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 05:22, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
I sincerely thank you for taking the time to help me clean up my articles. I often work alone, by myself, and you're right often around the Montes-Bradley, but also many others as well, and I have personally contacted many institutions and even Mr. Montes-Bradley himself to request their permission to submit photographs, or even as in the case of Montes-Bradley I wrote to him to ask if he would donate some of his photographs to Wikipedia which he has such as his portrait of Ta-Nehisi Coates which has been replicated all over the world. However, I understand your concerns and I put myself at your disposal to clarify the presumed conflict of interest. Once again, I like to take this opportunity to thank you and I hope that something good comes out of all the good work and that mistakes can be amended.
