File permission problem with File:Olympic champion Farid Simaika 1907-1943.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Olympic champion Farid Simaika 1907-1943.jpg, which you've attributed to Youssef Simaika Sr. 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

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Marcus simaika

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Marcus simaika requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. JMHamo (talk) 20:03, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

References

I've declined the speedy deletion for lack of significance, as I think it passes that. However, and this might sound odd, we need references that are not directly connected to the subject - please see WP:RS. Wikipedia works on coverage in good sources, rather than primary sources.

Your message on my talk page

Hi, I did reply to your message, the reply was on my talk page, and is now archived here.

There is a photo at the Commons, File:Farid Simaika.jpg, but I don't think this is the one you mean, as the dates of birth and death don't match. That's the only photo that you have uploaded so far. You will have to upload the photo for us to include it in the article. If there are any deleted images on the Commons, I don't have access to them, as I am not an administrator on that wiki. — Diannaa (talk) 18:16, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The reason I reverted your changes is because you did not add a proper reference, you simply added the number "2". A reference includes details of the work cited. It was not clear what you meant - were you trying to refer to the reference that is already cited and is currently listed as number 2? If so, that can be done by "naming" the reference and re-citing it - if you are not sure how to do that then I can do it for you but you will need to explain clearly what you are trying to do - which information is found in what source. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 22:36, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

I have added the references as you asked, hopefully you can see by what I have done how to correctly cite a reference multiple times in the future - you give the reference a name and then use that name later on. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 07:57, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
