Charli Turner Thorne[edit]

Please remember to add inline citations for verification (WP:REF) whenever you make a significant edit to wikipedia. The article you have created does not comply with wikipedia guidelines (WP:SAA), partly as well because it has been written in bullet points, and these two factors may well result in its deletion in the near future. I can see there is some good information here, and that the person is worthy of an article, which is why I have not put it up for deletion, but the article cannot be improved to comply to the guidelines unless you can prove where you got the information from. Thank You. Jhbuk (talk) 18:04, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Charli-Turner-Thorne-Photo.jpg[edit]

I've marked this image as missing a source and missing a license. However, I found the image on ASU's athletics pages. You can't take content from a web site and just use it here on Wikipedia without a license. Finding a picture somewhere on the web and using it here is rarely acceptable.

In this case, the image remains property of ASU unless they specifically release the image under a free license. That has not been shown to be the case here. Further, this coach is alive. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a free licensed image of her and per Foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy, we do not accept non-free images of living people for depiction purposes on their biographical articles here.

Do NOT restore this image to the article without first proving it is available under a free license. If you do, it will be removed. If you have questions, ask first and get answers. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:11, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I will upload a new image directly from our Sport Information Manager and update the license."Brycecurrie (talk)"

Please note the image MUST be released under a free license or it will NOT be permitted. See WP:COPYREQ for instructions, and get proof of release under a free license submitted to m:OTRS. Getting permission to use on Wikipedia is completely insufficient. It has to be available under a free license, which includes the ability for commercial uses downstream. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you may wish to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest regarding your editing to the Charli Turner Thorne article. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:24, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Hammersoft, I will ensure that it is a free license before uploading."Brycecurrie (talk)"

And looking at the site, it appears you do have a conflict of interest. I am not saying you can't edit the article, but you must be very careful to write in from a neutral point of view. You're doing ok so far, but include more references for the various statistical claims. See Wikipedia:Citing sources. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you should sign your comments by placing a "~~~~" at the end of your statements. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For signatures, try it without the quotation marks, and just four ~ --Hammersoft (talk) 20:35, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the pointers, I do have a conflict of interest, but I thought she should have a wiki page. I will try and be as neutral as possible. Brycecurrie (talk) 20:36, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the photo with a full release, let me know if there is any problem please Brycecurrie (talk) 21:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, unfortunately there is. I know this seems like arcane bureaucratic messology. But, there is a problem. When someone releases a photo that they themselves did not personally take, we need a method to verify the release is legitimate. So, you have release, but we have no way to verify that release. See the instructions at Wikipedia:COPYREQ#When_permission_is_confirmed for how to next proceed, starting with point #2. Though, I'd recommend uploading the image to Commons and having the one uploaded to en.wikipedia deleted. Commons is a central repository of free license images. Placing the image at Commons still allows the image to be used at en.wikipedia, but also allows it to be used on a broad number of other language wikipedias. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will upload to the commons. Thanks Hammersoft Brycecurrie (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded to the commons but I don't know how to put the photo back up using the file I uploaded on the commons. Any thoughts? Brycecurrie (talk) 20:04, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Turner Thorne, Charli.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Turner Thorne, Charli.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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.
