User talk:7light7

Welcome!
Hello, 7light7, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Kristle Murden, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are the subject of that article.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

You need to teach yourself how to do references
see: WP:INTREF. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 02:48, 11 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I made some changes --- hopefully they will help you see how to format references.  Your conflict of interest will make it difficult for you to write this article....  Regards, Ariconte (talk) 03:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Offer of assistance
Hello 7light7,

Please let me know if you have any questions. The most important thing for you to understand at this time is that acceptable Wikipedia articles summarize what reliable, independent sources say about a topic. You cannot include anything in the article that comes from your own personal experience or memory. The only facts that can be included are those that are included in the refererences. So, I encourage you to work on the refererences first. If you have a solid refererence list, any competent Wikipedia editor can easily whip an acceptable article into shape. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  03:43, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The person who took a photo of you should be the one adding it to Wikipedia Commons, with the clarification that it is not covered by any existing copyright, and that the donating person gives up all rights to the photograph. I suggest working on the draft until it becomes an article, and only then a photographer add a photo. Also, on your User page, you should more clearly state that you are KM. After an autobiographical draft is accepted as an article, Wikipedia strongly advises against continuing to edit it. The process will become that you should recommend changes on the article's Talk page - with references - and then independent editors decide to incorporate or not.

Hello Jim, I have worked on the draft and have done all I know to do. What do I do to get the draft published?

Thank you, 7light77light7 (talk) 06:46, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Kristle Murden.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kristle Murden.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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. Thank you.

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, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Article creation guidelines
See what Ian has written at User:Ian.thomson/Howto. As applies to the KM draft, many of the refs are to credit lists. Are there at least three references available that meet Ian's criteria for more lengthy content, separate from what the artist says about self? David notMD (talk) 03:14, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi 7light7. Generally, it's better to make edit request on th talk page of the article you want to edit. In this case, that would be Talk:Kristle Murden.As for the file (File:Kristle Murden .jpg) you want to add to the article, you've stated it's your "own work", but I think you may misunderstand what that means. Generally, the person taking a photo (not the subject of the photo) is considered to be the copyright holder; so, if you didn't take this photo yourself, then it's not really your "own work". Did you take this photo yourself or did someone else take it? In the latter case, the WP:CONSENT of that person would be needed for verification purposes as explained at c:COM:OTRS. Without that copyright holder's consent, the file will likely need to be deleted. So, before the file is added to the article, you should clarify who took it and when it was taken. If you can do that, then I or someone else may be able to sort things out and advise you on what (if anything) else you need to do. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:40, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Marchjuly, the photograph and all proofs were purchased by me for the purpose of the release of my autobiography. I own the rights to the photographs. Here is the link to my book (the photo is on the back cover): https://www.amazon.com/Took-Miracle-Then-Some-ebook/dp/B07TJNH68F/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3R6GJ1XVOMWC5&dchild=1&keywords=kristle+murden&qid=1609896711&sprefix=kristle+%2Caps%2C265&sr=8-1
 * Thank you for clarifying this. The best thing for you to do then will be to send a WP:CONSENT email to Wikimedia OTRS explaining as much so that your copyright ownership of the image can be verified. You should use an official email address if you have one and you should make sure you include the name of the file "File:Kristle Murden.jpg" or the url (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kristle_Murden.jpg) in your email. Once you send in the email, you should receive an automated reply containing an OTRS ticket number; this is sort of like a reference number, so make sure you don't accidentally delete it. An OTRS volunteer will review the email and if everything checks out, they will add OTRS permission to the file's page and everything will be OK.One important thing about all of this though is that once you give your consent, you can't really take it back per c:COM:LRV; basically, you're going to be agreeing to allow anyone anywhere in the world to download this image at anytime and use for any purpose (including commercial and derivative uses). You will still retain your copyright ownership over the original image, but the version you upload to Commons will be there for anyone to use in whatever way pleases them as long as they comply with the terms of the copyright license you choose, even if you don't approve of who they are or how they're using the file. You might be able to go after them for other reasons, but you won't be able to claim they're infringing upon your copyright. I'm not trying to be scary; I just want you to better understand what c:Commons:Licensing means because many people who upload files for Wikipedia articles don't realize that they can't limit the file's use to only Wikipedia or only "non-commercial/educational" uses. If you're OK with this, then just email your consent to OTRS; if you're not, you should request the file be deleted from Commons per c:COM:CSD. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:11, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
