File copyright problem with File:Amazon Falls Official Movie Poster.png
Thank you for uploading File:Amazon Falls Official Movie Poster.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. 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 uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Armbrust Talk  Contribs  21:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Amazon Falls


A tag has been placed on Amazon Falls requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Amazon Falls
You should start by reading WP:COI. That policy suggests you shouldn't have anything to do with the article, but it is not an absolute prohibition.

You asked "I was given the text by the producer, Darren. He had grabbed it from the website. He is asking if it is acceptable to repost from the website and cite the website as it's reference."

Simply stated, no. There are copyright issues that can be easily resolved, but the prose style of a website is only rarely coincident with the prose style appropriate for an encyclopedia article.

Articles in Wikipedia require evidence of Notability which is satisfied by multiple, independent sources. While it is acceptable to use a primary source for some purposes, it is never sufficient by itself. The website created by those involved in the production is not independent. Again, information form that site can be used in a limited way, but not as the sole source of material. Editors need to find discussions of the movie, the plot, audience reactions and other pertinent information from other sources.

You are welcome to contribute to the shaping of an article by posting at the talk page of an article, because you may be in an excellent position to point out information that might be missed by others, or point to factual sources if misinformation is accidentally incorporated.

A Neutral point of view is one of the central pillars of Wikipedia, and people too close to the subject have extreme difficulty writing in a neutral way.

As an aside, it sounds like an interesting movie, I hope some editors do write about it.

Sorry.-- SPhilbrick  T  00:14, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

A suggestion
I have another suggestion. Check out WikiProject Film. While I personally enjoy films, I enjoy them simply as a consumer. My interests in article creation are in different areas. However, the editors that are interested in film are likely to check in at that project. There might be a particular task force that fits closely with Amazon Falls. While I can't promise anything, if you were to identify a few of the more prolific editors, you might post a note to their talk page, mentioning that a big bad admin (that would be me) is being very difficult about letting you write an article, and perhaps someone who is not involved could help. You could commit to finding useful information, for example, you should be able to arrange for a picture that could meet the wikipedia licensing requirements, and you could point out what has been written about the project so far. A good editor will not simply use the information you provide, but will look on their own, but you could give them a leg up. Again, I won't promise anything, but it might work.

If it isn't clear how to identify relevant editors after looking at that page, let me know, and I'll help.-- SPhilbrick  T  00:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Amazon Falls Official Movie Poster.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Amazon Falls Official Movie Poster.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Katrin Bowen


The article Katrin Bowen has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Baseball  Watcher  23:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
