User talk:Artfuldodger06

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Blood and Thunder (book)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Blood and Thunder (book), and it appears to include material copied directly from https://www.file2store.info/ebooks-blood/blood-and-thunder-it419969498/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:34, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Hampton Sides Profile Pic 2015.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Hampton Sides Profile Pic 2015.jpg. 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 Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 18:34, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of In the Kingdom of Ice


A tag has been placed on In the Kingdom of Ice requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://knopfdoubleday.com/book/214368/in-the-kingdom-of-ice/. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. KSF T C 19:19, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Your addition to Blood and Thunder (book) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. KSF T C 19:27, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Blood and Thunder (book)


A tag has been placed on Blood and Thunder (book), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —teb728 t c 23:59, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

June 2015
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Blood and Thunder (book). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

A page you started (Americana (book)) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Americana (book), Artfuldodger06!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Artfuldodger06. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Hampton Sides, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 23:28, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Copyright
Please do not post copyrighted material on pages. You were warned about this back on July 18th when In the Kingdom of Ice was nominated for speedy deletion as unambiguous copyright infringement. I need to warn you that if you do not stop posting copyrighted materials you run the risk of getting blocked from editing, possibly permanently. You have already been warned once about this, yet days later you created (Americana (book), which also contained copyrighted text. This is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Also, I would appreciate it if you would write out the reception section rather than just list reviews. While this isn't a huge problem, it can sometimes be seen as unintentionally promotional (at worst) or (at best) just a little unhelpful since it doesn't expand on what the reviews cover. When writing reception sections I tend to go through the reviews and look for a good quote to pull for the article. If multiple outlets gave a certain type of review (positive or negative) or had similar criticisms (or praise) then I'll lump them together. You can see an example of this with the section for Hellhound On His Trail. As far as the citing of media links go, a better way to utilize those would be to use them to back up various claims in the article. If you're not sure where to put them or they're a little too general to back up a specific detail that isn't already generally covered in the article, just put them in one of the basic sentences, like the lead sentence. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:29, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, do you have a COI with Sides or are you just a general fan of his works. If you have a COI and you're worried about making the article too promotional, then just let me know and I'll look over your work. Other than the copyvio and the tendency to list sources, there really doesn't seem to be any true major issues with your pages that would make them seem dreadfully promotional or anything else that would set off COI concerns. Heck, of those the only one I'm truly worried about is the copyvio. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:53, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Deletion pending for File:Hampton Sides.jpg
Hello, Artfuldodger06. Some time ago, a file you uploaded &mdash; File:Hampton Sides.jpg &mdash; was tagged with OTRS pending, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.


 * If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.


 * If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 21:21, 20 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello B-bot (talk), thank you for the heads up... Both myself and the owner have sent his letter of consent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. However, I will retry ASAP. Do I need more than just an email from the owner giving me permission to use the file? Is there a particular license that needs to be procured? I have posted on Media Copyright questions page as well. Very much look forward to correcting my mistake, and apologies for the trouble. Artfuldodger06 (talk) 5:30 PM, September 20 2015.
