Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Since your article lacked references and had no links to other articles, it was unclear why he was significant enough for an encyclopaedia article. Although you had a section called References, it actually appeared to be a list of his scientific publications; it's not clear how this verifies his biography, and in any case he isn't an independent source as is required.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: ''eminent... He actively participated in the creation of... He has authored several dozen papers... Passions... passion...  dedicated
 * To learn more about Morphological Classification visit: www.ch.pw.edu.pl/~gorski &mdash; no urls in text, should be an external link.
 * The article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. I didn't check for this, but note that copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain.

The article needs a bit of work, but can be salvaged. If you need a copy of the deleted text to work on, let me know  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:53, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Professor Andrzej Wincenty Gorski giving a lecture at Warsaw University of Technology in the 1990s.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Professor Andrzej Wincenty Gorski giving a lecture at Warsaw University of Technology in the 1990s.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

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.

Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Professor Andrzej Gorski giving lecture at Warsaw University of Technology 1990s.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Professor Andrzej Gorski giving lecture at Warsaw University of Technology 1990s.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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.

As we explained when uploading the photo, my wife visited Professor Gorski in October and has been given permission to add a small selection of photos that are between 10 and 30 years old to the article. it was difficult enough working out how to load the file, never mind have someone come straight back and decide to block it. What does someone have to do to achieve the relatively simple aim of loading a photo that they have permission of the subject to use??

contest the nomination - but there's no button in sight labelled as above.
