Image Tagging Image:Around.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Around.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Tawker 07:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Mo Fanning
I have nominated Mo Fanning, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Mo Fanning. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

In re: Mo Fanning
If I may comment, in regards to this article and your comments at its talk page. The concern regarding the article is that the subject does not appear notable. Everything in the article must be sourced using reliable sources that are both independent and verifiable. The sources that are provided in the article are the author's website (Good for background or as an additional resource, but not independent), the author's literary agent (does not provide information directly about the author), a book review website maintained in part by the author (does not provide information directly about the author), and a developmental site for new writers (does not provide information directly about the author). To show that the author is notable, we would need news articles directly about the author (Author Fanning releases new book, Local Author enjoys success, something like that) or articles that talk about the author's body of work as a whole.

An added concern is conflict of interest, as you claim to be the author in question. Well and good - but, with all due respect, it may be difficult for you to maintain a neutral point of view when discussing yourself. If you meet the project's notability guidelines, chances are good that someone else will write an article about you - but, unfortunately, consensus appears to indicate that you do not (yet!) meet those requirements, and it is possible that the article will be deleted. With a second novel in the pipeline, though, that may be temporary.

I hope this helps, as your comments at talk:Mo Fanning seemed to indicate that you were not clear on why the article was nominated for deletion. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page with any questions. Best, UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
