File source and copyright licensing problem with File:David speakers 220 wiki.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:David speakers 220 wiki.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 10:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Greetings
Hi there. Although you've been registered here a while, I thought I'd welcome you nonetheless.

Thanks for your work on the Rock n' Roll Fantasy Camp article, and congrats on launching David Fishof, which I see you've been working on for a while.

A couple of pointers, though:

Foremost, you seem to have a pretty focused topic of interest here, which is the fantasy camp and its founder. While that's generally fine, it does seem rather obvious that you either are this person, or work for him, or otherwise have his interests in mind when editing. Wikipedia has rules about conflict of interest and using Wikipedia to promote a business. Although this topic has been your main focus I'd advise stepping back from it and letting neutral parties revise your work, to make sure it isn't seen as spam.

Also, you had your user page redirected to an article. That's generally not allowed, so I've reverted it, and placed a link on your page instead.

Let me know if you have any questions about this, or about anything else. You can reply right here below this message, or on my talk page. Hope to see you around! Equazcion ( talk ) 15:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear Equazcion,
Thank you for your expertise in editing my page. Taking into consideration that the following changes have been made:

(cur | prev) 20:50, 28 May 2010 Equazcion (talk | contribs) (5,961 bytes) (edited heavily to remove promotional language/content, misc CE, merged very short sections, removed IMDb and Wikipedia as invalid refs per WP:RS, rm "cultural ref" (youtube vid), rm non-existent image) (undo) (cur | prev) 20:26, 28 May 2010 Equazcion (talk | contribs) (8,078 bytes) (→Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp: no need for this list here, it's in the main article. also copy edited especially for less promotional language) (undo)

is it now possible to have the box removed from the page that states:

"A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page."?

You advised stepping back from it and letting neutral parties revise my work which I have thankfully done. Glad you have taken an interest as a drummer! Thanks again for all your hard work! Hope to see you around too!

Orphaned non-free media (File:David_speakers_220_wiki.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:David_speakers_220_wiki.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 07:20, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear Melesse
Thank you for your prompt response. Regarding the file David_speakers_220_wiki.jpg, the media is no longer orphaned. Thank you once again for your diligence.

Replaceable fair use File:David speakers 220 wiki.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:David speakers 220 wiki.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Theleftorium (talk) 11:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
