File source and copyright licensing problem with File:KOKOLO 2010.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:KOKOLO 2010.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 uploaded by following this link. 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 15:40, 28 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 15:40, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

hi everyone. i am starting to build this page and it is taking me a little bit of time to find the references etc. unfortunately before i even got the chance to reference the content it is being marked for deletion. apologies for any inconvenience but please understand i am just starting out on these kinds of things

If you are still working on the article, you may want to consider going to the AfD Discussion page for the article and requesting to move the article to your user space (see WP:USERFY) so you have time to work it up. If you do that, you will still need to establish notability, you will probably want to review WP:MUSIC, WP:GNG, and WP:SOURCES. Also, when you make a comment, remember to sign it by typing (~) at the end. Good luck. (GregJackP (talk) 15:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC))thanks. will try to figure it out. regarding notability, this individual has been a key figure in underground world music in the u.s.. not saying the person is einstein exactly but there are thousands of references to his work and impact on the genres of afrobeat and its current revival(FunkyNYC (talk) 18:37, 25 February 2010 (UTC))

Ray Lugo
Hi it is unreviewed at present. I unreviewed it due to this earwig copyvio tool result here. I didn't speedy it because the discogs source is unreliable so they may have copied it from earlier version on Wikipedia but it might be best if you changed the earwig red wording, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 17:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Ray Lugo
Hi, I'm Atlantic306. FunkyNYC, thanks for creating Ray Lugo!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi, thanks for addressing the cpyv concern, can you add some extra references such as for the early life section which is unreferenced. Thanks for adding good content to Wikipedia.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
