T-shirt image

Image copyright problem with Image:Logo color.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Logo color.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 19:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Sew Fast/Sew Easy article
The company information you added to the Stitch 'n Bitch article is not relevant to the term stitch 'n bitch. It may warrant its own article, but I see that article location has been protected due to violations of Wikipedia's policies.

I'm willing to work with you on making a new version of the Sew Fast Sew Easy article that conforms to Wikipedia's policies, if you'd like. I'd suggest working on the article in your own userspace, first: User:Ggarvin/Sew Fast Sew Easy would work. One important thing to look for is evidence of what Wikipedia defines as notability: significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Any coverage of the business in newspapers, magazines, etc. (that is not advertising by the business itself) counts. The coverage does not need to be online, although many readers prefer online material because it is easier to verify. Once we're happy with the condition of the article, I may have some of the admins that have been involved in the past look it over, or we may take it to WP:Deletion review before going live with it. LyrlTalk C 01:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Sew Fast Sew Easy is known in just about every design house and to potential fashion design students in NYC. We have more than 15 years in business with a significant amount of coverage in the press. May I put the content in the ggarvin/sewfastseweasy page for you to review with references? Also, we should not be removed from the Stitch N Bitch article. This brand is a significant portion of our business that has been developed over a ten year period.


 * Yes, put the content in your userspace page and I'll review it. Most Wikipedia rules do not apply to userspace (any article where the name starts with User:Ggarvin/ ).  This space is yours to put whatever you like with very few restrictions.  There is no danger of it being changed or deleted without your permission.


 * I agree that not all mention of Sew Fast Sew Easy should be removed from the Stitch 'n Bitch article. We disagree on the amount of content that should be included, but I think that is something we can work out.  If you bring it up at Talk:Stitch 'n Bitch, that gives other interested editors the opportunity to provide input, also. LyrlTalk C 23:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Citing sources

 * Wikipedia is copyrighted under the GFDL. This license allows individuals or companies to copy Wikipedia articles and use them any way they see fit, as long as they give credit to Wikipedia authors.  Wikipedia itself has projects to distribute articles on CDs.  Only the articles are copied in these cases, so the articles have to be able to stand alone.  Treating the Sew Fast Sew Easy press page as an addendum to the Wikipedia article won't work - that page would not be copied in any use of Wikipedia articles.  So the references have to be included in the Wikipedia article itself.


 * It is preferable to cite the sources directly rather than merely refer to the Sew Fast Sew Easy press page because the direct sources are considered more reliable and thus make the article higher quality by Wikipedia standards. LyrlTalk C 02:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

While it is preferable to cite sources directly rather that merely refer to the company press page because the direct sources are more reliable, how can you evaluate the reliability of books if there is no reference available or if a book is out of print. Then there is nothing to solidify a claim, correct? Not all things are available on the web. What should I give as a refences then? Issue number, article content? How will you verify these items that need citation if the press page is inadequate?

Additionally, the company is not in a legal dispute over the name. The fact of the matter is we own a registered trademark and have an application in for a second trademark. If you used a product similar to or like Disney or Warner Brothers, there would be no legal dispute but it would be said that the company acted to protect its rights as an owner. We are not in a legal dispute. We own our trademark. Debbie Stoller iniated legal proceedings against Sew Fast Sew Easy because she was denied. We are diligently working with Ms Stoller and her attorneys to explore ways we can resolve this action. Therefore, if this statement is NECESSARY for the content of the article, it should read - Sew Fast Sew Easy took action to prevent dilution of its registered trademark, or something closer to that statement. that is a fact and not a swayed statement.

Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. Victoriagirl (talk) 19:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

the article is written in a neutral point of view and was previously removed because it read like an advertisement. This article with the timeline was approved by several administrators. None of the content is made to read like an advertisement. I have only added releases of products to the market as they take place and added additional reasons why this article and the company are notable.

I have not violated wikipedia rules. Again, this article was approved by several administrators for being non partial.--Ggarvin (talk) 21:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
