Speedy deletion nomination of File:Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Gloria C. Duffy official photo.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Gloria C. Duffy official photo.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.

Replaceable fair use File:Rod Diridon, Sr. photo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rod Diridon, Sr. photo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 15:47, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Rod Diridon, Sr. photo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Rod Diridon, Sr. photo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:52, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Atlantic306. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not add unreferenced material to WP:BLPs, inline citations are required Atlantic306 (talk) 14:42, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Dear Atlantic306 - Thank you for your comments. However, you are editing out statements that are in fact referenced and also editing out material in real time while I am adding the references. Please wait until I finish adding the references to edit or comment, or I will not be able to complete the referencing because the article keeps reverting to an earlier version without the information that I am referencing. This is interfering with the process of documenting the article. Thank you! Globalglo (talk) 16:37, 3 July 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.79.72.249 (talk) 14:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)  I have now referenced virtually all information in the article. I appreciate your input and would be grateful if in the future you would mark any specific information you believe needs a citation and leave it for me to address, rather than reverting whole sections of the article. I am very happy to improve the citations. Thank you!!Globalglo (talk) 16:37, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding the references, the article is much better now. Wikipedia is not permitted as a reference ( because it is user-generated and can be inaccurate) so the wikipedia references need replacing but the other refs seem fine, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 17:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)


 * OK thanks. I will replace any Wikipedia citations with outside refs in the next few hours.  Thanks for your patience! GlobalgloGlobalglo (talk) 18:12, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Your connection to articles you have edited
Hello @Globalglo. I noticed that you've made quite extensive contributions to a small number of articles over the past 15+ years. It seems that most of your contributions have been to the articles on the Commonwealth Club of California; its longtime president, Gloria Duffy; her husband, Rod Diridon; her alma mater, Occidental College; and the college's longtime president Jonathan Veitch.

There's nothing wrong with focusing your editing on a small group of connected articles, but sometimes this can be a sign that an editor has a personal connection to the subjects of those articles that should be declared. I would like to encourage you to read the Wikipedia guideline on conflicts of interest. There are quite a few scenarios that might raise COI concerns. Some of the most common ones are when an editor works on an article about themself, a relative, or a person or organization with which they have an external relationship. There's a similar issue when someone is being paid to edit Wikipedia. If, after reading the COI guideline, you recognize that you have a conflict, the guideline provides advice on how you should approach future editing of Wikipedia articles. In that scenario, it would be helpful to understand how such a conflict might color your earlier contributions to these articles.

Of course, it's entirely possible that you have no conflict in relation to these articles and they are merely the topics that interest you. If so it would be good to know that, too, so that future editors of those articles are appropriately informed. Many thanks. Rupert Clayton (talk) 20:22, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
