Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, Isaackendall, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Jeannie Kanakos does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Drmies (talk) 18:20, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Please review Image use policy: you can only upload images if you have a copyright clearance. You cannot simply save an image from a website and then upload it to Wikipedia (or Wikimedia Commons). Thank you, Drmies (talk) 19:33, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is licenced under a free content licence which means that, apart from a very few narrowly defined exceptions, we cannot use images which are not licenced under a free content licence. The vast majority of the material on the internet therefore cannot be used in Wikipedia articles, especially not material taken from news websites. You should not be uploading such material unless you are sure that its copyright status is compatible with Wikipedia's. If you do it will be deleted. Hut 8.5 19:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Scott Hamilton
Just a couple of notes for you about your recent edits to Scott Hamilton:

- Bearcat (talk) 21:30, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) I've applied some formatting cleanup to the article, in accordance with Wikipedia's manual of style. We need to follow proper encyclopedic writing format, which includes not capitalizing job titles, referring to people by their WP:LASTNAME rather than their first name in body text, and providing most information in prose form rather than as bulleted lists.
 * 2) Under our rules about privacy of names, we follow a policy of protecting the privacy of our article topics' personal lives. It's acceptable to mention that Mr. Hamilton has a wife and kids, for example, but we don't publish their names unless media sources are available to demonstrate that the information is directly relevant to his public career (e.g. if his wife was also an MLA, and thus also had a Wikipedia article to link to.) The point of this is to protect his family from the intrusions into their personal privacy that having a Wikipedia article may entail — trust me, you'd be shocked at some of the stunts people have pulled on here to "expose" or intrude into people's private lives — so in most cases we protect the privacy of people's families by not naming them at all unless they become directly relevant to his public career. Thanks.

File permission problem with File:Scott Hamilton 2013.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Scott Hamilton 2013.jpg, which you've attributed to Candidate's official Facebook page. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 22:37, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Scott Hamilton of Delta.png

This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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. Eeekster (talk) 23:26, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
