Patrick Earl Hammie
Hi Jnoonan,

I was just doing a final check before heading off to bed when I noticed that you recreated the Patrick Earl Hammie article that I speedily deleted earlier as blatant spam. While I'm overjoyed to see such dedication so early on, I have to be honest with you and say that from what I've seen of the new article so far, it can still be deleted under the promotional criterion. Rather than delete it, though, I thought I'd come here and try to help you identify what needs to be improved.

If you haven't already, you should take a quick read through those links in the previous paragraph to get an idea of what editors and admins look for when tagging articles for speedy deletion. In the case of WP:CSD, the spam/promotion criterion, the keyword is "exclusively promote some entity"--that is, pages which are less neutral and encyclopedic than they are...well, promotional. Since the specific definition of this admittedly vague term can vary from admin to admin, I maintain a page explaining the criteria I use when performing speedy deletions.

In this case, it is the language that most needs fixing; to put it bluntly, the article is written like a pamphlet at an art exhibit. Phrases like "...blend the figurative traditions of the Old Masters with an acute awareness of contemporary art practices" and "He uses the landscape of the body to visualize the effort to transcend typical masculine ideals, cultural perceptions, and reconcile inner duality." have no place in an encyclopedia written for a general audience. Rather, you should focus on first providing the basic information: who he is and why he is notable. While it's fine to discuss the artistic merits of his work in the proper context (and using neutral terms that foster understanding in a general audience), you need to make sure that these claims are backed up--otherwise, it's just original research or, in situations like this where notability is not established, an apparent attempt at promotion/obfuscation.

I'm sorry if this is not particularly clear, but it's a bit past my bedtime and I must be getting off. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I promise I'll do my best to answer them when I have a clear head. Good luck! -- jonny - m t  16:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Slip 2008.JPG


A tag has been placed on File:Slip 2008.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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 23:49, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Keep drawing 2008.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Keep drawing 2008.JPG, which you've attributed to Patrick Earl Hammie. 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 created 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:39, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
