License tagging for Image:Joeacosta.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joeacosta.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 07:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Joedeluxxe, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. The Joe Acosta article you wrote needs significant improvement to meet the standards of an encyclopedia. Currently it is written in part in the first person, as noted in the maintenance tags I put on it. Do not remove these without fixing the problems associated with them. Doing so is a form of vandalism. Please improve the article's quality or leave the tags alone to notify someone else that it needs to be cleaned up, thanks. Here are some general tips for editing:
 * First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
 * Learn how Articles for deletion works.
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button.
 * Provide an Edit summary.
 * Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
 * Create a User page.
 * Be bold.
 * Ignore all rules.
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this:. Four tildes(~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull;(talk) 07:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Joe Acosta

 * 1) I have reason to believe that you are Joe Acosta. Wikipedia has a policy about autobiographies which can be found at WP:AUTO. They are generally discouraged and usually end up getting deleted for violations of the policies outlined in the maintenance tags currently on the article. Fixing the problems noted on those tags greatly increases the likelihood of the article being kept
 * 2) You may not have noticed this, but every time you edit an article you are notified of the license that Wikipedia's content is released under. Wikipedia uses the GNU Free Documentation License. In short this means that the content of Wikipedia can be sold by anyone with no monetary compensation to the contributors. You seem to have copied your website verbatim, but as there is no copyright notice on it, I haven't tagged this article as a copyright violation because you may be wishing to release you website into the public domain. I want you to know, however, that by copying it into Wikipedia, you are releasing it under the terms of the GFDL. If this is not acceptable to you, please rewrite the article. Also, please provide source and licensing information for the pictures you uploaded or they will be deleted. Wikipedia is not a web host. Please address at least some of these concerns in the next few days or I will tag the article for deletion. Thank you. &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull;(talk) 22:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The article looks good now. I think it will survive the deletion debate. It is quite hard to write neutrally about yourself and things you are involved in. I would suggest not adding much more material to the article directly. You can post things on the talk page for the article and alert someone else to paraphrase it. Doing so allows for a more NPOV. But I really wouldn't worry too much. Like I said, it looks good now.&mdash;WAvegetarian&bull;(talk) 08:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Joedeluxxe! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

File permission problem with File:Polsmall.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Polsmall.jpg. 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 12:46, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
