File permission problem with File:Viola Smith - drummer for Coquettes.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Viola Smith - drummer for Coquettes.jpg, which you've attributed to Viola Smith. 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:18, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

This message also applies to File:Viola Smith - drummer for Schmitz Sisters Orchestra of Mt Calvary - January 1930.jpg. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Your edits
Helpful information for my reference: one of the reverts removed a source, that by 96.11.3.60.

How do you cite your own eyewitness accounts? You don't. Please read our reliable source guideline. --NeilN talk to me 16:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Viola Smith and Her 17 Drums Orchestra.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Viola Smith and Her 17 Drums Orchestra.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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:34, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ellen Greene, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. see WP:DOB Waxworker (talk) 14:58, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0338746/bio/
 * I believe IMDB is a reliable resourse since the info is closely monitored, but I need help with citing or you are welcome to do it. Joplinplayer (talk) 15:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * IMDB is an unreliable source per WP:IMDB as it is WP:USERGENERATED. Waxworker (talk) 16:54, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
