Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cover asobiseksu-web.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cover asobiseksu-web.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of LIVE Quadraphonic


A tag has been placed on LIVE Quadraphonic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.pedalfuzz.com/music-news/2018-5-16-suzanne-ciani-releases-live-quadraphonic-album-via-limited-pressing-vinyl. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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.

KamranV moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, KamranV, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Perryprog (talk) 23:15, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Additionally, writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged—please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. Perryprog (talk) 23:20, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Email exchange
This is a copy of some of the emails I had with Kamranv, posting here with permission for the sake of transparency. Perryprog (talk) 02:34, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Continued discussion
, as there's a lot to discuss in response to that I'll have to get to it later—it's getting a bit late for me, anyway. The main thing to answer is your understanding of the publishing standard isn't wrong, it's just that the process of creating an article should be done through the Articles for Creation process (see the fourth bullet of WP:COIEDIT). Perryprog (talk) 02:34, 28 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you, again. When I originally made the article, I thought that I was following the articles of creation guidelines. Was there a tag or some posting process technicality that I missed? When I read the instructions, it seems like I followed the guidelines.  KamranV (talk) 14:23, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Since seems to be helping work through the AFC process, I'm just going to add that it might be a good idea for you to look at Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:Wikipedia is in the real world. If an article is created about you it will because the Wikipedia community feels that you satisfy Wikipedia:Notability to support a stand-alone article. Your permission isn't really needed for someone to create such an article, which in turn means that it won't be "your article" in the sense that you will have any kind of editorial control over it. In fact, you yourself will be expected to not directly edit the article except in some certain specific cases, but will be expected instead to seek assistance from other uninvolved editors when you have concerns about the article's content. Article content (positive or negative) will be assessed on whether it's in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, not whether it's what the subject of the article wants. Many people misunderstand this when they try to create articles about themselves, or other people or things they are connected to, and they only find out later that there can be a downside to being written about on Wikipedia. Please understand that I'm not trying to discourage you, but rather only trying to point some things out about Wikipedia that you might not know. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:45, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I understand the double edged nature of Wikipedia. Again, I’m simply doing this by request and to add context to the resurgence of quadraphonic music and interest around spacial sound. I will ask them to attempt to navigate wiki if they so choose too however if one of you editors would like to instead, I suppose it would be a more credible article since we have never met.  KamranV (talk) 16:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi again. You posted something similar to Again, I’m simply doing this by request and to add context to the resurgence of quadraphonic music and interest around spacial sound at the Wikipedia Teahouse, but never responded to a question about it. Who is asking you to create a Wikipedia article about KamranV? Are you the same "KamranV" you're trying to create an article about? Are you someone else and was asked by KamranV to create an article about him? If you're not the same KamranV and you want to try and create an article about him, then that's OK but you're going to need to change your username per WP:REALNAME. You'll almost certainly still have a conflict-of-interest, but at least people will not automatically assume that you're trying to create an article about yourself. If you're the same KamranV, then that's OK and you can use your real name or professional name as your user name; you might, however, want to consider emailing Wikimedia OTRS and verifying your identity. That way people will know it's really you they are discussing and not someone claiming to be you. This is optional, but sometimes it helps avoid confusion and actually makes it easier for other editors to help sort through problems. As for the draft you're working on, you can continue to do so at your own pace as long as you don't leave it unedited for more than six months; you can also re-submit it to WP:AFC for review when you think it's ready. There's no limit on the number of times a draft can be submitted for review and you should be fine as long as you don't keep re-submitting the same declined version over and over again. If you want assistance from editors who might be familiar with this genre of article or your genre of music, try looking for some WikiProjects that might cover this. You can try asking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians, but perhaps there are others as well. If you feel that Wikipedia has too many restrictions on what you're trying to do, then there are WP:ALTERNATIVEs that might be better suited to your needs or the needs of the people asking you to create content. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello @marchjuly I am indeed the same kamranv from the teahouse. Per your suggestion, I emailed OTRS to validate myself. As you may have seen the referenced articles a handful of the journalists and some of the people who have organized public speaking engagements for me have suggested that a wiki page be made. Not knowing how complicated it is, this is my attempt to fulfill that. I looked at the wikiprojects page and found quadraphonic sound to be the closest subject. What do I do to appropriately solicit editors associated with this article? How can I tell who is a legit editor or inexperienced like me? Thank you so much for the guidance.  KamranV (talk) 23:21, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Quadraphonic sound is an Wikipedia:Article, not a Wikipedia:WikiProject. A WikiProject is a group of editors who have joined up to work together on improving certain things about Wikipedia. Sometimes these are people who have lots of real world knowledge about a particular subject matter or maybe they're just really interested in a particular subject matter. The focus of a WikiProject can be pretty much anything from a certain type or genre of article, to certain types of maintenance or cleanup, or just a shared interest that somehow is Wikipedia related. You can find a list of current WikiProjects at Wikipedia:WikiProject Directory. If you check the top of Talk:Quadraphonic sound, you see a banner for Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional sound production. So, if you find an article that you think relates to what you do, check it's talk page for a WikiProject banner; then, check the WikiProject's page to see if covers the things you do. Some projects have lots of members and are quite active, while others not so much. Basically, if you find a WikiProject that covers the kinds of things you feel you're Wikipedia notable for, you can try posting on the project's talk page and asking for help. If you get lucky, you might find someone who would be interested in helping create an article. You can also try Wikipedia:Requested articles for a more general approach.There's really no way to tell how experienced someone is for sure, but you can sometimes get a feel by looking at their user page or user talk page. There are editors who've been editing for years, but their experience and understanding is rather limited; on the other hand, there are editors who are relatively new who pick up things quickly and seem to have a good feel for how policies and guidelines should be applied. Generally, you tend to get a good mix of editors in a WikiProject which is why it can often be a good place to seek assistance.Finally, please don't take this the wrong way, but the people who suggested that you create a Wikipedia article about yourself probably misunderstand what Wikipedia is about; they probably meant well, but just aren't aware of things like Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. One last thing, if an article isn't created about you, it's isn't the end of the world. As I posted previously, most people who want Wikipedia articles created about them really overestimate the benefits such a thing will bring them. In most cases, they'd be much better off having total control over what's written about them by using a WP:ALTERNATIVE instead. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:00, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

All of this is very helpful however it doesn’t appear that the folks commenting on quadraphonic sound are also on the list of project professionals. I’m at a loss. I suppose I will just give up at this point. People can just use google, I suppose. Thank you and everyone else for the education. KamranV (talk) 16:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Suzanne Ciani
Hello, Kamranv. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Suzanne Ciani, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Marchjuly (talk) 21:00, 28 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Trying my best here. Correcting inaccuracies. KamranV (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That's OK KamranV. Even though it might seems as such, nobody is really trying to make your life difficult. However, you do seem to have some kind of professional relationship with Ciani based upon some of the content you added to the article as well as some of your posts on Wikimedia Commons. So, it would probably be best for you to follow the advice given here and here and avoid directly editing the article (particularly if you're editing/adding content about you and projects you collaborated with Ciani on) and instead make edit requests on the article's talk page. This will gave another editor a chance to look over the changs you want to make and assess whether they are in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:33, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
