License tagging for File:Elaine Rapp in 1967.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Elaine Rapp in 1967.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Replaceable fair use File:Elaine Rapp in 1967.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Elaine Rapp in 1967.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 00:20, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Elaine Rapp in 1967.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Elaine Rapp in 1967.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license 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 , 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as 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. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:00, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Elaine Rapp
Hi there - firstly, my condolences for your loss.

We have a policy on Wikipedia to cite any facts which are reported to a reliable source (a publication with editorial oversight such as a newspaper), allowing readers to verify for themselves what is written. While this is always important, it is even more important when dealing with biographies of living (or recently deceased) people - we even have a special policy for it. This helps ensure that any material which is potentially damaging to someone is backed up by a publication which has a reputation for fact checking and editorial oversight; meaning people can't make up untrue information about someone. We're not a news website - it doesn't matter if we're simply out of date, but it does matter if we're wrong.

While I understand that this can be frustrating (especially so as someone close to them), but please try to think of it the other way around - a new (or unregistered) user changed the article to report a family member or close friend of yours was dead, when they were actually alive - it would probably be even more upsetting, especially if other people saw the article and took action such as publishing obituaries or sending condolence cards for someone who is still alive.

If you would like to restore the edit, and you have something from which other people can verify themselves (such as a newspaper obituary), then please go ahead and re-add it with the citation. stwalkerster (talk) 23:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Roy Scheider article
I was quite disappointed with the article on the late Roy Scheider. Whoever wrote it must be ignorant of theater, because that is where Scheider first made his mark -- not as an amateur boxer, which is barely significant -- and there is no mention of the theater whatsoever.

Take note of these obituary notices:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2008/feb/12/obituaries.usa

https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/11/movies/11scheider.html

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/actor-roy-scheider-dies-104589

Here is a man who studied acting, performed Shakespeare at the Public Theatre, and appeared in the original Broadway cast of Harold Pinter's Betrayal. No mention at all in Wikipedia.
