Help me!
,

Please help me with translating my article from Polish to English User:MJesio/Thing_Trunk. --I use Cytuj (Cite web in English) with only reliable sources among gamers and game developers (like Rock Paper Shotgun, 80.lv, Gamasutra etc) with several additions of other minor pages to support those (like polish KRS site which belongs to government, and one or two blog posts from the developer I'm describing) and see the warning about no references. I thought at first that one of the editors reviewed my draft and added the szablon/template) before I got translated it, but no, I don't see anything like this in the Source code of the article.

I used Content Translation tool but after I discovered that it is not functional I saved my article as a draft and continue editing it. I see that the tool didn't convert the "tags" used in the polish site (like Cytuj to Cite web) - might that be a problem? With several reference links, it is a huge amount of work...

 * Edit// Oh my... It was a bot who changed every tag from Cytuj to Cite web - great thanks, but now I have to merge my work...
 * OK, after merging and allowing the bot to change tags once again the template with missing references is once again here. Any thoughts?MJesio (talk) 10:01, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Book of Demons - Flexiscope system.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Book of Demons - Flexiscope system.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The above also applies to File:Book of Demons game - Town screen.png and File:Book of Demons - Level view.png. Just for reference, you shouldn't claim a screenshot of a video game as your "own" work, unless you actually hold the copyright on the game. You could probably use Template:Non-free use rationale video game screenshot, but non-free content can only be used in articles per Wikipedia non-free content use criteria #9, so you cannot use any of these files on User:MJesio/Book of Demons. You should also be aware that while one screenshot is generally considered acceptable per Wikipedia's non-free content use policy, multiple screen shots from the same game are much harder to justify per non-free content use criteria #3 and non-free content use criteria #8. You probably should ask for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games regarding the use of in-game screenshots. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:36, 8 February 2018 (UTC) ‎


 * Hello, Marchjuly! Thank you for your time. I've received the permission from the developer to use it in my article (after I uploaded the images as "own", I found later that they require the permission to be used), but I suppose it does not change the media to free use. If I will receive the permission to use them under free use license (I suppose that I will, since the developer was excited to hear I'm writing the article about their game), where I should place the screenshot of the permission (or its text) and how could I change the license on existing media? Delete the media and upload them once again or just edit their descriptions? I'm not a native English speaker so all the legal/law terms are difficult to understand to me, sorry for the little chaos here. MJesio (talk) 11:31, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The original copyright needs to be aware that releasing something under a free license accepted by Wikipedia basically means that they are giving advance permission for anyone anywhere in the world to download the file and then reuse it pretty much for any reason they want (including for commercial purposes). The copyright holder cannot use a license which says "For Wikipedia only" or "For non-commercial use only", "For person A's use only", etc. The copyright holder also needs to understand that a free licence cannot be revoked or taken back after the fact. So, even if the file is someday removed from Wikipedia or Commons, the license will remain in effect for anyone who downloaded the file under said license.
 * If the original copyright holder understands these things and a willing to still release the image under a free license, then attaching screenshots or file containing the permission to the existing file is not going to be sufficient. They will need to do one of two things; (1) they can simply reupload a better quality of the image to Wikimedia Commons per c:Commons:Upload, or (2) they can email Wikimedia OTRS an explicit declaration of consent for the screenshot(s) per c:COM:OTRS.
 * Finally, one last thing about Wikipedia. You should be aware of Wikipedia:Ownership of content because there are no "my articles" on Wikipedia per se. In other words, nobody has any individual ownership right over article content and articles can techincally be edited by anyone anywhere in the world at anytime as long as the edits are in accordance with relevant policy a guidelines. Neither you as the article creator nor Thing Trunk as the game's creator will have any ultimate final editorial control over the content of the article. This is an important thing about Wikipedia that many people, companies and organiztions often misunderstand or are not aware of. You should also be aware of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Paid editing disclosure if by chance you have some kind of professional or personal connection to Thing Trunk or their products. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:23, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the long delay :) Thank you for the explanation,Marchjuly. It seems to be a too much hustle to me (I understand that the developers will have to upload screenshots themeselves and then contact me add them/do that themeselves... and the developers didn't respond to my last e-mail), so I will let the article without visualisation :) Last step - fixing typos :) MJesio (talk) 16:28, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
