Colm Magner article deadlink.
The link from the newsletter at peica.ca is no longer active. This can be handled in a couple of different ways. First, we could find a new link to it (not sure they still have the newsletters online, the structure of the site appears to have changed). Secondly if you have the date for the newsletter, the reference can be changed to information about that newsletter (month year and name of newsletter, i guess. Alternately, if the information is at the artists listing at http://peica.ca/en2/displayartist.asp?aid=MAGC, perhaps that could be substituted.Naraht (talk) 15:34, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Mugs20. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Colm Magner, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 18:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Image
I cropped the image over at commons but the copyright holder still needs to licence it. This is usually the photographer or you if you used a timer or remote shutter release. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-3.0 is a very common licence. You will need to email http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OTRS if it has been published elsewhere before here.--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:55, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Image licence
We almost have it acceptable. I left a licence template prepped with a note on the image page at commons. Just remove the 'tl|' from the template to activate it. You need to do this as the copyright holder. It should actually go in the licencing section below but I can move it after you activate it.--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:01, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You missed one pipe character -> | but I think commons will accept that you added the licence template. I have a twitter friend that is a student and photographer in NYC if you ever need local work done. I haven't got a clue what she would charge though. Starving student prices maybe and her work is really good.--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:18, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
