Speedy deletion nomination of Anne Gamble Kennedy


A tag has been placed on Anne Gamble Kennedy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Class 455 ( talk |stand clear of the doors!)  22:57, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

I see that John W. Work (as listed in the article) is listed in Wikipedia as "John Wesley Work." I hope he can be linked to Anne Gamble's article. Yes it is the same person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.141.130 (talk) 02:39, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Creating autobiographies
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. 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 an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Creating new articles
Creating new articles from a blank start is one of the harder tasks on Wikipedia. In future I urge you to use the Article Wizard to create a draft under the Articles for Creation project. There, an experienced editor will review your draft once you think it is ready. Only when a reviewer approves will the draft be moved to the main article space. This avoids the situation where a deletion is requested soon after the initial version of an article is posted. Also, please read Wikipedia's Golden Rule and Your First Article, if you have not already done so. The advice there can be very helpful, in my view. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 01:58, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Congratulations, you have now created a valid Wikipedia article. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 01:58, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * First, review our guideline on notability, our policy on Verifiability, and our specific guideline on the notability of people. Consider whether your  subject  clearly meets the standards listed there.
 * Second, read how to create Your First Article and referencing for beginners and again consider if you want to go ahead.
 * Third,  This is absolutely required; omitting it can result in you being blocked from further editing. 
 * Fourth, gather sources. You want independent, professionally published, reliable sources with each discussing the subject in some detail. If you can't find several such sources, stop; an article will not be created! Sources do NOT need to be online, or in English, although it is helpful if at least some are. The "independent" part is vital. Wikipedia does not consider as independent sources such as press releases, or news stories based on press releases, or anything published by the subject itself or an affiliate of the subject. Strictly local coverage is also not preferred. Regional or national newspapers or magazines, books published by mainstream publishers (not self-published), or scholarly journals are usually good. So are online equivalents of these. (Additional sources may verify particular statements but not discuss the subject in detail. But those significant detailed sources are needed first.)
 * Fifth, use the article wizard to create a draft under the articles for creation project. This is always a good idea for an inexperienced editor, but in the case of an editor with a conflict of interest it is essential.
 * Sixth, use the sources gathered before (and other sources you may find along the way) to write the article. Cite all significant statements to sources. Do not express opinions or judgements, unless they are explicitly attributed to named people or entities, preferably in a direct quotation, and cited to a source. Do not use puffery or marketing-speak. Provide page numbers, dates, authors and titles for sources to the extent these are available. A title is always needed.
 * Seventh, when (well perhaps if) your draft is declined, pay attention to the comments of the reviewer, and correct the draft and resubmit it. During this whole process, if you face any unresolvable editing hurdles, or cannot comprehend any editing issue, feel free to post a request and ask the regulars. Repeat this until the draft passes review.

Henry Floyd Gamble
The article to a large degree was copy-pasted from here. That's a copyright violation. I thus unfortunately had to delete the page. I expect Gamble meets Wikipedia's standards of inclusion, but we'd need to write an article that summarizes in our own words what reliable secondary sources report about him. Copy-pasting non-free content is not acceptable on Wikipedia. I'll try and rewrite the page from scratch. Huon (talk) 22:03, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Even when you acknowledge and reference the source?Nina07011960 (talk)
 * Yes - you cannot copy text straight from a source like that; you need to paraphrase it, or (in the case where you're quoting someone), follow the guideline here to do so properly. If you have any more questions, please let one of us know and we'll be happy to answer them and help you :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:10, 6 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes. Would you think acknowledging the source would make it OK to create pirated copies of a film or a song? It's not OK for text either. Huon (talk) 22:10, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Nina07011960, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Henry Floyd Gamble have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Amortias (T)(C) 22:08, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia's "conflict of interest" guideline
If you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your business, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is.

There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

YOUR DOB
Nina, just a passing observation. It is totally obvious that your date of birth is either 7/1/1960 or 1/7/1960. It is also totally obvious that this article is about you.

You're opening yourself up to a very high risk of identity theft. I strongly advise you to immediately rename your wikipedia profile, or just delete it completely and open a new one. What your doing is dangerous and you may not realise it yet.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Fisk Jubilee Singers into Music of Tennessee. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Huon, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Links, Incorporated


A tag has been placed on The Links, Incorporated 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.linksinc.org/about.shtml. 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.

Thank you so much! You see how much they've fought me on some of my articles. They accept the men's articles without question, yet put me through hell for the women's articles. I explained that Ella Sheppard did not receive credit for her published arrangements since she was considered to be an "assistant" for the Fisk Jubilee Singers. We had to use her journals and eye-witness accounts for proof of her contributions. But those were called "invalid sources." I was furious! Nina07011960 (talk) 16:54, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

File:Matthew Washington Kennedy, classical pianist, director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:15, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Matthew Kennedy and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Matthew Kennedy and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.jpg, which you've attributed to Fisk University Library, Special Collections. Matthew Kennedy Estate..

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.

The Noshing with Nina Show moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, The Noshing with Nina Show, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Proposed deletion of Matthew Kennedy: One Man's Journey


The article Matthew Kennedy: One Man's Journey has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. Article was created by the film's director, who has a long history of promotional editing. All of the reliable sourcing either is actually about the subject (AKA doesn't mention the documentary at all) or are passing mentions in relation to a non-notability conferring award it received at the Nashville Film Festival."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:The Noshing with Nina Show


A tag has been placed on Draft:The Noshing with Nina Show, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. GPL93 (talk) 01:41, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

One Man's Journey
I had a look through a number of resources but I was unable to find any reviews or notices about Matthew Kennedy: One Man's Journey. I suspect the film has not been shown theatrically or widely, thus the lack of reviews. In light of that, I suggested that the article be merged with his bio. When the time comes that the film receives some substantial reviews, maybe creating a separate article on the film might be considered. - kosboot (talk) 01:14, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

This is exactly the problem I've been writing about all along. It was widely covered in the black press, but the major "white" press ignored it. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. Nina07011960 (talk) 01:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Are there links from the "black press" you mention, or was it mostly covered in print journalism? Vermont (talk) 02:18, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

User:Vermont Yes, it was print journalism. Some have gone out of business. In fact, you inspired me to search for this one: Nina07011960 (talk) 04:55, 21 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, if it's been covered, then add the coverage. Currently I don't see any publications on the article that suggest it hasn't been covered by "regular" press.  - kosboot (talk) 10:43, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

The coverage that I know of has been included. The NPR interview happened because a black woman Michel Martin insisted upon it. The "press" needs more African Americans on staff! Nina07011960 (talk) 17:59, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
