User talk:NitromanX

Welcome
Hello, NitromanX, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Rod Edwards, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! - MrX 13:33, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Rod Edwards Wikipedia entry
Hi again !

I'm user NitromanX but trying to write about myself as a professional photographer - Rod Edwards.

Sadly the username Rod Edwards has already gone to a musician in Holland.

What do you suggest I do as i'd like a non user name entry into Wikipedia about my photography and 360 degree interactive panoramas.

Much appreciate your advice !

Thanks !

 * Welcome to Wikipedia. Because this is an encyclopedia project, we discourage people from writing articles about themselves. If you are a notable person, meaning that newspapers, magazines and books have written about you, then an article may be justified. Please be aware that PROMOTION of any sort is not allowed. - MrX 14:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Rod Edwards Portrait.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rod Edwards Portrait.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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. Stefan2 (talk) 23:23, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
