Notability of Jimmy Demers
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Jimmy Demers, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Jimmy Demers seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Jimmy Demers, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

File copyright problem with File:Jimmy Press.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Jimmy Press.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:29, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Donnie Demers Current.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Donnie Demers Current.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 17:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

RE: File:Donnie Demers Current.jpg
Better, but where did you find the image? Did you take it? –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 20:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Great! One final question: You are aware that the GFDL, which you licensed the image under here, allows anyone to use the image for any purpose as long as they credit you, including allowing derivative and commercial use? –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 22:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry about that speedy deletion thing. The person who tagged it wasn't aware we were already discussing things.
 * Anyways, since the image appears on MySpace at, I think we need some more evidence of the licensing; specifically, proof that the image is GFDL licensed; we can't just take your word for it, because we have no way of verifying that you are indeed the copyright holder. Now, I'm not sure how MySpace works, but would it be possible for you to mark the image as being available under the GFDL (or, preferably, the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license) either as part of the image description, or by posting a comment using the same account that uploaded the image? Just a little text like "This image is released under the GNU Free Documentation License v1.2 or any later version" would be sufficient.
 * I know this is probably annoying; I just want to help verify that the image is allowed to be here. Due to the number of images which are uploaded to Wikipedia without permission, we have some rules to help prevent copyright violations. Unfortunately, these can also be a hassle for people legitimately uploading images.
 * (Also, one general note since you're relatively new here. When you post a comment on a talk page, such as my talk page or here, type four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your comment to sign it). –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 22:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright! I think that that is it! I'll go and update the image description page with the correct info. Thank you so much! If you ever want to upload more images in the future, feel free to ask me if you're unsure of licensing or anything. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 23:32, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Donnie Demers Current.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Donnie Demers Current.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello, I'm CityOfSilver. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Donnie Demers without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  City O f  Silver  19:17, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * For that matter, are you Donnie or Jimmy Demers?  City O f  Silver  19:43, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Someone else removed a large portion of the DONNIE DEMERS page on 3/18/2017 reducing it to poor grammar and removing key points from that page. We have just updated and re-formatted the page and are now trying to implement that so that it is fitting with Wikipedia's format. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicalwheels (talk • contribs) 19:45, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * (Above message cut and pasted from my talk.)


 * I'm assuming you mean this edit, which was done by me. I strongly dispute your characterization of the result as "poor grammar and removing key points," since other than a capitalization error I mistakenly didn't fix, I can't see a single grammatical error and the "key points" I removed were blatantly promotional. I've linked you to our policy on using Wikipedia to promote already and you're persisting in adding text that you know violates policy.


 * And I hate to press the issue but I asked you a question and you haven't answered it. Are you Donnie or Jimmy Demers?  City O f  Silver  20:25, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, My name is John O'Connor and I am the administrator at Musical Wheels Music. I apologize if you were offended by my comments. The intent was not to offend, rather than to explain. This line: "Demers first began playing the piano on a toy when he was four." ON A TOY? On a toy what? The line is ambiguous and it shouldn't be. Additionally, this line: "At the same age, Demers, a muscular dystrophy sufferer" is not only incorrect, it's offensive. Additionally, you've chopped important milestones in Mr. Demers' career, which are legitimate songwriter credits and not matters of promotion. I modified the page this morning to use an updated format. Instead of chopping the page and ending it midway in Mr. Demers' career, perhaps you could have solicited your recommendations first? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicalwheels (talk • contribs) 21:07, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * You’re the administrator at Demers’s music publishing company, meaning that's a pretty clear conflict of interest. See WP:COI. That's not ideal but we can still get things done. Your username, though, is a big problem. I'm not sure why but admins here are really impatient with any username that even might be promotional. You need to go here and ask to change it ASAP because any admin who happens to see this could block you with no warning.


 * As for the content issues...


 * If I’m playing piano on a toy, I think it’s obviously a toy piano because what other toy can I play piano on? If it’s a xylophone or a harpsichord, isn’t that "playing xylophone" or "playing harpsichord?"


 * "Additionally, this line: 'At the same age, Demers, a muscular dystrophy sufferer' is not only incorrect, it's offensive." I won’t dispute the idea that it's offensive. This was my amateur attempt to gently say that he has muscular dystrophy. Let me know on the talk page what it should say. (This is the problem with COI editing: with almost no exceptions, they don’t want you editing the article.) I strongly disagree that it’s incorrect because Demers himself says he has muscular dystrophy.


 * "Additionally, you've chopped important milestones in Mr. Demers' career, which are legitimate songwriter credits and not matters of promotion." I still stand by the removals because whatever your intent, I can't see how you concluded that the stuff I removed complies with the WP:PROMO policy.  City O f  Silver  22:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Also, per the message you just left where you referred to yourself as "we:" please see WP:NOSHARING. If there's more than one person working on this, the number of accounts needs to reflect that.  City O f  Silver  22:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
