User talk:PB49230

Hi, PB49230.

Thank you! :) Sorry you had to wait so long for a reply; it took me a while to figure out how exactly to do it. The answer is: long and hard research! Well, about two years ago in 2011 was when I started looking for information on him and his films. I really couldn't really find much about him at all, hardly even pictures. I did find the "Jeanie" film online, and I watched it. Then I had an epiphany: why not look him up in online newspaper archives? So I did! Back then, newspaperarhive.com let you read 3 articles a day for free. So over time I copied some articles on paper, and other times I printed them out if there was a picture attached. But even when you read the old newspapers you have to be careful, because, of course, they don't always have their facts straight. For example, some newspapers reported that Bill dated Debbie Reynolds, but it wasn't him. They had him confused with Eddie Fisher. And you can look him up on other newspaper archives online, too. Just Google these words (no quote marks): 'newspaper archives free' and then you will see that people have collected them on websites, divided by state. It's pretty cool! But watch out, it can be frustrating, and some "pay" websites are snuck in there. Also try Google Books, and Google's archive of old newspapers. Just go to Google, type in his quoted name and then type 'site:news.google.com', and you'll get there. It's also helpful to Google 'site:newspapers.com' and type in his name in quotation marks. And you can go to the Media History Lantern, and on eBay. But remember to always go to any 'advanced search' functions you find, and type his name as "Bill Shirley" in quote marks for more relevance. Sometimes even "William" or "Billy" or "Billy J" work, too, as long as the surname "Shirley" follows. But take the results you find with a grain of salt, because his name is a LOT more common than you'd think! If you want to ask questions or see pictures or read articles that I have in my "collection", just ask, and I'll direct you to the links. :) I've been researching Bill since 2011, and I'm still learning new things almost every day. :)

Replaceable fair use File:Ken Dodd seated with his famous tickling stick.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ken Dodd seated with his famous tickling stick.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 07:02, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Colour portrait of the Actor Ben Whishaw.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Colour portrait of the Actor Ben Whishaw.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.

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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. MarcGarver (talk) 13:30, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
