File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Pual J Wright.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Pual J Wright.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 00:16, 31 March 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:16, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, a number of your recent file uploads, such as File:Pual J Wright.jpg, have been missing information regarding their copyright status. Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and that the copyright status of all media files uploaded to Wikipedia must be verifiable by others.

Sources vs. External links
Hi there. Your recent edits, for example this one indicate that you might not be aware of the difference between a citation and an external link. A citation is something that identifies a source for the purpose of verification. If you write "(1990 to present) Formed Paul J. Wright, Attorney at Law, a law firm", you need to provide a source for verification. Adding something like I added (a link to Wright's bio) does this. An external link, on the other hand, is something which links to a source outside Wikipedia not used for verification. You added a link to http://pauljwright.com/, which does not verify the fact. If you read the relevant guideline you'll see where and how such link can be added. I hope this is helpful, and feel free to ask any questions. Best regards and happy editing. --Muhandes (talk) 20:39, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your help here. I have been trying desperately to do all of things you have asked for. I have been reading the history trying to find out what I need to do to make the proper corrections. I saw that you seemed to be very frustrated with what I had done and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong and so I greatly appreciate your communication here. I will go through the entire article later tonight and double check each and every citation to make sure they all comply.

I also do not know how to add the (a) picture properly. I figure I had better get the article correct first before attempting to work on that. I hope that it is okay to do it like that. I had a person from the help center read through the article and check for any problems. I was told that it "looked okay for now". So please accept my apologies for the problems with it currently and please know that I will work dilligently to fix them. I am not a computer tech person and perhaps should not have attempted this... Prescindia (talk) 23:50, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Also Muhandes, how many other articles do I need to link this to before it will not be considered an "Orphan" Article? I have got at least 3 others that I can link it to almost immediatley. There are probably more if I do some more research. I haven't quite been able to get to that yet. Thank you for all of your help. It is invaluable. Prescindia (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It's after 3AM and I am going to sleep so just a quick answer. Adding a picture is quite simple, let me know what you want added and I'll be happy to help. 3 articles is enough to remove an orphan tag. Happy to be of assistance. --Muhandes (talk) 00:16, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

OK I am finally getting to this... I called the Variety offices today and they informed me that they are in the process of erecting a website for their The Variety Group, the board and their affiliates. They do not yet have such a thing that I could use as a proper citation. Should I then delete that information until I can verify it with the proper citation?

Also, I thought I would load either one of two photographs. They both are found under the link below in google images. I think that I found the proper form to use to upload one of them. I am not entirely sure but I will attempt it. http://www.google.com/search?q=paul%20j%20wright%20esq&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1659&bih=855

Again, thanks for your help and patience. Prescindia (talk) 06:18, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Regarding The Variety Group, if you don't have a source for a fact, in general all facts should have a source for verification. Regarding the image, uploading an image which is not in the public domain is against the copyright policy. If you can find an image which is in the public domain, or an image which you own and are willing to release into the public domain, use the "Upload file" link on the left, it is quite self explanatory. Again, I'd be happy to help if you have any further questions. --Muhandes (talk) 14:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Muhandes, if you are still out there can you check my citations in the catagory that needed improvement? I have been working on them. I will need to insert my subject into some other wiki articles. I am looking at 5, but I cannot do this just now. This coming weekend I should have the time. Thanks for your help! Prescindia (talk) 10:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "citations in the catagory", but I went and improved some sources, though not all. WP:CITE is a good place to start regarding how references should look like. Specifically, reuse of references using the "name" parameter, and avoiding link rot.--Muhandes (talk) 10:53, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks this is extremely helpful!!! I really appreciate it!Prescindia (talk) 07:31, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Can yo utell me though.. what was wrong with the British American Business Council information??? http://babc2007.com/default.asp this link shows him as being the president. http://www.babcla.org/content.asp?PageID=156 is the page where you can find the current positions he holds.

I guess that I still just do not understand why these don't qualify as references??? And what exctly are you looking for? Thanks for continuing to help me here. Prescindia (talk) 07:48, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * There is nothing wrong with http://babc2007.com/default.asp, it's just redundant. http://www.babcla.org/content.asp?PageID=212 already states the facts about the conference, and also has more information, and http://www.babcla.org/content.asp?PageID=156 is enough for all the other positions, so I elected to remove http://babc2007.com/default.asp due to oversourcing. --Muhandes (talk) 08:06, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I see. I am going to work on this tomorrow to make more corrections. Its in the middle of the night here and I need my full brain to help me. thank you Prescindia (talk) 08:26, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
