Orphaned non-free image File:Derek pellicci.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Derek pellicci.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 04:32, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!

 * What do you need help with ?  Mlpearc  MESSAGE  23:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837, in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.  Chzz  ►  08:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Derek pellicci.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Derek pellicci.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 uploaded by following this link. 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 12:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi and thanks - I'm not sure if I'm responding in the correct place, about this issue, but I'll give it a go - I'm not quite sure where the issue lies with my use of this photo. It is the property of Derek Pellicci and is a photo of him. He gave it to me, to use for this wiki article. Please tell me how I can fix the problem with using it (I don't think there IS a problem....) Thanks again for your help. --Shelby1611 (talk) 00:52, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Shelby1611.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Shelby1611.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 uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 01:16, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Using unpublished interviews in Wikipedia
Short answer: you can't. We are a collection of information previously published in reliable sources. Thus, your unpublished information, even if garnered from the subject, is not suitable for use here. (Besides: subjects themselves are notoriously not always reliable, and certainly unlikely to have a neutral point of view, due to their obvious conflict of interest.) -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  18:19, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
