File permission problem with File:Sarah Gildersleeve Fife.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sarah Gildersleeve Fife.jpg, which you've attributed to New York Botanical Garden. 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 created 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.  Ron h jones  (Talk) 22:15, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Harriet Barnes Pratt.jpg discussion
Hi. This is in reference to. Wikipedia requires that a statement of permission from the copyright holder be on file. This is for everyone's protection - it keeps someone from uploading one of your photos and then claiming to be the copyright holder. Please see WP:CONSENT for a sample statement of permission that can be used and request that the copyright holder send such a letter to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. If you have any questions, you may contact me or you can ask. --B (talk) 03:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Your email to me
I received your email. "Cleaning" refers to a semi-automated task provided by the AFC Helper Script. See AFCH for details. By the way, unless privacy or other reasons make it a bad idea to talk "out in the open" I prefer to communicate about Wikipedia articles and submissions using talk or other discussion pages rather than email. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  15:36, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

 * PS: An interesting article, I had to make some formatting fixes, but those are minor.  You are welcome to continue submitting through AfC if you wish, but you will also find that you are able to directly create articles as well, AfC is only required for very new editors.


 * A few general hints, if I may?
 * * When punctuation and refs come together, the usual style is to place the ref after the period or comma without an intervening space.
 * * The editing toolbar should have a "ref" button that makes it easier to fill out references, I can't live without it myself.


 * Please let me know if I can be of any assistance! --j⚛e deckertalk 19:01, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Index to American Botanical Literature


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Index to American Botanical Literature requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexToAmericanBotanicalLiterature.asp. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
