Help me!
Please help me with... I'm trying to write a new article/page for a band, it's in Draft until I have some more info, but I don't understand how to make a box with band members or what to do to make it editable for other contributors. I can't see anything which says "publish" or similar. Failing all that, can I delete it altogether as it's not as easy as I hoped!!

 * Drafts already are editable by other contributors. You can give others a link to the draft, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Trampolene_%28band%29, and they can contribute to it. When the draft is ready, you can submit it for a review by an experienced editor by adding to the very top, including the curly brackets. I assume the box you mean is an infobox; for this article you'll want to check out Template:Infobox musical artist, which deals with both individual musicians and bands. The template page explains the available parameters and gives examples of use. However, the draft's main issue is the lack of reliable sources that discuss the band in some detail; Wikipedia content should be a summary of what such sources as newspapers or reputable music magazines have reported about it. See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily cite your sources. Should you still prefer to have your draft deleted, you can nominate it for speedy deletion by adding  to the page.

File permission problem with File:Jack Jones of Trampolene.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Jack Jones of Trampolene.jpeg, which you've attributed to Jack Jones. 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. 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 18:08, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
