April 2018
Hello, I'm Redrose64. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Carrie Murray Nature Center seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 20:21, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why you are removing edits. Less than neutral?   I'm accurately describing the Center, its program offerings, etc.  The Center is under new management!  The old Director is gone and it no longer provides animal rehab services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thardcastle (talk • contribs) 20:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Your edits removed all of the article text (and all of the references), replacing it with text that was entirely unsourced, and highly promotional. Please read the policy on neutrality, the policy on verifiability and the policy on promotion. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:07, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Please see the below-mentioned link regarding Carrie Murray Nature Center:
 * https://bcrp.baltimorecity.gov/carriemurray
 * There is nothing promotional in what I've written. The park is as described, the facility is as described.  And my edits included the same image which appears on Baltimore City's website which you chose to "undo".  I took that photo.
 * Have you looked at the original references, the date of those references, and the subject matters? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thardcastle (talk • contribs) 21:24, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thankyou for providing that link. It is now clear to me that what you have added to the article is a copyright violation, including that photograph. This is not permitted. Accordingly, I have requested that the image be deleted under Commons speedy deletion criterion F1, and have served a notice at c:User talk:Thardcastle.
 * Also, Please observe talk page guidelines; in particular, don't cause discussions to become fragmented - reply below the post that you are replying to, also sign your posts using four tildes . -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:06, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * A couple of comments and observations:
 * 1) The proposed image which you removed appears on the Baltimore City Recs & Parks website. Carrie Murray is a Recs & Parks facility. Could it be that the proposed content and image was vetted and approved by Recs & Parks?
 * 2) When I said "took", does that mean I took the image from another source or I actually took the image with a camera or similar?
 * Apparently, you know the answers to the above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thardcastle (talk • contribs) 12:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Please do not reply on my talk page; not only does this create fragmented discussion, I am watching this page so will know when you post here.
 * The web page which you linked above, i.e. https://bcrp.baltimorecity.gov/carriemurray, states at the bottom "Copyright © 2018 City of Baltimore All Rights Reserved." This means that the copyright in the entire content of that page, including the images, rests with the City of Baltimore; this in turn means that you cannot reuse their images without explicit permission from an official of Baltimore City Council; which furthermore means that you cannot upload their images to Commons under any circumstances, and must not upload their images to Wikipedia without satisfying all ten of the criteria listed at WP:NFCC.
 * For the purposes of U.S. copyright law (and indeed that of several other countries), the person who took the photo is the person who held the camera and pressed the shutter release. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 16:15, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
