User talk:Yasminkhan1981

Greetings!

I saw you uploaded an image of Yasmin Khan, that was subsequently deleted. Yeah, I know that is frustrating. If you are Yasmin Khan, you can upload a selfie. But you also have to release it under a license, that allows it to be freely re-used. The most common license for this is a version of the creative commons share-alike.

I'd be glad to help you do this.

Other alternatives include:
 * If you have a website, choose a pic on that website. Put a caption underneath it, saying "creative commos share-alike", and let me know, by leaving a note on User talk:Geo Swan.  I'll upload it, link to your page, and put a tag on it requesting someone else to confirm that you left the right kind of license.  I'll leave a note here, letting you know that it is all taken care of, and you can remove the caption from your website.
 * Some picture sites, the most popular being flickr, allow users to choose from a dozen or so licenses. Create an ID there, upload some pictures, choose "creative commons share-alike 2.0".  Leave me a heads-up, and I'll upload it.  We have a robot that automatically checks the licenses from flickr.

The wikipedia has a preference setting that lets people inform the wikipedia of their email address. If you use this feature you can set it up so a robot sends you an email when certain kinds of changes are made to articles you are interested in, or people can "ping" you. People can also use it to send you a private email. They won't know your email address unless you use email to reply. If you set yours, I could email you, and agree to look for your reply here, so you keep your email private. Or you could use it to send me a private email, without revealing your email address to anyone else.

I've started well over a thousand biographical wikipedia articles. I enjoyed working on yours. There is a project to start more articles on women, because, unfortunately, the wikipedia shows an inherent bias against articles on women.

Someone from that project explicitly thanked me for starting the article on you! That is the first time that has happened.
