Stay in MA article and logo
Hi. I commented on your new article, Stay in MA. Please read my concerns, and please try to address them soon. Otherwise, another editor will likely flag the article for deletion. I will do it myself in about a week if we do not hear anything from you between now and then. I don't want to see that happen. It sounds like a good program, but articles need to be encyclopedic in nature, not advertisements. They also need to have references to reliable sources—the more the better. The link to the Boston Globe is a good start, but that article loses much of its credibility since it is essentially a recapitulation of a press release from the program. The goal of referencing good third-party sources is to establish the notability of the program. If the program is brand new, then try adding sourced comments from public officials talking about how the program will benefit MA. If the program has been around for over a year, then include references that discuss outcomes and how many people have benefited and any qualitative or quantitative improvements it has made to MA. This may seem overwhelming, but Wikipedia does have an obligation to provide informative articles, not just advertisements for programs seeking more exposure. If you need some more suggestions for improvements or have additional questions, please feel free to leave me comments on my talk page.

I will also be flagging the program's image for review. I strongly believe that the wrong permissions tag was used to identify the copyright permissions on it. PD-Self essentially means that you are the actual artist who created the image and that you are forever giving that logo away into the public domain for anyone else to use, modify, or abuse however they like and without requiring any form of attribution prior to using it. If you are the actual artist, it may be within your legal right to do that, but it still is unlikely to be what you intended, since it is the logo for the program. In fact, if you created the logo on behalf of or while employed by the program, the program may be the actual copyright holder (work-made-for-hire), and then even if you are the artist, you may not have the legal right to give away the logo to the public domain. All the way around, the license seems unlikely.

As a result of the challenge to the license of the logo and my comments on your article, both are likely to be deleted by other users. You could minimize the chances of the article being deleted while you work on improving it by moving the article to your user space. Then you could edit it, and move it back to article space after you have finished editing it. If the article is deleted before you can do that, you are welcome to start the article as a subpage under your own user page, edit it until it meets Wikipedia's guidelines, and then ask an administrator to help you move it back into article space. (Involving an admin will help, because otherwise you will be "recreating a deleted article", and that can be seen as disruptive behavior if the old and new versions are substantially similar. An admin will be able to compare the two versions and give you insight into how to avoid problems or make the move if there appears to be no problem.)

I hope that helps, and I hope you understand that nothing about this is meant as a personal attack against you or your editing. We are just trying to help keep Wikipedia a useful resource for everyone, and that means watching out for articles and images that do not meet the established policies and guidelines. Have a good weekend! &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” ) 04:18, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Stayinma.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Stayinma.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license 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 GFDL 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 [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 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 uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” ) 04:31, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
