You Are Not Yourself

Hello Anwenparrott,

I have a concern about the image of this work of art which has been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, under a Creative Commons license. Are you aware that this license allows anyone to reuse the image for any purpose including commercial uses without payment? All that is required is attribution to the artist. In other words, anybody can make a poster, greeting card, T-shirt, coffee mug, refrigerator magnet, or anything else under the sun, without paying a single penny to the artist, as long as there is a line in small print at the bottom attributing the work to the artist. This seems contrary to the artist's best interests, but if she understands this deeply and agrees to it, then that is fine.

Instead, I would have recommended uploading the image here on Wikipedia under a claim of legitimate use of non-free content, which would have protected the artist's financial rights to the image, and prevented its re-use anywhere. Please see WP:NFCI #7 for details. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:03, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Robert Markley

The article Robert Markley has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. PamD 07:00, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Books

Hi, when you are adding books to a list of someone's publications, as at Robert Markley, it's very helpful to include the ISBN. If you format it as "ISBN nnnnnnnnnnnnn" (ie capital "ISBN", space, number - which can include hyphens), then it automatically links to a page where the book can be followed up in libraries or bookshops, which also verifies its existence.
