Sonja

Hi. Thanks for your recent edits to Sonja Kristina, including references. Some important items are still tagged as "not in reference given" or "citation needed". I will be removing the unsourced information "soon" (it can be restored later with references of course): if you have reliable sources for any of the tagged information, please add them (if the source is a book, please provide the page number if possible). Thanks. --Mirokado (talk) 20:07, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just look for the references yourself rather than remove the information arbitrarily? I don't know where the information came from and am trying hard, but I only have so much time and energy.

Thank you. --Backstreetlover (talk) 20:12, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are doing very well and I don't at all want to discourage you. The answer to "why remove it?" is that once information appears in Wikipedia it is more-or-less instantly duplicated on other websites, and used by others as a basis of what they write. For that reason there must already be a reliable source for everything we add. Otherwise we "poison the well", makding it very difficult to find genuine sources for the information later. This is true for all articles, but particularly for biographies of living persons. I have already looked for web-based sources for the three tagged items and not found them. In the case of the two items tagged as "not in reference given", that reference clearly avoided giving detailed information. I will now remove the unsourced items. Once anyone finds a reliable source, the information can be added again.

(I recommend keeping conversations in one place, "threaded" by indentation as you see here). --Mirokado (talk) 20:30, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my point was for the same amount of energy you put into marking it and scolding me you could have just done what I just did and stick it in Google and find the reference. --Backstreetlover (talk) 20:34, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Har, honestly I'm not "scolding" you at all, trying in fact to be helpful. It seems from your latest edit that you have in fact added a reference for one of the tagged items and now removed the tag. That is exactly what we needed. It was difficult to understand everything you had done because you are not completing edit summaries for your changes. If there had been an edit summary like "add ref for place of birth" I would have understood what you were doing. I will now leave you in peace and check the article again later in the week... --Mirokado (talk) 20:54, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Sonja Kristina 2014.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Sonja Kristina 2014.jpg, which you've attributed to A VRT notice was applied over 30 day(s) ago, but no message at VRTS has been found since this tag was applied.. 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

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 Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia: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.
