Frederick Buechner image

When an image is in use at a project, it mustn't be deleted on copyright grounds unless (1) it's shown to be a blatant copyright infringement, or (2) a discussion is held. Unless it can be demonstrated that it's been taken from a certain location, you'll need to file a deletion request. If you'd like help with that, I'll be happy to help. The easiest way would probably be to leave another note at my talk page (like you did a few minutes ago) saying you'd like help and giving your reasons for believing it a copyright problem.

Okay, that's definitely a solid reason :-) Can you provide me a link to the precise image (or a link to the specific page where it appears), or can you tell me how to navigate to that page from the front page of http://www.frederickbuechner.com? Thank you. Nyttend (talk) 15:12, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It gets a little muddy here: if you search Frederick Buechner in Google, you will quickly find the picture, and it links to the website: http://www.frederickbuechner.com/, though the image appears nowhere on the website that I can find, nor on any related social media platform. Here http://www.frederickbuechner.com/photos/ you will find select photos with a permission request form. Though the concerned image does not appear in the websites library of images, it clearly comes from the website and is posted without evidence of permission.

August 2018

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:List of works by Frederick Buechner a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
