Craig Richards

If you want to create an article about the actor then start another page and don't add him to an exsisting article. Name the article something like Craig Richards (actor). Based on your user name and the name of the actor I think you should read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 20:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't delete the page myself, as I'm not (yet) an admin. You may want to talk to User:J Milburn, the admin who deleted the page -- apparently the page got deleted because you blanked it. Also, note that it's improper to overwrite a page as you did here. If you feel that Craig Richards (actor) was deleted in error, I would suggest taking it to deletion review. Either way, keep in mind that it's usually considered bad form to write a page about yourself, even if you do happen to meet WP:N, our notability guidelines.

I speedy deleted the page because you had blanked it (removed all content from it) and not edited it since. This is generally assumed to mean that you have decided that you no longer want the page to exist, but do not understand the deletion procedures; as such, I deleted it for you. I do not believe for a second that you were lying, though we must admit that the article was not backed up by reliable sources (IMDB uses user-submitted content and a personal, first party website is not considered reliable) and so there is nothing to indicate that you weren't. However, if you are certain that you meet our notability guidelines (generally, in this case, the winning of a major award and/or significant coverage in multiple reliable sources would suffice- simply appearing in a tonne of films will not) then I would be happy to work on the article with you to ensure that there was no conflict of interest and to ensure that it kept in line with our policies.

File permission problem with File:Skipobrien3-409x604.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Skipobrien3-409x604.jpg. 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

Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to 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 take this step, add {{permission 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.
