In response to your feedback

Hi Erica.nicolenyc... From what I can tell, the problem with your additions to the articles is the source. IMDB is generally not regarded as a reliable site for referencing. I believe it's because the subjects of articles themselves can edit their entries.

You are certainly welcome to add information about that person to articles, but I think you'll want to find a more reliable source. An industry periodical, perhaps? A review of his performance? If I can help, please let me know.

In response to your feedback

Hi.... references do not have to be online to be used in an article. As long as you include sufficient information for other editors to locate the reference in question. Date, publisher, volume, pages, etc. This page has a lot of information on citing. Enjoy!

File permission problem with File:Joe Floccari & CBS News Atlanta Team at The 2009 Emmy Awards.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Joe Floccari & CBS News Atlanta Team at The 2009 Emmy Awards.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the 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 CC-BY-SA 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 permissions-enwikimedia.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 {{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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:04, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
