License tagging for Image:Ross Anderson 10.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ross Anderson 10.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

September 2012

Hello, I'm Yworo. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ross Anderson (skier), but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 18:47, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Ross Anderson (skier). Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 19:54, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2013

Hello, I'm Yworo. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Ross Anderson (skier), because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 14:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Web reference links need to be to a page that actually mentions the subject and verifies the fact. Just linking to the front page of a website appears to be promotion of that website, no matter where the link is put. Yworo (talk) 14:45, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Could you please supply a citation for the sport statistics at Ross Anderson (skier)? Thanks! Skyerise (talk) 20:17, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

May 2015

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ross Anderson (skier), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 20:33, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Ross Anderson (skier). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Skyerise (talk) 22:33, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Ross Anderson (skier)

The article Ross Anderson (skier) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not verifiable due to lack of sources; single source is non-independent primary source and this is a BLP

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Skyerise (talk) 22:42, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Hi, thanks for supplying a citation for the sports statistics. I've removed the proposed deletion.

So here's the deal: sources must be verifiable. A book, a journal, a reliable website are the things Wikipedia is looking for. Things we can't use for sources: personal experience, even that of the subject of the article; personal letters; oral communications, etc.

Next, subjects are not supposed to edit their own articles. I will append a formal warning below. Every warning has links to pages you need to read in order to learn to satisfy Wikipedia requirements. If you would bother to actually read them, you would find our what our requirements are.

Next, I notice in your edit summary you claim to be the subject. I hope that you understand that we cannot take your word for this. This is the Internet, anybody can claim to be anybody. If you are the subject, then you should not edit the article. Instead, you should post on the talk page about errors you find or additions you want to make, and let other editors adjust the article. But you can't expect them to find sources for you. Any proposed additions or changes you have should be accompanied by a source from which we can verify the facts.

Finally, encyclopedia articles are not expected to be up-to-date for personal information such as residence. Despite the article being about you, Wikipedia is not your website nor does the article in any way "belong" to you. Since everything has to be sourced, if we have a source that says you live in Taos, and no reliable source has written about you living in Albuquerque, then for our purposes, we can only say that you live in Taos. To change it to Albuquerque, some third-party reliable source needs to put in print that you live in Albuquerque: a driver's license is not a source that every Wikipedia editor can verify if they choose. Neither is your say so. It is unreasonable to expect such information not to lag by several years.

Any way, I can change the article to just say that you live in New Mexico, without specifying city until a citation can be provided for that. Hope that helps.

Below is our "conflict-of-interest" warning that I mentioned earlier. Please read and try to understand why we have to have such a policy. Thanks! Skyerise (talk) 15:10, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

COI warning

Hello, Florida01. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ross Anderson (skier), you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 15:10, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Skyerise Thank you for the updates as I took over it temporarily or until I get someone else to do it. I thank you for your valuable input and there are reliable sources from articles Books and websites. I agree that I should not be the one changing. Note: for any place I go somehow I am categorized as notable people living in town, city state. So that is where I am getting current status of residents. Having said that it would be great to list all the items to clean up and make more appealing. Source one is Google.com under my name skier, casino, celebrity, skier publications etc. Others are Native Athletes in Action, Glencoe Magraw Hill Mathematics book, Hawk media, websites: rossanderson.org, speedski-info.com, fis-ski.com biography speed ski. Again I am not an expert nor am trying to do my own page. I am just trying to put up to date information. Thank you

Thanks for your response. I've got the article on my watchlist due to your having been listed as in Taos. I do keep an eye on a number of articles of New Mexico residents, primarily artists, musicians and writers in Taos/Santa Fe/Albuquerque. Not being a sports fan of any sort, I tend to avoid actually expanding/referencing sports-related articles. What I would suggest is letting WikiProject Sports know about the issues and potential sources on their talk page. Optimally, someone who concentrates on sports would pick up the ball.... Skyerise (talk) 16:35, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent!! I will try to contact them on the matters to be resolved. As mentioned you are a resident as well. I had a feature in Albuquerque the Magazine April 2013 100 issue stating I live in Albuquerque. Just a note really. I did not know how in-depth this all is and I truly thank you for your input and education to Wikipedia. Florida01 (talk)

By the way, I saw your post at the help desk. I actually try to be sensitive to Native American issues as I am 1/8th Mi'kmaq (no tribal affiliation). If you look at my user page under the list of articles created, you will see some of the articles I've created in the area: American Indian Council of Architects and Engineers, American Indian Science and Engineering Society, Association for the Study of American Indian Literatures, Native American Literature Symposium, Studies in American Indian Literatures and Joseph Rael. If you should ever get to the point of having the knack of providing references and citations, we'd love to have you contribute in the area as well. NA topics are not as well covered as they could be.... Skyerise (talk) 20:32, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
