Hola Mariaita,

Thank you for your message. I checked the article and could not find anything which may violate Wikipedia policy. You see, the thing is that the subject is mentioned and cited in various forums which are considered as verifiable sources, such as the "Puerto Rico Herald" and therefore does not violate the "unsourced" policy of our project. Plus, I couldn't find anything which maybe deemed as "POV". The article was started by User:Pr4ever, whom I know to be a respectable contributor, and is not written in a vanity form, you know "golpe de pecho", which would be considered self-promotional. I placed {{cn}} where the citations are needed, but other then that I could not find anything wrong with it. Tony the Marine (talk) 15:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Tony,

Thank you for your response.

I am not so sure about the absence of "golpe de pecho" but I appreciate and respect your opinion.

Esceptic but calm ;)

Hola Mariaita, thank you for your kind words in my talk page. It is always nice to hear from people like you who make my day.

In regard to your questions. Wikipedia has become a little strict when it comes to images. The three most acceptable are: 1. those that are in public domain, 2. those who have a rationale for it's use, 3. those that you own and 4. those who have the permission of the owner. I'll tell you about each one.

1. The public domain images normally come from Federal agencies such as the military, NASA and so on. These are considered PD and have no copyright problems. Here is an example: File:Joseph Acaba.jpg.

2. The images with a rationale are those of people who are dead and have an article. Here is an example: File:DeVillard.jpg

3. If you take a picture of someone, lets say a member of the PIP, PNP or PPD and you want to upload it, you can as long as you release it into public domain. Here is an example: File:Nina and her Piragua2.JPG

4. If the image was taken by someone else or belongs to someone else and they want to release it into public domain via Wikipedia, you can upload it as long as they sign the following permission and sent it to Wikipedia's OTRS:

"I _____, as the copyright holder of the image attached/in url xxx, agree to release in under the terms of GFDL/CC-BY/CC-BY-SA (choose one license. the links are important so that we know the copyright holders understand what he/she's talking about). I understand that this allows anyone to use the image for any purpose, including commercial use, as long as the constraints in the license, like attribution, are respected."

Once this is done, the permission must be sent to "permissions-en@wikimedia.org" by you or the copyright holder himself/herself.

Here is an example: File:Tony and Clintons2.jpg

This should cover it. If you have any more questions, feel free to drop me a note. Tell you what, I'll write the bio. of Francisco Arrivi myself this weekend. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:23, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
