Green Apple Books & Music

Hello there. My name is Nicholas Buzanski and I have recently become a user here. I noticed that under Independent Bookstores that there were quite a few but not Green Apple Books & Music which has been in the same location for 40 years. I always see it being voted best Used and Independent Bookstre in the Bay Area by The San Francisco Bay Guardian, SF Weekly, San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Magazine. It is a staple in the Richmond District, San Francisco, California which is another link. When I tried to create an entry for this store. You deleted it and then I realized I had done it wrong. I could not find the way to request the page. I have since gone to Green Apple and got some historical information from them. How do I make this work.

Thanks, Nicholas nicholas@nocornerspress.com Nbuzanski 21:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nicholas. All articles need to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Here it is in a nutshell:

A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, independent of the subject and independent of each other. The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. Once notability is established, primary sources may be used to add content. Ultimately, and most importantly, all content must be attributable.

Based on what you said above, Green Apple Books & Music probably qualifies as notable. I will restore the page so you can add some information and sources. Let me know if you have questions. Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 14:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for putting the page back up. I am trying to edit now and get everything set. Sorry for my bumbling. I didn't mean to add it the first time, I was just trying to preview it. I will add more information and get some sources in there. Thanks again for being so cool. Nbuzanski 20:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. :) In the future, if you'd like to work on an article before submitting it, you can put it in your "user space", like User:Nbuzanski/Article name, and move it to "Article name" when you're done. Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 20:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Greenapplebookstore.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Greenapplebookstore.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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

re: Green Apple picture licensing

Hi there Fang, I read through the How to Upload an image and about the copyright problems. I was told that I can use a photo that is on the Green Apple Website that was taken by Kevin Hunsanger. I know that I need to give him credit, link to the website, and allow it to be approved. What do I put in the Licensing section?

Thanks for all your help, I'm slowly figuring this all out. Nbuzanski 22:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found a tag that might be appropriate:

{{Cc-by-2.5}}.

But since you already uploaded a free, similar picture, would you like Image:Greenapplebookstore.JPG deleted? There doesn't seem much point it keeping it around.

Delete away, I just took a picture myself, it seemed easier. Thanks for all your help witht the links and everything, I appriciate it greatly.
