Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to a page, specifically Draft:Charles Wesley Powell, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. See WP:NFCC#9. --Stefan2 (talk) 14:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

September 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed a file deletion tag from File:Annualreportofbo1924smit 0467.2.jpg. When removing deletion tags, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Chamith (talk) 19:32, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Continuing to remove file deletion tags from file description pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Chamith (talk) 20:13, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove a file deletion tag from the file description page of a Wikipedia file without resolving the problem that the tag refers to, as you did at File:Annualreportofbo1924smit 0467.2.jpg. Chamith (talk) 20:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for Repeated removal of speedy templates on your articles. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Panamaorchids (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have never created a wikipedia page before. I understand I have been blocked for issues regarding repeated speedy removal tags. I understand these are disruptive edits and harmful to the wikipedia community. It was not my intention to be disruptive. Every time I think I have gotten the copyright elements of a photo composed correctly, it turns out I am wrong. I will not remove tags to my images that I don't put in the description box. I didn't want my page to be reviewed without the images I wanted to include in my article and I am under the impression I am nearing the time for review (when I first uploaded my draft, I was told 3 weeks). I have been given fair warning. In a few instances, I wanted images to be deleted because I goofed up the uploads. I researched how to delete an image and I could not find a way to do it. It took me a few tries but I think I have the WikiMedia Commons images figured out...it's just the PD and Fair Use ones that need work. I thought a problem might have been that I did not associate my images with an article so I thought I needed to add "draft" to my article's name in the rationale description of fair use. Honestly, I'm doing my best. I am sorry for taking the time of the administrators in the management of this issue. Please forgive me. Panamaorchids (talk) 00:46, 23 September 2014 (UTC) @Ronhjones:[reply]

Decline reason:

You're only blocked for 48 hours. I suggest you read about Wikipedia's image tutorials and help, so that when the block expires, you'll be able to use images correctly. PhilKnight (talk) 14:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

{{unblock|I read the info you posted about article speedy deletion and I think the same applies to photo deletion. In one place I saw this, "If this project page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, ..." and that is where I stopped reading. I intended to fix the problem so I thought it was OK to remove the speedy delete tag. I should have read a little further. Additionally, I saw, "When removing deletion tags, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or..." same idea as above-I thought it was OK to remove the deletion tag because I thought I fixed the problem. Today, I see more information about "contest speedy deletion" and "do not remove this tag yourself." I would like to continue to edit Draft:Charles Wesley Powell and ask that you please consider removing my block. About the orphaned images notices, I thought once they were successfully added to a page the problem would be resolved. Also, you suggested I look into PD sources and I appreciate that suggestion. Yesterday, I did as you suggested. I found a photo on Flickr that I might use and I emailed the owner in Bogota, Columbia and he responded (cool).Panamaorchids (talk) 13:38, 23 September 2014 (UTC) @Ww2censor:}}[reply]

{{unblock|You have been trying to help me with the image documentation for Draft:Charles Wesley Powell and I appreciate that. I truly thought when I was removing the speedy delete tags that I was following the proper procedure because I was fixing the issue by properly documenting the PD information. I left a page to verify I had the correct link inserted and when I returned to edit the page of my source, the image was gone. I thought I had the sequence of information addition wrong and not the fact that I removed the deletion tag. I am sorry for taking up your time. I have high regard for volunteers. I tried to ping the original blocker, but I don't know when administrators are online and I don't know if I did the ping correctly. I never attempted to ping anyone until yesterday and I don't know if I did it correctly. Regardless, I will not remove those tags. @ChamithN:}}

@Stefan2: I would like to include two Fair Use images in my draft article Draft:Charles Wesley Powell. The images have been upload but are described as "orphaned fair use." Please let me know if I understand the policy correctly: The images are due to and will be deleted. This is because Fair Use images cannot be added to a draft article. Therefore, the images will be deleted and will need to be recreated after the draft article becomes an article. Is that correct? Sorry to bother you, I am trying my best to follow proper procedure. Panamaorchids (talk) 16:04, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free images may not be used in drafts, see WP:NFCC#9. If the image otherwise satisfies WP:NFCC, you can request undeletion at WP:REFUND once the draft has been moved to the article namespace, should the picture have been deleted at that point. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Stefan2: thank you for helping me. Panamaorchids (talk) 16:22, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ronhjones: Draft:Charles Wesley Powell I re-uploaded an image that was deleted because it was initially described as Fair Use. It now has a PD description. I think I have it properly described, now. File:CWPowellinHisOrchidGarden1924.jpg If you would verify it's done properly, I'd like to upload other images that were deleted due to improper description (using Fair Use instead of PD). Thank you. Panamaorchids (talk) 16:02, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Almost there - suggest always use Template:Information at the top of the image page (copy and paste from one of the "white-boxes") - then just fill in after the "=" signs. If you created it from fresh (e.g. a landscape with your own camera - then use {{own}} as the source.) You need to add the exact url we can find the image page in the source, so that it can be verified where it came from, and that will then hopefully agree with the license shown. For Draft page - you can always use File:Replace this imageb.svg and say in the image caption that it will be filled in with a non-free image when approved.

File source problem with File:Charles Leslie Pullen 1a.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Charles Leslie Pullen 1a.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Abel A. Hunter (November 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This continues to have excessive detail. though not as much as the previous version. Much more important, there seems to be no source for most of it, and the language appears to be the type of writing that would normally be found in a professional tribute, containing adjectives of praise and evaluations of the sort that, for an encyclopedia, need explicit sourcing. I remain very uncertain that the material was not closely adapted from some previously published source. I can think of two possible directions from here: One is too find the source, cite it, and rewrite the material that was taken from it-- in original language and arrangement, avoiding WP:Close paraphrase. The other, is to abridge this sufficiently that it is unlike to be a copyvio. cautiously. I can not do the first, but I can do the second, and I will if necessary, because we should have an article on him.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mr. Guye was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms, that are designed to promote or show-off the subject.
