Your submission at Articles for creation: Heather Eatman (June 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LaMona 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 promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Also, the article must be built from information found in third-party sources (newspapers, magazines) that are independent of the subject of the article. Those sources must be referenced in-line with the text they support. No un-referenced material is allowed. Quotes by the subject of the article are not third-party and should be limited if not entirely eliminated.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Heather Eatman and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Heather Eatman (July 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 SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

At best, could be acceptable, but please still add all additional amounts of in-depth third-party news sources overall; No press releases, interviews, social media links or trivial passing mentions.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Help me! Heather Eatman Band Photograph

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with...

I am the creator of a recently accepted article on Heather Eatman. At the time the article was originally submitted we included a photo of Heather with her band: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heather_Eatman_and_her_band.jpg. The photo was subsequently deleted, apparently because the photographer, Brad Hamilton, didn't get the permission in in time.

He has now done so, sending the following to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org on August 16th:

I hereby affirm that I, Brad Hamilton, the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the media work as shown here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heather_Eatman_and_her_band.jpg I agree to publish the above-mentioned content under the following free license: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International. I acknowledge that by doing so I grant anyone the right to use the work, even in a commercial product or otherwise, and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws. I am aware that this agreement is not limited to Wikipedia or related sites. I am aware that the copyright holder always retains ownership of the copyright as well as the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen. Modifications others make to the work will not be claimed to have been made by the copyright holder. I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the content may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.

However, I am unable to find the photograph on Wikipedia or Commons in order to replace it in the article. Questions: Does Wikipedia still have the photo? If so, can it be restored to the article? (2) If not and Brad needs to re-upload the photo, is there a simple way for him to do so without having to again fill out the long permissions form that opens when I click on the "upload" link at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heather_Eatman_and_her_band.jpg? Is the "Wizard" his best bet? He's a busy professional, I have already taken up quite a bit of his time, and I hesitate to ask him to do too much more.

Thanks for your quick response.

Best,

PolskaGoyl (talk) 23:53, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Do not worry, we still have the image. Per Commons:Undeletion requests, the image should be restored as soon as they process the permission email that was sent. You will be able to put the image back in the article once they are done. Please do not re-upload the file, as it will create more work for the permissions reviewers. There is often a backlog at OTRS permissions, so this may take a few weeks. -- AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 00:03, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

@AntiCompositeNumber: Please help me with...Just checking in regarding the Heather Eatman Band photo help request you responded to on my talk page several weeks ago. Wondering if there's any way you can help expedite? It's been almost a month and nothing further has happened. Many thanks! Best, PolskaGoyl

PolskaGoyl (talk) 16:14, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The email has been received, but unfortunately there's quite a backlog. Please be patient. (I myself have only read access to that queue and cannot process the email.) Huon (talk) 16:32, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
