If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

File copyright problem with File:JcgPEN.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:JcgPEN.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. (ESkog)^(Talk) 14:03, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Oscar James Campbell, Jr. (March 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Blaze Wolf were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unsourced other than the external link to a NYTimes article. I don't see how he's notable from the text. Just being a scholar and educator alone isn't enough to be notable.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Oscar James Campbell, Jr. and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Pomfret watcher! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:55, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Oscar James Campbell, Jr. (March 31)

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

Not like this--there's no actual prose, there's no proper formatting, there's no academic career or bibliography, and there's only ONE reference, in an inline link. The man is likely notable but this is not an article yet.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Oscar James Campbell, Jr. and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

License tagging for File:Oscar James Campbell.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:Oscar James Campbell.PNG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Pomfret watcher, but how could you possibly claim that photograph as your own work? Drmies (talk) 01:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your edit; I don't understand why you removed the short description. The image itself is up for deletion at Commons because of copyright concerns; I hope you will address that matter there, lest it be deleted. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
