User talk:Wikibench
Welcome
[edit]Hello, Wikibench, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

I created an article for Scott Hull (mastering engineer). Though I am employed at Masterdisk, Hull's company, I have thoroughly (I think) documented all the facts in the article. Please let me know if you find problems.
If everything is alright with the article, there is one problem I have, and I don't know how to resolve it. There is another Scott Hull on Wikipedia. When searching for "Scott Hull" it automatically goes to this other Scott Hull's page. I assume this is where a disambiguation page comes in? Please let me know if you can help. Thank you, Wikibench (talk) 19:53, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Firstly, for the Google search, Google will fix that itself eventually. Please take note for WP:COI. If you would like, I can take a close look at the article for stylistic errors, formatting, etc. <ref> tags should go after the commas (,) for aesthetic reasons. "Hull also masters all of the albums released on John Zorn's Tzadik record label" is unreferenced. I hope this helps. —Mikemoral♪♫ 20:19, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I put the references after the commas, as you suggested. I will find the reference for the Tzadik mention. But about the Google search -- actually I was referring to a Wikipedia search. When you search for "Scott Hull" it only brings up the other Scott Hull. Is there something I need to do to generate a disambiguation page? Thanks again Wikibench (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- What you could have done is create a disambiguation page or you could have added a hatnote. I already made the disambig page (See Scott Hull). —Mikemoral♪♫ 21:55, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- No problem. :) —Mikemoral♪♫ 19:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Scott-hull.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:Scott-hull.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Scott-hull.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Scott-hull.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:44, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Scott-hull.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Scott-hull.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 22:27, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
