Hi I submitted an article and it was not accepted, please advise on what changes needs to be made to get approved.

@JGarcia1970: The article hasn't been rejected - it is queued for submission and hasn't been reviewed yet. Because it is a biography of a living person (BLP), it needs to have in-line citations to high-quality sources; the standards are much higher. In particular, any reasonable editor could delete the unsourced sentence starting "She has been romantically linked ...." on sight and be within the BLP policies, which are taken very seriously. We do have good articles on models, such as Tara Teng, so the subject could be a viable one on Wikipedia, but I'd have to look further at sources to make a firm decision on that. (And now I'll go off and listen to "Truckin'" I think....) Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:24, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I recently attempted to upload a photo of Todd Whitaker for his Wikipedia page, and it was taken down for copyright infringement. I am a member of Taylor & Francis/Routledge, with whom Todd Whitaker publishes. We own the rights to the photo, and have received permission from Todd Whitaker to upload it. I am unable to attempt to upload it again because it has been erroneously flagged for copyright infringement. Can this please be fixed? Sulli24m (talk) 21:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sulli24m: If your company owns the rights to the photo, you must release it under an appropriate free license (such as GFDL, CC-BY-3.0, CC-BY-SA-3.0, or Public Domain). Please see Commons:Email templates for information on where to send a declaration of consent and what wording you need to include. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht: We actually don't want to release the photo under a Creative Commons license. Is it possible to upload without relinquishing copyright? I can provide you with my e-mail address and we can speak that way if you need further verification that I am indeed from Taylor & Francis. I will also be able to forward you a consent e-mail from Todd Whitaker himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.122.13.74 (talk) 21:45, 10 February 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

@Sulli24m: Unfortunately, Wikipedia articles can only use images that have been released under a free license. You don't have to relinquish complete copyright (the creative commons license allows you to require attribution, for example), but Wikipedia doesn't allow images to be used where permission is given for use on Wikipedia only. See Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Copyright_and_licensing for more information. --Ahecht (TALK
