File permission problem with File:Luke Davies.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Luke Davies.jpg, which you've attributed to Luke Davies. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 20:55, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jean Kent[edit]

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jean Kent, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://jeankent.net.au/life/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

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.

This is a response to MadmanBot (if I can respond to a bot). The text for the proposed Jean Kent Wikipedia entry (which is not posted yet, just a draft) is not a copyright violation, because I also wrote the bio on her website page.

The facts of her life, such as where she was born and where she went to university, are pretty much the same however you relate them. The important thing is for an important Australian woman poet who has won multiple prizes to get a Wikipedia entry.

As I am a Wikipedia newbie and still learning the ropes, please help me on how to achieve this in the right way.

Jfknorth, could you place at the bottom of that website a clear notice that it is published under a free license? It should be a license statement similar to the one you see at the bottom of every Wikipedia article. That would be the easiest way to handle the copyright issue. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:16, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Until this is done, I have modified the draft to remove content that follows closely. Once the license statement is published - see WP:DCM for what it should say - you are certainly welcome to restore the original text. Please don't do so until that's done, however. If you have questions, you're welcome to come by my talk page. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:36, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jean Kent concern[edit]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jean Kent, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 02:08, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
