Notice of Paid Work Relating to Wikipedia

Duplicate use of refs

There is a format for using a ref more than once. I did Basile as an example. David notMD (talk) 10:56, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Barnesbw91 (talk) 11:15, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On ref naming for multi-use, the quotation marks are optional, and I personally prefer ref names that in someway link to the reference rather than just :0 to :X numbering. I use a name or other signifier and a publication year. Hence my Basile2017. Also, each Edit summary should be specific to the changes that were made rather than repeating a generic description. This helps other editors find when certain changes were made to the article. David notMD (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I understand that. Barnesbw91 (talk) 15:06, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Images

IF there is a photographer who is willing to cede all usages of photos of Travis with or without fellow band members, then that photographer can go to Wikipedia Commons and download those photos. This would allow you to take the images from Commons and insert into article. The contributor(s) of photos have to be those who took the pictures, not the people in the pictures. David notMD (talk) 13:54, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If I am employed by the owner/creator I still can not upload these photos? thanks Barnesbw91 (talk) 15:05, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Photographers are presumed to own the copyright to photos they took. The chandlertravis website states at bottom that content is under copyright. Cleanest route would be for a photograhpr of a previously unpublished photograph to put that into Wikipedia Commons, with understanding that anyone, anywhere in the world, will have free access to using the photo. David notMD (talk) 21:07, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, the photographer Rawlins is creating a wikipedia account so that she may add this photo to the commons.Barnesbw91 (talk) 19:08, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Submit?

In my opinion this is now good enough to submit. May take 6-8 weeks for a reviewer to do it. If declined, the reviewer will state reasons, which are then a guide on how to further improve the article. Subsequent reviews are almost always by a different reviewer, so no prejudicial opinion carried over. Good luck. David notMD (talk) 14:10, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for all of your guidance on my first article, you have been extremely helpful and I am very grateful for your assistance. I am adding some content about his family and touring in Europe and Japan in addition to a few questions Travis is clarifying and then I will submit the page.Barnesbw91 (talk) 19:06, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Old Edwards Inn and Spa moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Old Edwards Inn and Spa, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~~Cheers~~Mgbo120 18:41, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much I had though the draft prefix was added automatically I understand this now.Bryan Barnes (talk) 18:46, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Old Edwards Inn Logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Old Edwards Inn Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. DannyS712 (talk) 06:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I added "the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use" to the description. This has not been previously used in any articles. May I delete the speedy deletion request? Thanks for communicating with me. Bryan Barnes (talk) 07:27, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the linked article too, it is on the page draft:Old Edwards Inn and Spa Bryan Barnes (talk) 09:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Elected Officials

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Elected Officials requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Old Edwards Inn and Spa (June 15)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is written in too promotional a manner. It's also not clear if the ratings are enoguhto establish notability -- we need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements

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:Old Edwards Inn and Spa and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Old Edwards Inn and Spa, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.
