COI and UDP tag

The article was created by an editor who claimed this image as their own work on the commons, and I can not find the image online (which would imply copyright infringement). This implies a close connection between the uploader and the subject. Pinging @Sushant1432 (the Ac and image uploader) for comment.— TheWikiholic (talk) 13:42, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No copyright infringment or COI

Pinging @TheWikiholic Hello Wikiholic, I have no connection with this author, other than that I read his book.This is where I got the image from. http://en.wikialpha.org/mediawiki/images/7/76/Nick_Conn_Profile_Pic.jpg TheWikiholic (talk Also, this image is already available under public domain here ^[1]

Apart from the image, where you saw his date of birth?.— TheWikiholic (talk) 16:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From here:https://www.crunchbase.com/person/nicholas-conn; and I contacted Watford Boys' school Sushant1432 (talk) 18:12, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why are you accusing me of these things. I just finished his book, loved it, read about his contributions in field of addiction, didn't find any wikipedia page so I created one. If there is any issue with references, I will surely revise on it later. Nobody paid me anything, so what's your problem anyway. And The image is already under wikipedia's public common licence, are you saying not to use that. Please be clear about the issue and stop vandalizing pages on wikipedia.

I left the decision of removal of these tags to an uninvolved editor since I'm not fully convinced by your responses.— TheWikiholic (talk) 07:42, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How do I contest the deletion. I literally worked on it four hours. read and sorted all the sources/references I could find on the internet. I guess it was all a total waste of time.😔 Sushant1432 (talk) 10:10, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You commented in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Conn, and that's where the deletion discussion takes place. I'm afraid that if those are all sources that are available (keep in mind that sources do not need to be on the Internet, but they must meet this policy), it looks like Conn doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability requirements at this point. It is frustrating to see your hard work removed, and four hours might feel like a lot, but it is actually not very much time to spend on creating an article. I'd not say it was a waste of time – look at it as an investment in terms of learning how Wikipedia editing works. --bonadea contributions talk 11:14, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sushant1432 You stated [1] that this image is your own work. That means, in this context, that you took it with your own camera. The same image is on his webpage and linkedin. Which makes it reasonable to guess you have a WP:COI situation here. So, is that the case, or did you just find the pic online and uploaded it as "own work" anyway? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:15, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gråbergs Gråa Sång No, Gråbergs Gråa Sång I don't own the image. I ticked the I own image button, It was a careless mistake when I published the page. I thought it won't be a issue because it was already under the Creative Commons license here. http://en.wikialpha.org/wiki/File:Nick_Conn_Profile_Pic.jpg. Sushant1432 (talk) 13:29, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sushant1432, you are not the first (or even the 1000th) to do that. It happens. And when I look closely, your wikialpha link does say "Content is available under Public Domain unless otherwise noted." HOWEVER, per [2] and [3], my current hypothesis is that that is complete bollocks. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:43, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gråbergs Gråa Sång wait what, it says,"There is no warranty or guarantee from this site. None.".😳. I though this was a legit wikimedia site. Should I remove the image???

I nominated it for deletion on Commons: [4]. If you want, you can add that you agree. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:02, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated talkpage blanking

@Sushant1432, please stop deleting stuff on this talkpage[5][6][7]. Per WP:TPO and WP:REDACT the old stuff belongs here, and you certainly have no business removing mine, @TheWikiholic's or @Bonadea's comments. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:28, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
