WHY THE HELL DID YOU DELETE MY PHOTO OFF THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE ABOUT MEEEEEE???????????? I DONT HAVE PERMISSION FROM MYSELF TO POST PHOTOS OF MYSELF ON A WIKI ABOUT MYSELF?? WHAT THE HELL!!!!!! PUT IT BACK ASAP! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redplanetent (talk • contribs) 05:22, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

You uploaded an image File:Mars Photo By Jim Fierra.jpg which is attributed to Jim Fierra saying that you are the copyright holder of the image and licence anyone to make any use of the image, anywhere, including commercial use which means the effect on the copyright holder of the photo could be quite great, if, for example, someone starting making copies of the photo and selling them, denying that revenue to the copyright holder. The copyright is normally held by the photographer who took the photo not by the subject of the photo unless there are different arrangements under a contract. So without proof that the copyright isn't held by Jim Fierra Wikipedia isn't prepared to take that risk of possibly breaching someone's copyright. As the notice posted on your talk explains Wikipedia needs to see evidence that either Jim Fierra as the copyright holder gives his consent for the image to be used or that he isn't the copyright holder and the person or company that does own the copyright gives permission. That can be in the form of an email sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org but it does need to include a statement from the copyright holder agreeing to publication. Once that consent has been submitted and checked out then the image can be restored but not prior to that. NtheP (talk) 07:53, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Phil Rice

The article Phil Rice has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 23:13, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Very interesting but I didn't create the article. NtheP (talk) 09:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Silver overlay on porcelain and glass

Hello Nthep, I am 50 year old German (more concrete from Swabia) - first of all: my English is not perfect but I will try my very best. My article is about a very special technique to decorate non-conducting surfaces like porcelain and glass with purest silver by galvanization. This technique and the knowledge about it is almost forgotten. Most of German Silver overlay was produced in or around Schwäbisch Gmünd from end of 19th century. In this town which is also known as ´Silver City´ was a big exhibition in 2010 about Silverworks from there. Even a few Silver overlay items were shown in one glass cabinet and a bit was written in the catalogue but when I requested the exhibtion-makers about more details they couldn´t help me. Very bad experience ! I was in the city-archive to make more research, I contacted the artist Hans Kloss - one of the last "survivors", who learned the making of ´Silver overlay´ as a young guy in one of the firms close to Schwäbisch Gmünd (http://www.hans-kloss.de/texts/keramik.htm). I also contacted Mr. Otto F. Götz, who is the most important collector and archivist for glass by Jean Beck; a lot of his glass was enobled with Silver overlay. When my article was declined with reason of ´no reliable sources´ I answered that there are almost none. The reviewer told me that one reason could be how ´Silver overlay´is written and that he googled a lot of so called ´results´ very quick. But all you find are items of porcelain and glass. But no knowledge based of facts. Now I added Literature and Weblinks from my Germany Wikipedia article about Friedrich Wilhelm Spahr - (the English version about this maker of Silver overlay should follow after this first try in English Wikipedia). I simply don´t want that these arts and crafts will be forgotten and hope for upgrading by others when the article will find it´s place in Wikipedia finally. Sorry for that long text - I really hope that you can help me here in ´Teahouse´ !Silberbelagwaren (talk) 09:54, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, as your English is so much. much better than my German I don't think you need to apolgise for it :-) I've had a look at your draft article and I agree with the last reviewer, User:SarahStierch, that this is a much needed article and all it really needs is some inline citations. What Sarah means by this is that the sources you have listed just need to be linked to specific bits of the article text. So, for example, in the History section you have written In 1907, his experiments had paid off and won him prestegious awards at The World Exhibition in Bordeaux., if one of the sources you have listed say Gotz's 2009 article refers to this then you need to add <ref>Gotz, November 2009, page 40</ref> to the end of the sentence. So it would end up looking like this:
Markup Renders as 
In 1907, his experiments had paid off and won him prestegious awards at The World Exhibition in Bordeaux.<ref>Gotz, November 2009, page 40</ref>
== References ==

{{reflist}}

In 1907, his experiments had paid off and won him prestegious awards at The World Exhibition in Bordeaux.[1]

References
  1. ^ Gotz, November 2009, page 40
Does this make sense?
You can use each source as many times as you want to support what the article says but you should aim for at least one reference for every paragraph in the article. Don't worry if the referencing isn't perfect. As long as I or another editor can look at it and realise what it is meant to say we can improve the referencing but what you need to do is to tell us which reference supports which article text. I hope this helps and you can understand what I am trying to say. NtheP (talk) 12:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you very much for that quick and real assistant help. I will try that with the inline citations. Concerning the catalogue of exhibiton 2010 in Schwäbisch Gmünd I would really like to link to it´s pages but there is no online version available. Can I anyway name the pages where information is given ?Silberbelagwaren (talk) 13:08, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Don't worry that a source isn't available online, a full description of the print document is enough. The policy is that should anyone want to check the source out, they have enough information to know what to look for, so title, publisher, date etc for a print document fulfil this requirement. NtheP (talk) 13:30, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Nthep, I "updated" now my article and learned intensivly about sense and importance of inline citations. Could you check once more or do I have to make ´officially´ a new resubmit ?Silberbelagwaren (talk) 17:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I've had a quick look and there are some sections that need more references like the first paragraph on Technique and the whole section on The Marks but I think if you resubmit it again it's more than likely that it will be accepted. I suggest you resubmit it and leave a message on Sarah's talk page to ask her to be the reviewer as she was the reviewer who asked for more references. NtheP (talk) 10:45, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

File:Bronze sculpture of a Swallow-tailed Kite by Lee H. Letts, 1981.jpg has a copy at commons as well. Is the same ticket# valid over there?

Deleted image 2

You've removed Brown_and_McLeod at SASH. I have permission from the copyright holder. I thought I clicked through everything and made that clear but if there's something I missed please advise. I'd like to keep the photo up for a client. Many thanks in advance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Illliterature (talk • contribs) 21:57, 5 July 2013

You uploaded the image File:Brown and McLeod at SASH.jpg saying that evidence would be provided on request. On 27 June notification was posted on your talk page saying that the permission needed to be produced to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, you haven't produced that permission so the image has been deleted. If you can produce the permission then the image can be restored. NtheP (talk) 21:10, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Image restored

I hope you won't take it as a personal affront, but I've undeleted File:Brittany Murphy grave.jpg. I put an explanation on the discussion.

In essence, I see this as part of a very troubling epidemic of editors thinking of WP:PUF as some kind of deletion discussion, when it is not. Lately, all anyone has to do is nominate an image and then refuse to discuss it, and the image will be deleted by default after some arbitrary period of time. That's not the purpose of PUF. The purpose of PUF is to dispute sources or licensing information of the images themselves, not to discuss content. There is no dispute that I took the photo, or that I released it as GFDL. If you (or someone else) dispute the content of the image, and would like to take it to WP:NFCR, you are of course free to do that. Kafziel Complaint Department: Please take a number 20:57, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Not affronted in the slightest, I erred in closing rather than referring it to NFCR (or inviting the nominator to do so). NtheP (talk) 21:02, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

File:Cardenio.jpg

I asked Future Perfect at Sunrise to re-add the image in The History of Cardenio without avail. Shall we ignore his threats of block by re-adding the image, or shall we abide to his word? Since you declined the DI-replaceable tag, maybe I hope you can either boldly re-add it image or talk to him? --George Ho (talk) 19:46, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I only declined the speedy as the image is already listed at Files for deletion and procedurally it is wrong to have two deletion processes running in tandem. NtheP (talk) 19:52, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Oh... I must have done bad grammar. I meant the image; sorry. George Ho (talk) 21:59, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
I'm talking about the image as well. Once it was listed at FFD with a discussion running, it would be wrong for an admin to speedily delete the image as it isn't clear cut. NtheP (talk) 22:04, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
So can you re-add the image in the article then? George Ho (talk) 22:14, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Anyone could, but whether they should is a different question. The FFD discussion needs to run its course, a decision reached and the the fate of the image is known. The image being currently in an article or not, is not relevant to the deletion discussion. NtheP (talk) 22:24, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Lou Reed

Hi, Nthep. I'm only seeing his death reported in Rolling Stone, and apparently there was a Facebook hoax about his death perpetrated Friday[1]. It might be prudent to remove the death info from the page and lock it pending confirmation from other sources. ---- Rrburke (talk) 18:25, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

It's already protected. Main line news stories are starting to pick up the report from Rolling Stone so might be a wait and see. Either way we have the ability to have been caught out. NtheP (talk) 18:30, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, all other sources are citing Rolling Stone. Wikipedia is not the news, so I don't see much harm in removing it pending more info. Might be better than helping spread a hoax. ---- Rrburke (talk) 18:36, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy del of "Vera dick"

Hi, I've seen the speedy del notice about Vera dick you posted to me: I've moved from my talk and added to the real author's one: Thenick777. Just to clarify that I'm not the author I explain what happended: The page was saved as redirect by an user. After it, I've moved the title to the correct one: Vera Dick with capital "D", then I corrected the double-redirect link of Vera dick. After it, Thenick777 started to edit Vera dick (again)... and it resulted technically created by me. In that time I've seen nothing because I was out for walking. Anyway, due to the reiterate creation of this article despite warnings and in write only (I've seen by del log that it's the 3rd attempt), I'll watch user contribs. In case of another creation I'll notice him here. Regards :-) --Dэя-Бøяg 20:43, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
