Christos Gage[edit]

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for improving the Christos Gage article with all that material you added, as we really appreciate your participation. However, I have reverted some portions of your edits for the following reasons:

Some of the material you added was not supported by any citations of reliable, secondary sources, such as the passage about World War Hulk: X-Men's sales or Avengers Academy being "well-received". Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.
Similarly, you cannot cite one Wikipedia article as a source in another, as you did for the GLAAD Award nomination, as that is circular sourcing.
You removed the secondary photo from the Career section, without specifying a rationale for this in your edit summary. When removing material, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks again! Nightscream (talk) 01:26, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Thanks for restoring the previously-deleted material and adding accompanying sources. Just two things, though:

Sites with user-generated content, such as imdb, are not reliable under WP:USERG.
Punctuation goes before a citation, not after, and without any spaces in between, as indicated by WP:PAIC.

Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 02:14, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh hey[edit]

Ms Fletcher, since you and Mr Gage are / have been involved in the production of Law and Order SVU, I feel you might enjoy Carmen Maria Machado's novella "Especially Heinous"; K. Tempest Bradford recommended it on NPR. DS (talk) 12:06, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of Christos Gage[edit]

Hi RuthCFletcher. When you uploaded the photo of Christos Gage to Commons, you said that the author was Christos Gage himself. Who created that photo? (File:Christos Gage.JPG, File:Chris Gage.JPG) Did you, personally, hold the camera in your hand, aim it at the subject, and take the picture? If not, we need to have a statement of permission on file from the copyright holder at permissions-en@wikimedia.org. WP:CONSENT has the form that we would ask the copyright holder to submit. --B (talk) 11:48, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did personally hold the camera, aim it and take the photo. How can I get it back onto the page? -- RuthCFletcher (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(FYI, for future reference, if you would like to attract my attention to your talk page, please type {{ping|B}} in front of your message.) Wikipedia requires that images be released under a free content license, such as the GFDL or an acceptable Creative Commons license. Both of these licenses require that anyone using your work credit you and release any derivative works under a similar license. If you wish to completely relinquish all rights to your work and allow anyone to use it for any purpose, the Creative Commons Public Domain declaration can be used for that purpose.

Because this image has been previously published at http://christosgage.com/, Wikipedia requires that a statement of permission be submitted for its use. There are two ways that you can proceed:

Choice #1: you can email permissions-en@wikimedia.org with a statement of permission similar to the one found at WP:CONSENT. This statement of permission must clearly state your identity, that you are the copyright holder, and your license. It would be helpful if you could send the email from an address published on the contact page of christosgage.com so that the person processing the ticket can verify your identity. (This is for your protection and the protection of other content creators so that someone cannot email us and claim to "license" your works.) You will get an automatic response with a ticket number. If you let me know what that ticket number is, I can find it and process the message. (There is a 0-day backlog presently, but OTRS volunteers have the ability to pick our a particular ticket to process.)

Choice #2: Modify http://christosgage.com/ or some other suitable location on the website to indicate that you are publishing this image under the terms of the "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license" (or s similar acceptable license). Please let me know when you have done so.

I hope this helps. --B (talk) 17:55, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
