Hello SkyIYip.

I am your course online ambassador. This means that I will try to assist you to get your article into Wikipedia, using the style and techniques required here. I am a volunteer working from Australia, so m timezone overlaps with yours quite a bit. You are welcome to ask me questions on my talk page or to use email on this screen: Special:EmailUser/Graeme_Bartlett.

I am looking forward to your new article and your improvements to Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:12, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:Monazite geochronology has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Monazite geochronology. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 04:12, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Some of these could be drawn by you to look like a real image. They could be used to illustrate the article, even if you could not get real data from them. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:39, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Non free images

Hello SkylYip. Sorry I did not tell you more about this before. There are ten criteria that have to be met in the WP:NFCC. The main one that all your images fail to meet is number 1 "No free equivalent". In all the cases if you had the equipment, and some monazite, you could produce similar images that would serve the purpose. In practice non-free images can be used for covers/packaging of films, books, music; logos; photos of dead people that can no longer be photographed; and historic things that do not exist any more. I don't know if your university has the equipment to take x-ray photographs, ot the other micrographs in the pictures you had, but you could certainly draw a new histogram or graph. Even though the publisher gave permission for use on Wikipedia, so that you did not breach copyright, all the subsequent uses have to be permitted too. So we need "free" image license. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:38, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

I understand your point. I am trying to seek some help from my university, or produce illustration by myself. Thank you so much.SkylYip (talk) 01:24, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
