User talk:Meverbeaver
Hi Meverbeaver, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your message on my talkpage, and for volunteering to help with the article.
You said you have an image that might be useful for the article's infobox. The first thing to determine is whether the image's copyright status permits its use on Wikipedia. Many images are copyrighted and not eligible to feature in the encyclopedia. If you look at our image guidelines, you should be able to work out whether your image qualifies for free use or fair use. If you discover that it does fit our image use rules, then you can upload the image yourself to Wikipedia's media repository via Special:Upload. It can then be used in articles using the code described at Wikipedia:Images#Using_images - again, assuming the copyright all checks out.
Perhaps the easiest thing is if you let me know where you got the image from, and whether you think it corresponds to our usage policies. Then I can help you with the next steps: just drop me a line! All the best. Gonzonoir (talk) 14:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:FairwayMarket logo.jpg)[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:FairwayMarket logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Meverbeaver, I've fixed this: You'd listed the page that used the image as "Fairway Market Wikipedia page", which the system can't recognise: the exact article title needs to go in that field. I changed it to "Fairway Market" and removed the {{orphaned}} tag, so all should be well on that front now. Gonzonoir (talk) 09:46, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:FairwayMarket_Cold_room.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:FairwayMarket_Cold_room.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 14:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Image permission problem with Image:FairwayMarket_Cold_room.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:FairwayMarket_Cold_room.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. PhilKnight (talk) 21:51, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
promotional language[edit]
please read WP:COI, and our FAQ about businesses. If you do add information about the store, please add in in encyclopedic language, not repeating "Fairway Markets" every sentence, or even every paragraph, or finding excuses to mention the names of the executives, or writing in the diffuse way characteristic of publicity--rather aim for maximum conciseness. Incidentally, you probably are the one to ask, is the coincidence described in the last paragraph authentic, or a rigged publicity stunt? And don't get me wrong, I know & love the place, especially the brilliant idea to expand to Brooklyn, which is why I do not want to see the article turned from an encyclopedia article into an advertisement.
