how to unblock

my account is blocked how to unblock — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocker Ritesh (talkcontribs) 11:37, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Rocker Ritesh: Hi. The account you used to leave me this message is not blocked (or you would not have been able to do so). Is there another account you've used that has been blocked? I assume you might mean that your article has been deleted (Rocker Ritesh). Articles are not connected to your account, so the page being deleted has no direct effect on your account. Your article was deleted because it did not assert the notability of the subject. In order for Wikipedia to have an article about someone or something, that person or thing has to be notable. Notability is established, generally, by showing that multiple reliable sources have considered the person or thing important enough to write about in detail. For more info, see this page. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 14:36, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. It worked indeed. --Wefa (talk) 05:01, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:RIMG0002.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

@Stefan2: ...okay, thanks? All I did was move a file, which automatically left a redirect behind. I went ahead and blanked my redirect and left the F2 tag. Cheers, Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 22:53, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No problem! I guess you simply missed a redirect when handling a {{ShadowsCommons}} case. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:02, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that. The help me template usually gets the attention of somebody who has an idea. It hasn't failed me yet. :) Krj373*(talk), *(contrib) 07:20, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Image permissions

Hi, New to this, so forgive what my be dumb questions. I'm trying to polish up the entry on Tom Adams. As he's an illustrator, I'd like to use images. I took some images from his own website. Do I need specific permission from him to use them? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnetts1615 (talkcontribs) 18:55, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Barnetts1615: When you uploaded the images, you tagged them making a very specific claim—that the copyright owner (I'm assuming Adams himself) had agreed to release the images under the GNU Free Documentation License. This is an important claim, because you're saying the owner of the copyright has allowed anyone to reuse the image for any purpose, even their own commercial purposes, if they follow the terms of the license. Where did Adams agree to release these images under such a license? --Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 19:01, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think I got really confused with the process. I had assumed since Adams himself put them up there on his website, that it was ok for it to also be on Wikipedia. You're right--I think I was just blindly clicking things by that point. I've written to him, but is there a simpler category this falls in? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnetts1615 (talkcontribs) 23:17, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi--still confused. I can get an email from Tom Adams saying I can use images on his website. But what category of copyright does that fit into? Still not sure of what to check off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnetts1615 (talkcontribs) 01:00, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Barnetts1615: So Tom Adams would need to email our Wikimedia's email response team giving authorization for the images to be released under one of these free licences. It is not good enough for him to say that he gives permission for them to be used on Wikipedia, unfortunately. He needs to say that he is willing to license those images under a free license that allows anyone to reuse or alter the images for any purpose (including commercial purposes), provided he is properly attributed. The most restrictive license we allow is probably the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License. If he's willing to do that, he would follow the instructions listed at WP:DCM. I hope this helps.
