Image Tagging Image:Joe Locke 2.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Joe Locke 2.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged imaged will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much.
The same also apply to the following images:

Image Tagging for Image:Joe_Locke.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Joe_Locke.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Hi, and welcome to the Biography WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of biographies.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure tips outlines some things to include.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every biography article in Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! plange 21:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Ask for help
[edit]Dear Nadworks
I have seen you are interested in philosophy and cinema. Then I would like to ask for a favor. Would you please comment on Abbas Kiarostami, the article I have been working on recently. I want to bring it to GA status. Any helps will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time. Sangak 20:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
[edit]Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Marimba.jpg
[edit]Image:Marimba.jpg is a image used without permission under fair use. Furthermore, the copyright owner and source are not specified. I intend to nominate it for speedy deletion but, considering it is used on many many pages, I don't want to jump my guns. Would you be able to provide the copyright owner, copyright status, and source of the image by Tuesday? I would appreciate it. --Iamunknown 04:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Most album covers have no license, but are instead fully copyrighted. What evidence corroborates with your claim that this particularly album cover is licensed for free use? --Iamunknown 17:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I designed it; I am the graphic designer who created it; it is my work; the label (Wire Walker Music) belongs to us. The photo is used in the booklet and was commissioned for the album design.--natz 16:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- What page on http://www.siulagrande.nadworks.com/ is the image included in? --Iamunknown 06:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- *sigh* it's not included on any page on that site. Why does it have to be on any website? Please ref. to a Wiki rule that makes this obligatory and I quickly create a page on that server and stick the photo on it. I'm sure that's not the idea of this excercise, but if that's solves this annoying issue, I'm happy to do it. Here are screenshots of my CD design: http://www.joelocke.com/projects/duo_VGbN.htm . Can we please resolve this now? Pretty please? --natz 17:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Joe Locke Tokyo2005a.jpg)
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Joe Locke Tokyo2005a.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 22:03, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bobbyhutcherson-joelocke-072007.jpg listed for deletion
[edit]An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Bobbyhutcherson-joelocke-072007.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 21:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- No. The copyright holder does not allow it to be used free for any purpose. -Nv8200p talk 03:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe this is better now - I have looked at various other photos used across Wikipedia, and saw this particular tag a lot (i.e. on Image:277862945_e2ed62f332.jpg). Hopefully this will be okay to avoid deletion. Please advise, if not. If you could just tell us, which tag to use otherwise, that would be much apreciated. --natz 06:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:GeoffKeezer_JoeLocke_2004.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:GeoffKeezer_JoeLocke_2004.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 22:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5
[edit]
 Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mutual Admiration Society JoeLocke.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Mutual Admiration Society JoeLocke.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Image source problem with Image:JoeLocke ChristosRafalides 2005.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:JoeLocke ChristosRafalides 2005.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree (talk) 18:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Mike Lindup 01 wikipedia.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Mike Lindup 01 wikipedia.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:07, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Tommysmith.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the 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 CC-BY-SA 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 file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file 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 file'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.

File copyright problem with File:Level42 hampton-court 2009 02.jpg

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Orphaned non-free image File:Album cover, Joe Locke, Lay Down My Heart.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Album cover, Joe Locke, Lay Down My Heart.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:23, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:54, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
I'm aware of the rules. I'm not promoting my business. My business is 'nadworks' which does not have a Wikipedia page created by myself. I'm helping Jazz artists maintain their profiles here, which I am NOT being compensated for. I am not promoting these artists through Wikipedia. I am using my knowledge and insight of the Jazz scene to improve and correct music related entries. I would appreciate to get unblocked in order to continue contributing on a neutral level to Wikipedia content. Please advise.
Decline reason:
Clear violations of our terms of use and of WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. You will not be unblocked to write about your clients. Yamla (talk) 11:25, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

globally renamed Nadworks to NMKNvonMassow and unblock discussion
[edit]I've globally renamed Nadworks to NMKNvonMassow. I am not comfortable performing the unblock without further elucidation.-- Deepfriedokra 17:26, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Agreed. To NMKNvonMassow, it's great that you donate, but doing so(or not) has no bearing on your Wikipedia activities. Donations are handled by the Foundation, not us editors. What articles or topic areas are you interested in editing? 331dot (talk) 20:30, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- First of, let me apologise. I set up the username 'nadworks' so long ago (long before it even remotely turned into a business in 2012) - and I was simply not aware of the strict rules that have now been applied to one of my contributions/edits for the first time. I have never taken money for Wikipedia edits incl. this recent one. So, thanks for reviewing my case.
- I'm very involved with Jazz, both as a professional and as a fan. That would be the main area in which I could add value and provide substantiated original content. This also covers original photography.
- Sorry, but this does appear to be exactly true. You've been promoting a client or clients in Wikipedia for the last fourteen years; it's not really imaginable that you worked for those clients for all that time without financial recompense. Your former username nadworks appears at the foot of this page from 2005, so clearly you (or at least somebody interested in promoting Joe Locke) were/was already using it then. I haven't gone through your contributions in detail, but I noticed edits to Diana Krall; she's on the NADworks client list here. Given the lack of transparency here, I'm against any consideration of unblocking at least until we've got a clear picture of what's been going on, with a list of all client articles edited. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:26, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Just glancing further up this page, Busby Productions, Gary Husband, Tommy Smith and Mike Lindup are all on the client list here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:34, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- I guess the money donation thing is great, but I wonder what percentage of your earnings from exploiting Wikipedia that amounts to. I think you might owe the WMF a Hell of a lot more. And you are wasting our time with your malfeasance. Frankly, I've given thousands of hours of my time to build and protect this encyclopedia, and I suspect anyone who has the dedication and commitment to become an admin has as well. Convert those many unpaid hours into money, and the sum is quite substantial. So please, don't play the "donor card". -- Deepfriedokra 23:15, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Really appreciate the thoroughness. I'm trying to figure out how I can prove to you that all edits happened without payment and that the content of the edits are not promotions. I am friendly with all individuals you list and can demonstrate that I was not earning money with nadworks until much later. I feel I'm "fighting" a losing battle though. Had I known at the time that it would lead into such an unfortunate situation I would have passed on the support at the time. I am genuinely acting out of passion, which I think can also be seen based on the very few edits I have actually made - especially recently. I think the most recent content I added was simply new award listing and album release to the Joe Locke page. I am hoping that does not count as promotion, since anyone could have added those. I'm obviously at your mercy, but fear that whichever guarantees I make, it seems 'guilty until proven innocent'. I do appreciate you taking care of my case, despite the increasingly harsh tone.

Request reason:
I would like to kindly request a review of my indefinite block. I do fully accept the conflict of interests, since my agency is now affiliated with artists whose profiles I edited. I would like to take the relevant steps to fully declare any connections with the subjects using the correct templates: Template:Connected contributor and Connected contributor (paid) once relevant in line with the disclosure guidelines. The above-mentioned artists are the only edits I'm aware of having made. I went through my contribution history and could not find any further potential conflicts of interest than those: Diana Krall, Mike Lindup, Joe Locke, Busby Productions, Gary Husband, Tommy Smith (saxophonist). I'd also be happy to publish a full list of clients with a Wikipedia profile on my own profile for additional transparency, although I have no intentions of editing any of their artist profiles to avoid further issues. As a passionate Jazz-enthusiast and a CRM professional I would however love to re-start contributing to the Wikipedia project again and adding informed insights to related topics if I'm allowed. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to add transparency in order to support my desire to be re-instated. --natz 20:54, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
- the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
- the block is no longer necessary because you
- understand what you have been blocked for,
- will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
- will make useful contributions instead.

I'm wondering if an administrator has had a chance to review my case yet, or if I can add to the above for further reassurance that I'm clear about the guidelines and keen to start contributing to my expert subjects as stated above. I was meaning to also state that I am English/German bilingual and would like to specifically help with relevant language versions of topics relating to Jazz, digital media and the music business in general while staying away from conflicts of interest. natz 18:31, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Please do not include the request for a new user name in your unblock requests. You have been renamed. Please leave out the "-spamun|NvMassow|" part. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:49, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- @NMKNvonMassow: "Informed insights" sounds lovely-- but. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so personal knowledge is of no value. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." I'll leave this in case someone else feels more optimistic. No objection if reviewer accepts request. Thanks --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:54, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Many thanks and completely understood. I do not intend to make edits and updates without reputable and accurate citations and references. natz 19:04, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:
I would kindly like to request for my indefinite block to be lifted. *I fully understand that content and contributions to Wikipedia must be 100% factual and backed by independent and reputable sources. I will not attempt to publish or attempt to submit any content that does not fulfil that standard and therefore cause damage or disruption to the platform. *I will not contribute to any subjects or topics that are or could be seen as a conflict of interest. If ever, I am aware that I should instead follow Wikipedia guidelines and suggest constructive amends (again backed by facts and independent sources) on the relevant talk pages on such occasions, while fully declaring any direct or indirect connections with the topic or subject in a transparent and open manner in line with Wikipedia. I have read and understood the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest rules. *I completely understand how important these guidelines are and how lack of compliance endangers the Wikipedia project as a whole. Therefore, I would not do anything that could compromise the Wikipedia integrity. *If I'll be lucky to have my block lifted, I will exclusively focus on useful contributions, and cite and phrase any content accurately and within the Wikipedia guidelines. The period of having been blocked allowed me to become more familiar with the intricates of the Wikipedia regulations. I entirely understand and completely subscribe to the importance of these rules and am determined to become a contributor who adds genuine value. I would greatly appreciate another chance and thank you in advance for your consideration. natz 13:28, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

- Many thanks for reviewing my latest unblock request, @Yamla. I am sorry that I'm continuously failing to make a positive case for the block to be lifted and that I seem to be unable to express in the correct, acceptable and convincing wording that I genuinely fully understand the rules, that I have all intentions to contribute accurately and add to the value of the Wikipedia platform. I know that I am not going to cause damage to Wikipedia. It makes me sad that I'm not being given another chance but I accept that this is the only process. In lieu of further help or guidance, I assume this is a lost cause and retreat from any future attempts to be reinstated into the Wikipedia community. 82.36.101.14 (talk) 14:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
