Welcome

Hello, KFFOWLER, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Richmond, Virginia have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Sudo Ghost 06:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2012

Your recent editing history at Richmond, Virginia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hello KFFOWLER. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. [[Category:KFFOWLER (talk) 21:32, 29 December 2012 (UTC)Thanks, Anne. Can you suggest any useful TDS references? As I don't have a card number, perhaps you can offer a solution?]][reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of International city theater

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on International city theater, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. role^player 22:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. CharlieEchoTango (contact) 22:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KFFowler, CET here, we talked a few days ago. Please do not create articles with promotional material, especially when taken from elsewhere. Per the message right above, we talk copyright violations very seriously - write in your own words, and in a neutral tone. Thank you. CharlieEchoTango (contact) 22:44, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats, Named Refs

Congratulations on another article accepted.....

Please use named refs instead of ibid, etc. Here is a tool that makes it easy: There is a "Cite" toolbar at the top of the edit window which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code.

You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.

More information can be found in Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):

Hope this helps, Ariconte (talk) 23:03, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Named refs reuse

Once you have named a ref, you can reuse it by clicking on the 'Named refs' clipboard of the cite tool.... see picture above. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 23:05, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I was looking at your article about William Needles, and I noticed that you are a little short of arms-length references. There are dozens of good references to him in the Toronto Daily Star newspaper archive at pagesofthepast.ca. You need a subscription to see the pages, but a lot of public libraries have a subscription. By using my library card number I am able to access pagesofthepast.ca at home.

		The Barnstar of High Culture
		It's an honor to have a content expert like yourself engaging with other editors on the subject of the history of 20th century U.S. theater. Like other editors, I suggest you stop contributing to the article about yourself, but it would be to everyone's benefit if you continued to bring to our attention sources about your life, works, and related subjects.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, KFFOWLER. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article University of California, Irvine, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 00:05, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome, and some image issues

Hi Keith,

First of all I suppose I should welcome you to Wikipedia, even though you've been here for years already. But looking over your contribution history and user talk page I don't see a lot of discussion, so I fear all you've been met with are the more or less automated messages that a lot of new contributors find so Kafkaesque and disheartening. I really hope you've gotten more, and more personal (human), interaction through the Articles for Creation process I see you've made use of, but as it is, like many such processes on Wikipedia, perennially backlogged, I fear that too may have consisted mostly of perfunctory status updates.

So, in any case, a warm welcome to Wikipedia from me! I'm always happy to see more contributors here, and even more so subject matter experts such as yourself. My apologies on behalf of the project if your contributions have seemed to have been funnelled into an uncaring black hole: it's just the inevitable result of an entirely volunteer-driven project—with a, frankly, insane level of ambition and volunteers spread across all the globe—and made all the worse in under-served topic areas like this, which is often what motivates subject matter experts to contribute in the first place. Please don't be disheartened: your contributions are very much both valued and welcome!

Secondly, since you asked for it in a comment elsewhere, I've looked superficially at a couple of your contributions and must say you've done an admirable job of staying neutral even on articles where you have a close personal connection or where you clearly care very much about the article's subject. There are of course issues such as overemphasis on certain aspects or details, and the word choices aren't always as purposfully dry as is the norm on Wikipedia (what we tend to refer to variously as "encyclopedic language" and "neutral point of view"), but my personal take (others may disagree) is that these are minor issues and will be sorted out eventually. So, kudos for that: it's not easy and you appear to have managed it admirably!

Now, to the meat of the matter, and why I'm leaving this message in the first place. I stumbled across your contributions by way of the article on Hamletmachine and the image File:Hamletmachine 1992.jpg that you uploaded. My interest on Wikipedia is Shakespeare, and with copyright law and Wikipedia's copyright policy being what it is, finding more modern images to illustrate articles in that area is a chore: we have plenty of centuries-old paintings, but almost no decent photograps. In other words I was immediately intrigued by this photo and looked through your uploads to see what else was there, and was happy to find a small treasure trove of good photos relevant to our Shakespeare articles. Thank you for uploading these!

However, I'm a bit concerned about the licensing status of at least several of your uploads. I see most of them are labelled as "own work", but this includes images of you in character that you cannot possibly have taken yourself. The way copyright works, the fundamental rights to a photograph vests in the person actually holding the camera, or, if it is a "work for hire" (there's a specific legal definition for that term and one cannot automatically assume that a common sense understanding applies), the rights vest in the entity that caused the photograph to be taken. That means that the copyright for these images most likely vested in either the photographer personally or the theatre company that hired the photographer. In the case of the theatre company, having been the director or manager of the company (as I believe would have been the case for several of them) is not sufficient to give you personally the right to license the images to a third party (in this case, Wikipedia): the theatre company is a separate legal entity, and even after it is shuttered its rights do not cease to exist (its rights are "inherited" along with other valuables like so much office furniture). Also, crucially, owning a physical copy of a photograph or the act of scanning such a copy does not create any copyright that is relevant to this situation.

I go on at length here because I know from experience that this mess is hard to wrap one's head around (to the average person, none of it makes a lick of sense). We've had wonderfull unique contributions from subject matter experts like yourself that have had to be deleted because it was impossible to determine the licensing situation for them. In some cases because the uploader didn't actually own the rights (those were sold along with the desk lamps and makeup tables when the company ceased operations), and in some cases because the uploader wasn't around any more and even though they probably did own the rights, the files were not sufficiently tagged to be able to verify this to Wikimedia Legal's satisfaction (even on Wikipedia, the lawyers have the final say on matters within their purview).

So in light of that I have a request: for the images you have uploaded, would it be possible for you to clarify the copyright situation? If you're willing and able, I could make a list of those of your uploads that most obviously needs further details added for you to look through. And I would obviously be happy to help in any way I can.

If, in view of that beurocracy, you are still motivated to contribute more images in the future, those of us working on Shakespeare-related articles are always on the lookout for photos to illustrate: a particular play; a particular character in a play; a particular scene or speech; a particular adaptation or production; or a particular actor, director, or scenographer's (etc.) work. While not something I often work on, I know we have several articles on Shakespeare festivals where it would be useful with images that illustrate the festival overall or a particular current or historic performance venue for the festival. I realise, of course, that this is in effect asking you to jump through hoops while asking for handouts, but in the case that you have some inner motivation to help improve Wikipedia, this listing of areas sorely lacking will hopefully be of some use in picking areas where your contributions would do the most good.

PS. As I write this I'm about to leave on a trip and will have marginal to no access to Wikipedia for the rest of the week, and consequently won't be able to respond should you see this message and answer during that time. You should, of course, similarly feel no obligation for any particular level of timeliness in your response, if any. One of the particularities of a global and entirely volunteer-driven project is that participants may edit at unpredictable and variable intervals, driven by real life events that must needs take precedent. If you would like to be certain that I see any response you can use the {{ping|Xover}} or {{re|xover}} templates (both of which will display as "@Xover: "), or otherwise link to my user page (a normal wikilink to User:Xover, like [[User:Xover|Xover]], will do), I will get a notification to remind me to go read it. --Xover (talk) 06:05, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Xover: Is this the right place to reply to your message of 15 July? It has been a very long time since I used this aspect of Wikipedia, so forgive me if I am writing in the wrong place. I read your message with understanding but also with some despair. Wikimedia does not offer many designations or subtleties to attach to the shots we upload. Your clarification of copyright regs is helpful but problematic too, only because it is at odds with the general (lay) practice in theater. We are quite used to claiming ownership of photos taken *for* us, and I am sure that in many cases the photographers, many of whom were amateur or semi-pro, would be surprised (a) that we should return to them for clearance and (b) that we should even know decades later how to reach them! In some cases I did take photos of my own productions, and in a few instances I set up shots (now called "selfies") of myself. I would need to see a list of questioned pictures to know which fall into these categories. If you wish to take the time to identify the photos that trouble you, I'll do my best to recall their origin. My best guess is that this will lead to withdrawing some photos, as I am now retired and not about to undertake much research. It would be helpful to us all if Wikimedia/Wikipedia had its own system of researching copyright based on the information we can supply in response to a short list of legal questions. If such a process exists I have not seen it. I know this is asking a lot of a consumer-edited site, but I'm sure it would greatly increase the quantity of photos available to articles.
