Welcome!

Hello, Michaelphmccarty, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Aaron Resnick, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?

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

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Aaron Resnick, from its old location at User:Michaelphmccarty/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 01:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Aaron Resnick (May 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Onel5969 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Aaron Resnick and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Resnick wright and henken.jpg

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 File:Resnick wright and henken.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have added File:Resnick and wright.jpg, File:Resnick wright and henken.jpg, File:Floor plan.jpg, and File:Calabi house.jpg to the same deletion nomination. The copyrights on the photos belong to the original photographer(s), the copyright on the floor plan belongs to the Resnick estate. Your scanning them does not remove their copyrights. —teb728 t c 07:06, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Return of images to Arron Resnick

Hi Michael. I have reverted your return of copyright infringing images to display in the article. The only reason the one was left on display is because I have made a claim under fair use, reduced its size, added a fair use rationale, and so forth, so that it is okay to use here under copyright (as discussed at the deletion discussion). It alone, among the others, is okay for display.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:10, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher)Hi Michaelphmccarty. I see you have re-uploaded the files that Fuhghettaboutit has referred to above as File:Resnick, Wright and Henken.jpg, File:Calabi-Picker House.jpg, File:Resnick Floor Plan.jpg and File:A Resnick and Wright.jpg and then tagged them with {{OTRS pending}}. It may take some time for OTRS to check the licensing and verify the permissions emails that you sent. I think the files should be OK to re-add to the article while OTRS is being verified, but maybe you should wait to see what Fuhghettabout it says first just in case. Please understand, however, that the files will likely be deleted if OTRS determines that there is something wrong with the permissions emails.

Two quick things about what you did: (1) I don't think you should've re-uploaded the files; rather it would have been probably better for you to simply edit the already existing files accordingly. Now, there are multiple versions of basically the same files (File:Floor plan.jpg, File:Calabi house.jpg and File:Resnick and wright.jpg) uploaded under slightly different currently existing on Wikipedia. For reference, even deleted files like File:Resnick wright and henken.jpg are not really gone forever; they are just hidden from view and can be easily restored by an administrator if proper permission/licensing is provided at a later date. (2) For future reference, you probably should upload freely licensed files (or files for which you are sending in permissions emails for) directly to Wikimedia Commons. You can follow the instructions at c:COM:OTRS#Licensing images: when do I contact OTRS? in such cases. I would not do that now since that would make three versions of the same files floating around on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. I understand you be anxious to add these files, but I would suggest slowing down a bit before uploading anymore and asking for help at WP:MCQ to avoid any possible problems. Image licesning, as you're finding out, can be tricky so sometimes it actually helps save time and effort by asking for advice from experienced editors first. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:30, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File:Resnick and Wright.jpg

Hi Michaelphmccarty. I am not sure why you've reuploaded this file once again. As I posted in the above thread, even deleted files like File:Resnick wright and henken.jpg are not really gone forever; they are just hidden from view and can be easily restored by an administrator if proper permission/licensing is provided at a later date. Re-uploading essentially the same file might create unanticipated problems and it would have just been better to not do so as advised above. There are now three versions of the same file uploaded to Wikipedia/Commons: File:Aaron Resnick and Wright.jpg, File:Resnick and Wright.jpg and File:Resnick and wright.jpg under slightly different names, when only one is really needed. The file on Commons has been tagged with "OTRS pending" and is waiting verification from an OTRS volunteer. It may take some time for it to be verified because there tends to be a bit of a backlog, but eventually someone will get to it. Even if the file is deleted, it can always be restored after the fact once OTRS has verified it's licensing. So, please just be patient and refrain from uploading any more versions of the file; it doesn't speed up the process and just creates new issues that will need to be resolved. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:02, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Resnick House.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Resnick House.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 06:06, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
