User talk:Vixhenry

Hi all, I am new to Wikipedia. I am trying to write a page for the grammy winning record producer, Rob Fraboni. He has produced Bob Dylan, The Band, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, the Beach Boys, Bonnie Raitt and was a VP at Island records under Chris Blackwell where he remastered Bob Marley's entire collection. He is quoted and referenced on many pages relating to these artists and their records but has no page of his own. I was trying to post his biography but got copyright violations. I have worked with him for 12 years and have been collaborating with him on his autobiography, so I know my information is accurate. The biography I am trying to put up is his bio of record, written by Joe Viglione (with permission) and posted on many other sites (so I am getting a copyright violations). I would welcome help on this, as I also have to put up his discography and link to all the other pages with the artists. Thank you. Vixhenry (talk) 00:35, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability

You need to provide more references, and in a format that allows other editors to verify the information you are putting in the article. Right now, Joe Vigilone, All Music Guide is not enough to go on. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 00:15, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Rob Fraboni

The article Rob Fraboni has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Need Help!

How does the review process work?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I got a message that my article on Rob Fraboni was proposed for deletion and I'm not sure what to do. I put 3 sources there, but also, a lot is also referenced by wikipedia itself. His name is mentioned and he is quoted all over wikipedia, on the Bob Dylan and the Band pages, the bonnie raitt pages, and many others music pages where he worked on the records. Most of the facts I wrote are about records he worked on, which is easily verifiable, and I posted a link to his discography on discogs.com because it was so long I didn't have the time to type it all in to the page. I know what I am writing is true because a some of this I have personally witnessed and what I didn't was told to me by either the subject or the artists themselves. Vixhenry (talk) 19:11, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are actually many possibilities this action can take. Much of it has mostly to do with what you want to do. I might have advised you to submit your article through Articles for creation to avoid the possibility of this type of deletion request. If you can improve the article to meet the sourcing requirements for a WP:BLP, you should do so. when the article is within guidelines more than likely the nominating editor will withdraw the WP:PROD.

question about saving a page I'm working on that's not ready yet

Hi! I'm working on a new page and I can't finish it all at once. I saved it on the userpages/vixhenry.... Is that the right place to work on something gradually that doesn't go live and can't be deleted like the sandbox? Thank you

You should really build your new articles using the sandbox. Your User page is normally for you to tell everyone a little bit about yourself. The Talk page (this one) is normally for messages and conversations between you and other Wikipedians. Now you've released your Sharon Gannon article, it'll probably save confusion if you wipe it from your User page and write something about you there instead. You've got a paragraph at the top of this page that you could move there, I think.

Don't worry, I made exactly the same mistakes, WP is verrry confusing for newcomers :) Sionk (talk) 14:40, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. CutOffTies (talk) 09:09, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jivamukti logo

Hello Vixhenry - concerning the higher-res Jivamukti logo that you uploaded and substituted into the article: it is not clear to me how you are able to authorize the release of this image under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. This is a trademarked image, owned by Jivamukti, andn can only be released by Jivamukti. The low-res image that I had uploaded and used was done so under the very limited fair use Wikipedia:Non-free content status (see also Wikipedia:Logos), and is justified for use specifically because no other similar image CAN be found...

Wikipedia needs to be very careful about trademark infringement, so unless you are a legal representative of Jivamukti Yoga, Inc. and are releasing its trademarked logo into the public domain (a situation which I higher doubt is the case) then I will have to revert the image to the old one and refer your uploaded logo for speedy deletion.

Rob Fraboni image

Hello Vixhenry - I just wanted to give you a heads-up that the Rob Fraboni image on your article is up for deletion. The editor who flagged it it seems to think that you are Sharon Gannon (lol) but the primary issue is that unless you are it's creator, Scott Albertson, you need to obtain written authorization from the creator for the image to be released under CC. For any image uploaded, Wikipedia requires that it is one of the following:

Own work: You own all rights to the image, usually meaning that you created it entirely yourself. (example, see below for details)
Freely licensed: You can prove that the copyright holder has released the image under an acceptable free license. Note that images that are licensed for use only on Wikipedia, or only for non-commercial or educational use, or under a license that doesn't allow for the creation of modified/derived works, are unsuitable. (example, see below for details)
Public domain: You can prove that the image is in the public domain, i.e. free of all copyrights. (example, see below for details)
Fair use: You believe that the image meets the special conditions for non-free content, which exceptionally allow the use of unlicensed material, and you can provide an explicit non-free use rationale explaining why and how you intend to use it. (example, see below for details)

Disambiguation link notification for September 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sharon Gannon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ravi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Vixhenry

Thank you for creating Steve Chadie.

User:PK650, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thank you for the biographical article on Steve Chadie. If the article gets nominated for deletion, please know that under WP:MUSIC, having been nominated for a Grammy for "Heaven" by Los Lonely Boys makes him notable.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|PK650}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

PK650 (talk) 04:38, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you {{Re|PK650}} Steve Chadie was already mentioned on 14 other wikipedia pages before I made the page. I haven't made it to all of them to link his name back. He has exclusively engineered Willie Nelson's recorded material for almost thirty years, which, considering Willie Nelson's importance as an artist, I would think that makes Steve Chadie important as well. If this page is nominated for deletion, what can I do?

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mike Greenhaus (July 29)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Of the three best sources, the JPost article is good, the other two are not. the Glide Magazine one is an interview, and I didn't listen to the podcast, it is an interview right? Interviews aren't great for establishing notability, please see Wikipedia:Interviews for why. So we need more independent coverage of the subject, in my opinion he is likely not notable.

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.
