Your submission at Articles for creation: Srinivasa Murty Srinivasula (April 21)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Try to fix the lead section, key awards and distinctions, publications, and maybe you can resubmit it. 🌺Kori🌺 - (@) 20:49, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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:Srinivasa Murty Srinivasula and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Srinivasa Murty Srinivasula, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

File permission problem with File:Portrait of Prof. John R. Yates.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of Prof. John R. Yates.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

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 take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:54, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Walter Bishop. Please note that neither being publicly available online nor being used a lot are the same thing as being within the public domain when it comes to image copyright. In fact, pretty much every image you find online is going to be find online is going to be considered to be protected by copyright unless it clearly demonstrated otherwise. Generally, the person taking a photo is considered to be its copyright holder, and what Wikipedia needs to be able to verify is that the copyright holder of this photo has either previously published it under a copyright license free enough for Wikipedia's purposes or that they're otherwise giving their WP:CONSENT for their photo to be uploaded to Wikipedia under such a license. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
