Your page was deleted because it didn't cite any reliable third-party sources to establish that this YouTube show is notable enough for an article. Huon (talk) 02:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese copyright question

Hi,

I have recently created and had accepted an article on the Isuzu Hillman Minx, a car made in Japan during the 1950s/60s. At the moment the article is mainly text except for one image that is in Wikimedia Commons. I would like to make it more interesting by using 2 or 3 images that I have scanned from factory brochures of the period, but I don't want to infringe copyright. The brochures were published in Japan in 1960 and 1962. From my reading of the Wikipedia article on Japanese copyright it seems that copyright expires after 50 years - which suggests it would be OK to upload the images.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Kind Regards, Vic Hughes Lemansvk (talk) 01:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a copyright expert, but those brochures probably are still copyrighted under US copyright law, which has longer expiration periods than Japanese copyright law. Compare Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights. Wikipedia itself is governed by US copyright law. The Commons require images to be free under both US and Japanese copyright law. So while you may want to ask someone more expert than me, I don't think those images would be considered free content. Huon (talk) 02:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bernadette Pajer

My original user name was blocked and I could not edit it so I created a new account and resubmitted the article here with the new user name, Jelafi17. The article was for Bernadette Pajer

Hopefully this has the right references but I can't see it. Jelafi17 (talk) 06:23, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bernadette Pajer

Another question. Can you please make sure the article does not appear twice? I am new to this & did not realize the article would link up again with the original when I created a brand new account. Jelafi17 (talk) 06:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning. You should be able to fix this problem by clicking Edit at the top of the page and removing whichever version of the submission is not needed. I don't think it's anything to do with creating a new account. You may wish to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners to help you in fixing the reference layout in your submission.

Permission for you to use the content is not enough; Wikipedia content must be freely licensed so everybody can re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes. If the Association is willing to release its content under such a license, namely the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License, you can send a confirmation email ([declaration of consent]) to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. However, all Wikipedia content should be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as articles in newspapers or reputable magazines. The Association's own website is not such an independent source. Thus it may be easier to rewrite the article from scratch based on third-party sources than to bother with licensing.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Clicktopurchase

Hello,

The Clicktopurchase article was declined for submission due to the references.

Would you mind please telling me which references were not secondary reliable sources entirely independent of the subject? Is it the interviewss? A number of the references are from Property Week (I gather this is the "80% of the citations are from a single trade journal"), which is a reliable, independent news source and very well-known in the commercial property industry. Is there something wrong with using it as a reference? Please do let me know which are problematic so I can edit these and re-submit, as I have been as objective as possible with reference to both good and bad press.

Thank you.

I added a couple of potential sources to the bottom of the references. I see you already had one of them, The Independent. The other two are from Building Design and a very brief article in The Jewish Chronicle. I'll not be the one to be reviewing this article, but the lack of a significant amount of mainstream press coverage is still potentially quite a problem. It's not that Property Week isn't reliable, just that it is highly specialised and trade oriented and it's pretty obvious many of the articles in it are press-release based, as they are in many of these kinds of publications. WP:Notability (organizations and companies) has more. Given that Neil Singer is the owner of this company, I assume you've also read WP:Conflict of interest. If not, please do and perhaps ask yourself to what extent having this article enhances the encyclopedia and benefits its readers as opposed to benefitting the Singer Vielle company.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/AposTherapy

Hi There I recently tried to post on AposTherapy, It says that it was declined due to using primary sources. I don't know what else to use as they are respected medical Journals, I don't think you can get any better resources?

Can you give any advice on how I can change it so it can be approved?

Thanks Jamie — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikieditmontrose (talk • contribs) 16:17, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They are indeed good high quality sources, the reviewer was mistaken. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:55, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Albatrosses

Root components

The root has many layers that it consists of such as:

1-Epidermis layer (the external layer)

2- Cortex layer (follows the epidermis)

3- Endodermis layer (last layer of cortex)

4- Xylem layer (follows the cortex)

5- Pith layer (the last layer) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meno nana (talk • contribs) 19:28, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be about roots, not about albatrosses. How may we help you? On an unrelated note, I'd be very careful about publishing private details on the internet. Huon (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I now have an idea in my mind for a complicated science fiction novel in which albatrosses, instead of living by eating fish from the sea, enter a symbiotic relationship with some sort of plant, whereby the albatross acts as the plant's root system. The large number of feathers, spread across a very large surface area, you see, is an ideal medium for absorbing whatever nutrients the plant needs. Actually transporting it into the plant, though, is much more complicated, as is the problem of the albatross getting somewhat bored, and also how I can possibly develop a meaningful plot out of this. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:47, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You would be well advised to stop looking at AFC, and possibly to cease editing Wikipedia completely, so you could devote your time fully to this important concept. If Tolstoy had diddled around here he would never have written War and Peace. Thincat (talk) 08:11, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
