Welcome to Wikipedia[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Jon Wiener. You write well. There is a learning curve with Wikipedia -- if you need help, please ask by writing on my user talk page. It is probably a good idea to look over some of the basic rules of Wikipedia by checking out the first few paragraphs of WP:NOTE, WP:V, WP:GNG, WP:NOR, WP:SPAM. The style manual is WP:MOS. A quickie tool for referencing is this one. I think you'll find Wikipedia is a powerful medium. For example, the pageview totals on the Jon Wiener article are in the 60+/day range; they used to be in the 20s and there are reasons why it will increase to perhaps 100+ during the fall.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:PearsonWidrigDanceTheater.jpg[edit]

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

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], 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 {{OTRS 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 [email protected].

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. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 01:45, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
