File permission problem with File:Andy Hill.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Andy Hill.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 permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter 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 permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at
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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
File Upoads
Hi,
I have been reviewing your file uploads, specifically your claims to be the original copyright holder of the following pictures :
Would you mind clarifying that and how you came to hold the copyright ? Did you for example take the pictures yourself ? Were you asked by someone else to take them ? Other than uploading them here, have you distributed them to anyone else ?
]- Thanks for your e-mail, I think the best thing you can do is to provide ]
- I'll just proactively add that getting the copyright holders to fill out Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries is usually the best approach, as it saves a lot of the back-and-forth we run into with permissions. Do, please, stop by if I can help. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:18, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for our note. What's needed here is not for you to add tags to the article, but to send email verification to the Wikimedia Foundation that you have permission to license these images for reuse. Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries has the address to which the permission should be sent, and it also includes a letter that you can ask the copyright holders to fill out. Once the permission letters have been received, if they are legally usable, the volunteers who respond to emails for the Foundation will add tags to the articles. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, but that statement needs to be mailed to the Wikimedia Foundation, not placed on my talk page, and it needs to be mailed by the copyright holders who have given you permission. (As I understand it, you are not the copyright holder? Mtking says you told him you had consent.) The address that you should mail the permission to is at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. Please ask the copyright holders to mail in that permission. Thanks. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:56, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Block Notice
Re: Block Notice
Hi Mike and all concerned.
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
Ghostrider51 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I believe that my repeated (and entirely transparent) efforts to communicate with Wikipedia's editors regarding the various problems cited in my articles are evidence of my sincere intentions. I've made no effort to deceive or disrupt. My use of a secondary account (Derwydd23) wasn't "sock puppetry" (I didn't know what that meant until I consulted your entry), but an attempt at a "workaround" to what I perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a hostile editor. I am sixty years old and there isn't world enough or time for me to engage in internet deception. I'll confess that a few years ago, I viewed Wikipedia as a questionable source of accurate information at best, and found the very notion of a wiki suspect. That was the genesis, by the way, of the Philby Greenstreet article. I bet a college professor friend that I could create an article about an entirely imaginary person which, if properly formatted and referenced, would not be sniffed out. The article survived for five years. But clearly, things have changed, and I am impressed. That tells me that real people of discernment and erudition, as opposed to bots, are minding the store, and I will use Wikipedia as a research tool with more confidence as a consequence. Frankly, I think you need guys like me making "useful contributions" and not sitting on the bench. Please consider my request to unblock. Thanks. Ghostrider51 Ghostrider51 (talk) 03:17, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I'd be prepared to consider an unblock if you were to agree to not use sockpuppets again, and not create hoax articles. PhilKnight (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

to PhilKnight re: Block Notice
Hi, Phil. I can't access your Talk page, but hopefully I can reach you from mine. I very much appreciate the reconsideration, and am certainly agreeable to the terms of reinstatement. As mentioned, the Philby Greenstreet article was created six years ago. Different times, different mindset, and there'd be no reason to repeat the experiment. As for sock puppetry (now that I know what it is!), I'd never want to wear that sign around my neck again. Looking forward to making a contribution. Ghostrider51 (talk) 03:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I believe I have addressed Wikipedia's major concerns re: citations and verifications. If so, would it be possible to remove the box tags at the top of the page? And thanks for the heads up on the Disney link. I will correct that. It should have gone to The Walt Disney Studios (division). Ghostrider51 (talk) 02:26, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
