__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Leeds_Wikipedia_meetup_on_Saturday_4th_May","replies":[],"uneditableSection":true}}-->

Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.

Full details here.

You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)

I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page.

Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.

Good morning Mr. ColinFine!

I hope you are doing well today sir. I am still awaiting your answer to the questions I have posed previously in The Teahouse regarding the said topic abovementioned. Basically, I would like to be clarified what you, as an editor, consider as "notable, reliable, and independent sources", as stipulated by the Wikipedia guidelines for acceptance of articles for publishing.

I have checked again and again my sources, and they certainly pass the requirements of notability, reliability, and independence. I still am perplexed as to why you and the other editor/s are insisting they are not. I have adequately explained what kind of sources they are, mostly news articles from news agencies and scholarly pieces that are highly credible and well respected up to now.

I do not want to enter into an impasse Mr. ColinFine. As I have suggested in the previous correspondence, kindly check for yourself the sources I have mentioned -- the links are all there! And if a famous person like Maria Ressa, who I forgot was also a Nobel Peace Prize Awardee in 2021, decided to interview Ms. Paat-Dahlstrom for her views on the democratization of space, isn't that enough evidence that what Paat-Dahlstrom had to say was noteworthy enough to be published in that news publication?

Also, I would

Again, I thank you and the rest of the editorial team for your time and efforts to improve on the drafts of newbies like me :).

I look forward to your pleasant reply.

Warm regards,

Eleni

P.S: I am not sure if this page is the right venue to follow up my query regarding your "guidelines". I could not answer back on the chat trail that was initially opened for the topic above. So I had to open another query on your user page.

Hello, Eleniofillyria. It's OK to ask me here. I didn't see your reply at the Teahouse because you didn't ping me, so I didn't get a notification.
You seem to have misunderstood what is meant by an independent source. Your first reference, for example from GMA news online, is clearly not independent, because it is obviously based on an interview,
Wikipedia is basically not interested in anything that Paat-Dahlstrom says about herself, or that her colleagues say about her - it makes no difference whether it is actually published by her or a news organisation.
If GMANews publishes an article about her that is a reporter's independent research and analysis about her, that could be an independent source. If it is merely reproducing what she says about herself, it is not.

Sir I am facing problem in adding some images on an article because it is saying again and again that it is a 'non free image' what do now? UnKnownrNone (talk) 03:30, 7 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240707033000","author":"UnKnownrNone","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-UnKnownrNone-20240707033000-Hi","replies":["c-ColinFine-20240708105100-UnKnownrNone-20240707033000"]}}-->

Hello, UnknownrNone. It's hard to answer questions like this when you give me no specific information at all (eg, what image were you trying to add to what article, what stage of the process were you at, how did that message come to you?)
So I can only give you general advice.
First, you understand that uploading an image and adding it to an article are two quite separate processes? I'm guessing that you had the problem when uploading, but I'm not sure.
Second, you understand that Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia are very careful indeed about copyright, much more so than many places on the internet, and that an image cannot be used unless you are clear that its copyright permits this?
Most images you find on the internet, and most screenshots from films, videos, and games, are copyright ("non-free"), and may not be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons at all. Sometimes they can be used in a Wikipedia article under very strict limitations explained in the non-free content criteria. If all these criteria are met, then an image may be uploaded as non-free media to Wikipedia itself, and used in an article. The uploader needs to explain how the image and its use meet all the criteria.
One common use for non-free material is for covers of books, albums, games etc, in articles about the particular book, album, games etc: if that is what you are trying to do, it may be permissible. But if you are trying to include a screenshot of a game (I'm guessing what you're doing, on the basis of your user contributions), then problaby not. See WP:NFCI.
Does this help? If not, you'll need to provide more specific information. And I'm not sure quite why you asked me rather than asking at the Help desk or Teahouse, where many people would see your question and be able to answer it.

Hi ColinFine, thanks again for your help over at the Teahouse yesterday.

I have been back into the A. Gary Klesch talk page and tried to break my suggested edits up to make them easier to review. As in many cases I am simply proposing adding sources or removing unsourced material it is difficult to break it up more than this, however I hope this helps!

Would you be interested in reviewing and sharing feedback on the changes?

Thank you so much
