A. J. Ghent published[edit]

A. J. Ghent, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you are more than welcome to continue submitting work to Articles for Creation.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Greetings, your article has published, after I put in a little work to find some WP:References for it. It still needs some work, so bear this in mind:

WP:Neutrality is key; notice I removed everything like "he's amazing", "legendary family", etc. Anything that's opinion has to be removed; saying "he's the best guitarist ever" is opinion, saying "he won the grand prize at MTV's 2009 Battle of the Bands" is fact, so that's fine to include. If the article turns into a brag-page or advertising, it'll get deleted, so stick to the facts.
Any sources included must be WP:Reliable sources. Please click the link and read that policy.

If you have any questions, come visit the Teahouse to talk to volunteer mentors:

Non-free rationale for File:AJ Ghent, Beacon Theatre, March 2012.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:AJ Ghent, Beacon Theatre, March 2012.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Darkwind (talk) 02:28, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:AJ Ghent, San Francisco August,2012.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:AJ Ghent, San Francisco August,2012.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Please use WP:Edit summaries[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! MatthewVanitas (talk) 06:51, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:AJ Ghent, Beacon Theatre, March 2012.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:AJ Ghent, Beacon Theatre, March 2012.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:41, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
