03:49:18, 28 December 2019 review of submission by Wantok Author[edit]
I have now had two photographs that I own the copyright to taken down because some random decided that I didn't own the copyright. I'm getting heartily sick of this. How on earth does anyone actually upload photos? How on earth do you prove to some random stranger that this is your photo? I asked permission of the subject in both cases and they provided the photo to me for the purposes of the entry. This is surely far preferable to me taking a photo of them without their permission or knowledge but uploading it successfully because I took the photo myself.
I'd be grateful for a discussion and reversion of this because it is making Wikipedia feel like a white male stronghold of bias and disdain.

- Wantok Author, Howdy hello! I understand that the photo process can be somewhat annoying. Any photo whose copyright status is suspect is usually taken down quickly, as there are serious legal implications if we host copyrighted material that is not properly licensed. So to help me help you, I wanna clarify the origin of the image. Did you take it, with your own camera? If not, who took it? If it is another person, you must have them email permission to use the photo to Wikipedia. I see that you have a talk page notice of an image deleted under fair use. Be aware that fair use, while broad in some countries, is quite narrow on Wikipedia, and usually does not cover photos of living people. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:31, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
OK - who do I email to? I did not take the photo but know the person who did and can get them to email wikipedia so I can reinstate the photo. Although I note that official photographs are paid for by the person in question and they then hold the copyright - I know both people so can get either to email permission. If someone can point me to where the email should go I can get this sorted out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wantok Author (talk • contribs) 06:48, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Got it. It's not the easiest information to find. Help appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wantok Author (talk • contribs) 07:12, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
09:41:36, 28 December 2019 review of draft by Michaelmonet44[edit]
I was given feedback in October and and made the necessary edits at the top of November but am still waiting to receive feedback or approval. So I am not sure if my last edit has ever been reviewed. Please let me know if I did not submit it correctly or if there is anything else I need to do. Thank you. Michaelmonet44 (talk) 09:41, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

- Shanudeshmukh, Your draft had no sources, and no indication of notability. It appeared to exist only to promote its subject. Creating an article from scratch is one of the hardest things to do here. You might wish to edit in other areas of Wikipedia to get a a feel for how editing works first. You can ask questions about how to edit at the friendly Teahouse. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 09:14, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, there might be a problem with the Draft:Chalkydri. It's not the article itself that seems be the issue. For some reason it redirects to another article called seraph. My article is not a duplicate though. The word chalkydri appears on a sub-section of the seraph article but only because chalkydri and seraph are both considered a species of angel in religious context. On the contrary, their portrayals in ancient texts are entirely different therefore they are not the same beings. If the draft is published I might be able to fix the redirect myself without help, unless it is automatically fixed as soon as it is published. I could give the article a temporary title before changing the link redirect if needed. Also I am not posting this message to make the page reviewer look at my page faster since I know it can take as long as months when I only created the draft yesterday, I just want to make sure my draft is visible to administrators and the like. If this helps, my draft was moved to Category:AfC submissions with the same name as existing articles. Thanks in advance.Prana1111 (talk) 20:52, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

- @Prana1111: the reviewer will take care of the redirect for you. Nothing to worry about. Victor Schmidt mobil (talk) 07:40, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
