Happy editing! I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:29, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. This is quite a process. All I need to do is create a very brief entry for my Pastor, who is a popular minister on YouTube and has his own internet radio station. I think I submitted a page through Wikipedia Commons. Will that eventually show up in the search engine?

Use of "Minor edit" tag

Hi Jimmcdcmm! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. For example, adding cites to articles, or short additions to the text, as you did at Digital television transition in the United States, Dayton Skyhawks, and Abortion debate, are not considered minor edits.

Thank you for the information. I was just trying to get through the process required for me to create a biographical entry for my pastor, Dr. Larry Ollison. I posted one on Wikimedia Commons, but I need to get it on Wikipedia. I really do not intend to be an active editor. Jimmcdcmm (talk) 13:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In that case it seems as though you are clearly not here to build an encyclopedia and you risk being blocked from editing. Shantavira|^{feed me} 10:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Dr. Larry Ollison short biography.jpg

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

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.org, 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 {{permission 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-en@wikimedia.org.

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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 01:03, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
