Kendra Huard Fershee

Hi -- I just submitted an article called Kendra Huard Fershee for publication. It says it can take several weeks to get the article approved. But Kendra is running for Congress and the election is in a month. Can I somehow expedite the process? Thanks! Carolyn

In general, being an unelected candidate for political office is insufficient to meet Wikipedia's notabilty guidelines (see Wikipedia:Notability_(people), particluarly the section titled "Politicians and judges" for details). Also, another editor has nominated the draft for speedy deletion, using the justification that it is promotional and would be unacceptable in its current form even if the individual met notabilty criteria. Finally, we don't expidite the approval of draft articles to meet the personal needs of the article's subject. Deli nk (talk) 02:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Justin Ray Holmes

Justin's middle name is Mark. I am his father..Mark Vernon Holmes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jestercat1313 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

The middle name doesn't seem to appear in any of the sources used as references, so I have removed it. Deli nk (talk) 02:13, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Rekatu

This stub is not much more than a dictionary definition and seems like a good candidate for copying to Wikitionary. However, I'm not familiar with the inclusion criteria over there – would this be eligible? TeraTIX 10:27, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@Teratix: Check wikt:Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion. If you think it fits, tag it with {{Copy to Wiktionary}}. Regards SoWhy 10:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: Thanks! TeraTIX 11:01, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@Teratix:, while I've temporarily tagged it for deletion (pending reliable sources confirming the word), you can follow what @SoWhy: says alternatively. Thanks, Lourdes 11:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@Lourdes: I can't find any sources that use the word as the article defines it, so deletion is probably the correct outcome. TeraTIX 11:21, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

A question about Copyright violation

Hello,

I just discovered these files: File:Luz-Casal Estudio-Promo-17 0192-700x1050.jpg and File:Luz-Casal Estudio-Promo-17 1264-700x467.jpg.

This is clearly a copyright violation. I asked for its deletion in Commons, but do I also have to report this here, or the Commons users will do the necessary actions?

Regards, --Daehan (talk) 12:32, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Why 'clearly' a copyright violation? I understand that the picture was uploaded and licensed under CC0 1.0 by the author and copyright owner herself or her representative 194.174.73.80 (talk) 08:07, 12 October 2018 (UTC) Marco Pagliero Berlin

@Daehan: Thanks for spotting this. Commons should handle it, as there are no local copies of the file on Wikipedia itself. TeraTIX 13:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@Teratix: are you sure? I understand that some files are stocked in wp:en only because they don't have the Reuse rights to be in Commons. --Daehan (talk) 13:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

A file would be held locally on enwiki only if it satisfies the non-free content criteria, which obviously is not the case here. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:17, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Agree with DB. TeraTIX 22:53, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Unable to add photo to Infobox

I am unable to upload a photo to the infobox on a page I created. The page is Antonio Garzya. The photo I would like to insert is AntGarzya facial color shot.jpg , uploaded at 09:01, 9 October 2018. Thank you for your assistance.Jeffmatt (talk) 13:47, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Did you take the photograph yourself, or have you become the copyright holder by some other means? Please read the process for donating copyrighted material. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:07, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@RomolettoRomoletto: We do not delete articles based on a request by the subject. Inclusion of an article on a subject is based solely on meeting the appropriate notability requirements, in this case WP:PORNSTAR, and the Monique Covet appears to meet them. In particular, the subject won two Venus awards. We can change the birthday and other details if you can provide a link to a reliable source (WP:RS). -Arch dude (talk) 19:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Brain fart

Can someone fix the bulleted list at Wikipedia:Files for upload/Wizard/License. I should know how to do this but I'm sleep deprived and I'm drawing a blank on what's wrong. GMG^talk 22:02, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

 Done --Vexations (talk) 22:24, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Much appreciated. GMG^talk 01:10, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Biography infobox “age” feature not working?

Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Mourdock — the infobox shows he was born October 8, 1951, but right now, October 9 at 6:02 pm EDT, it shows his age as 66. Since the source has this .... |birth_date = (1951-10-08) October 8, 1951 .... I wonder if the wikimagic is broken?

Thanks — Jo3sampl (talk) 22:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Pages are cached for performance reasons. A purge updated the age to 67. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:26, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
