Question from NavinaChhabria (19:33, 6 March 2025)

How do I submit my article for review? I've already published. Can you clarify the process? --NavinaChhabria (talk) 19:33, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NavinaChhabria I have added a template to the article that allows you to submit it to Articles for Creation for review. If you would like to submit it, click the blue button that says "Submit the draft for review!". I will note, however, that your article relies overly on primary sources, and I recommend finding more secondary sources to demonstrate notability. You also appear to have a conflict of interest, which can make writing an unbiased article challenging. Toadspike [Talk] 07:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from LEDDallas (20:39, 12 March 2025)

When uploading photos on Commons, how do I find out which detailed license the photos fall under? I know they're free-use but I don't know what exact license they have. --LEDDallas (talk) 20:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LEDDallas If you're uploading photos you took yourself, you can choose what license you would like to release them under. If you are uploading photos originally made by others, such as photos from other websites or scans of books, then you must make sure that either: 1. the copyright is expired, or 2. the photos are under a free license. If you have a link to the image you're uploading, I can explain in more detail. Toadspike [Talk] 21:00, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is the online archive I'm getting my photos from-

https://untd.smugmug.com/ LEDDallas (talk) 23:22, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any copyright notice for the images there, so I assume the copyright still belongs to the photographer or university. Unless you have evidence of a free license, these unfortunately cannot be uploaded to Commons. If you are affiliated with the university or know the photographer/copyright holder, you can ask them to release them under a free license by following the procedure at commons:COM:VRT/CONSENT.

@LEDDallas I forgot to ping you, sorry. Toadspike [Talk] 13:25, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Здравствуйте как написать о себе биографию ? Я певица Таня Кирим --Таня Кирим (talk) 21:20, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Таня Кирим You should not write an article about yourself because you have a strong conflict of interest. Toadspike [Talk] 08:39, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
