File permission problem with File:JennaMourey.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:JennaMourey.jpg, which you've sourced to Jenna Mourey. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 {{OTRS 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.

Your article Passage du milieu

Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Passage du milieu to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It currently has been listed at Pages Needing Translation, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you. Rubinkumar^Talk 05:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Oxford pictionary: I'm a bit puzzled. You quite correctly did not create the article here in French, but instead wrote a stub on the topic in English (all as it says in Wikipedia:Translation). However, your first version of the page merely consisted of a sentence stating the article exists on French Wikipedia. That was a bit strange. Why didn't you wait till you'd written the stub? Also, where on French Wikipedia? The article fr:Passage du milieu is on the Middle Passage, as demonstrated by its interwikis; it just uses two references about the film (which for some reason you didn't make use of - I have done so). The film may well be notable, so thank you for writing about it, but I'm scratching my head here ... Yngvadottir (talk) 13:50, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Devil Wears Prada as chick lit

Per your comment here, I have restored the term with the addition of two sources, one a newspaper article and the other a collection of feminist literary criticism on the subject, that describe The Devil Wears Prada as chick lit. Daniel Case (talk) 05:10, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but per your edit summary, I have two issues to raise:

Why do this just for the article on probably the most successful book in the genre? A number of other articles, some of them also about individual works, use the term. If we make this change, it should be done globally.
Putting it in scare quotes and referring to it attributively is POV. I'm not saying that not doing that isn't POV. But if we make a change like this we need some good reasons why and a strong consensus behind them. Especially when the chick lit article, as it currently stands, does not mention any of your criticisms in its criticism section (which is not to say they're not valid). Why not add some material to that section, and start the discussion at Talk:Chick lit? Daniel Case (talk) 23:36, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hits (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Under the Radar. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

NNDB as a source

Hi Oxford pictionary. I noticed that you recently used nndb.com as a source for biographical information in Edward Furlong. Please note that the general consensus as expressed at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#NNDB is that it does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks.--Ronz (talk) 16:50, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
