3RR Jeffree Star discography

Watch that revert count on Jeffree Star discography. I warned user talk:Jeffreesworld. Should I 3RR you as well? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't think so, because I originally brought up the page to notable status. User:Jeffreesworld keeps on removing my content and they have no say in what goes on the page because they have a close relationship to the artist. Devin Davis (talk) 04:53, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be rude, but this is good news. While we're on this topic, do you think Jeffree Star discography is what you call notable? I know that it still needs work with adding sources and whatnot, but does it have the potential? Devin Davis (talk) 10:34, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for butting in, but that's hardly good news. Representatives of individuals do have a say in an article's content—and barring legal issues, that say is just as much as the one you, I, or any other editor has. Especially with BLPs, my experience tells me we should take into account legitimate concerns of COI editors, and while Jeffree Star does not reserve the right to single-handedly determine the content on the article about him, we might at the very least get a better image for the article rather than the one you uploaded, which doesn't seem to have the proper licensing noted on the source website. But now things have complicated themselves ... I'll try to keep an eye out on OTRS to see if any complaints come in. Perhaps User:Jeffreesworld was being "disruptive", but remember that most of the world is unfamiliar with how Wikipedia works, and I see no good attempt to explain problems on his talk page prior to the block notice—templates and links to tl;dr policy pages don't constitute good explanations. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 03:17, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was peeved with User:Jeffreesworld at the time that I wrote that due to the feud that we were having. Devin Davis (talk) 04:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, yes, I realize that. But my point is that next time you encounter a "difficult" user, it is often more beneficial to the project as a whole to step back, start over with the user, and take a more personal approach. Does that take more time than reverting edits or dropping templates? Yes. But it can end up better for everyone that way. Feuding is never any good; it wastes time. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 06:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Jeffree Star in Black and White.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jeffree Star in Black and White.jpg. 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 03:01, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
