You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
SwisterTwister talk 21:24, 3 August 2016 (UTC)Thank you for uploading File:Gladys Aller Painter.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 23:33, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gladys Aller Painter.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Thanks for uploading File:Gladys Aller Mustard Field.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:05, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Change them to public domain, if they're old enoughto my post makes it seem as if that is something I wrote, which is not the case at all. So, I have moved your comments beneath mine just to make things easier to understand per WP:TPG#Fixing format errors and WP:TPG#Fixing layout errors. I also removed the redundant signature and added a time stamp since the comments are appear to have been made at the same time as part of the same post. I also change the markup in my OP from bullets to numbers, and added the numbers "1", "2" and "3" to your post to make things easier to follow, but other than that I didn't change any of the wording of your posts. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:55, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. AntiCompositeNumber (on vacation) (Leave a message) 01:06, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:David Gitin Author Photo Rio 1980.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
((di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>))
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk)
Hi BlueWind13. I am wondering if the similarity between your username and the "Blue Wind Press" mentioned File:David Gitin Author Photo Rio 1980.jpg#Summary (an image you uploaded) is just a coincidence or if you are somehow connected to the company. If the latter is the case and you've been creating/editing articles on behalf of the company or its clients, then you should be aware that Wikipedia considers you to have a WP:COI when it comes to such subjects. Although COI editing is not expressly prohibited, it is something is highly discouraged and somewhat restricted because of the potential for abuse. Even an WP:APPARENTCOI can lead to misunderstandings with other editors, so it might be a good idea (if you have a COI) to take a look at WP:PSCOI and familiarize yourself with the kinds of edits generally considered OK for COI editors. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:49, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi BlueWind13. As you've probably seen, I've been trying to make little improvements to David Gitin to bring it more inline with Wikipedia's MOS. Most of what I've done, however, has just been WP:GNOME type of stuff, which unfortunately not is not probably going to help save it from deletion. No matter how much we to clean up the article's formatting, etc., Wikipedia notability cannot be established through such editing per WP:ARTN. What is really needed us a couple of independent reliable sources showing that Gitin has received the significant coverage needed for a stand-alone Wikipedia article. Thirst sources don't necessarily be online, but they have to be WP:PUBLISHED. Sometimes it can be tricky to find such sources for individuals like Gitin simply because they aren't well covered by mainstream media, but all that's needed is to show they WP:NEXIST. The members of WP:POETRY might be able to help with this. Just post something at WT:POETRY and see what happens.
I know it probably seems that adding more info/details helps establish notability, but that can be counter productive in cases like this and addition through substraction actually works better. The more unsourced information in the article, the more likely editors participating in the AfD discussion are going to recommend deletion. So, it might be a good idea to strip the article of any extraneous info (stuff can always be re-added later when sources are found) and only leave stuff in that can be properly sourced. I know this can be a hard pill to swallow when you've put so much time into something, but it might help the article survive the AfD. You can get some ideas about what is expected from articles like this from the WP:POETRY page.
Finally, one last option to consider is WP:USERFY. Basically, you request that the article be returned to your userspace as draft. This will allow you to continue working on it and to continue search for better sources. Deleted articles can be re-created, but this is only allowed when the concerns which led to the article's deletion no longer exist to everyone's satisfaction. If these concerns aren't resolved the article will be simply be nominated for deletion again. If you userfy, you can submit the article for review via WP:AFC and the reviewers will make suggestion on what still needs to be done, if anything, to help move from draft to article. Creating articles is a really hard thing to do due all of WIkipedua's policies and guidelines, so AFC can often help. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:04, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
I posted on WT:POETRY asking for help. This all seems nuts to me, because I know he should be included in Wikipedia. I glanced through and 80% of our authors from Blue Wind Press have pages. As well as dozens of other poets I know well. Or knew. But he didn't have much published about him in the mainstream - mostly in small presses and nowadays on blogs. Would a quote from an interview with Michael McClure, on Huffington Post calling him a genius help? Until I read your note here I was going to add it.
I posted a link to the page on the Blue Wind Press Facebook page and it has gotten significant views.
One last thing - I was going to submit the article for review, rather than directly posting it, but I couldn't find the button to click! All I found was move to article... I appreciate your help. I'm not a programmer, and I have a regular job that takes up most of my time. I was only making a few pages recently as a community service. But this experience is convincing me it may be a hopeless endeavor.

BlueWind13, let me help you rehabilitate this article. I gave it a read while closing the AfD and the immediate problem that springs forward is the lack of in-line citations. If you can collect some good reliable sources (as you've already started to do at the AfD discussion) and leave them on Talk:David Gitin, I'll help you work them into the article. Cheers, A Traintalk 09:53, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your help! Much appreciated. I'm at a bit of standstill with that article - but I've gathered some of what I wrote on the AfD discussion and added it to the Talk page. The discussion from Ron Silliman is really the most useful and it would be great to find a way to use it. BlueWind13 (talk)
Thanks for the tips. I find myself too impatient to learn all the rules - but I should slow down and pay more attention. I think I'm signing with too few ~'s - I'll try four next time. (The box wasn't checked.) BlueWind13 (talk) 05:52, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Surrealist Valentine's Ball 1937.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
