Hi,
I posted an insert to the Woodrow Wilson page. Perhaps this was not clear but let me make it clear now.
I am not sure who peer reviewed the article but it is incorrect. The decison to indict Debs was made in the summer of 1918 before Wilson suffered a stroke. As president he was responsible. Debs's indictment was a major event during the Wilson Administraton.
Socialists and IWW members, and yes a few anarchists, were indicted under the Espionage Act for opposing the war and organizing peaceful strikes. It is slanted language to write that they were indicted for "sabotaging" the war effort. Furthermore, the attorney general at the time was Thomas Gregory, not Mitchell Palmer. The brief summary in the entry confuses the Palmer raids and the many arrests made by the Justice Department under Gregory during the war.
I did not just cite a source, I wrote the book. The topic of civil liberties during the First World War is one which I have studied extensively and about which I have published three books.
Frankly, I would think Wikipedia would be glad to have my input.
Rosalux1900 ( talk) 16:35, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
It does seem that Wikipedia is not interested in having authors contribute to Wikipedia entries. I will take this as a guideline and stop here. Your loss.
On the International Rescue Committee and IWW entries my books were already cited. I just added to the entry. The Ford Foundation entry was different.
It seems odd that you would refer to me as an advocacy author. Have you read my books? They are carefully researched. I try to call it as the evidence directs.
You have not answered my points on errors in the present Woodrow Wilson entry. Palmer was not the attorney general during the First World War. Thomas Gregory was the ag. Woodrow Wilson had his stroke after the war had ended. As president, he was responsible for the prosecutions of Debs and the IWW members. Having something peer reviewed does not change historical fact.
Your points on sabotage completely miss the point. As you point out, the Germans engaged in sabotage in the U. S. before the U. S. enteed the war in April 1917. This has nothing to do with the many dissidents who were prosecuted under the Espionage Act for voicing their opposition to the war effort.
Rosalux1900 ( talk) 09:32, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
It does seem that Wikipedia is not interested in having authors contribute to Wikipedia entries.That is absolutely incorrect, and many authors and academics contribute to Wikipedia and are welcomed if they are willing to comply with the simple policies and guidelines that have made this website trusted by hundreds of millions of readers. Please read Wikipedia:Expert editors to disabuse yourself of that notion.
As I understand it, you are holding that I can contribute to wikipedia but without using references to my books or even adding the substantive content of those books. This makes no sense to me and I am not willing to participate on that basis.
Do you have the authority to make this judgment? How about putting me in touch with a wikipedia editor who does know about World War I and Wooodrow Wilson?
Rosalux1900 ( talk) 10:04, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Disclose your conflict of interest when you cite your own work. You are familiar with the relevant literature. Cite the work of other authors as well, or other editors will conclude that you are here to promote only your own books instead of to improve the encyclopedia. Does that say never? I referred you to WP:SELFCITE. Does that say never? I referred you to Wikipedia:Expert editors. Does that say never? Do not ascribe to me things that I did not say. Did you read those links? I hope so.
How about putting me in touch with a wikipedia editor who does know about World War I and Wooodrow Wilson?. I have already told you how to make a formal edit request at Talk:Woodrow Wilson. I have advised you to read the talk page where you can identify editors interested in this article. I have told you to use the "Edit history" tab at the top of the article and the "Page information" tab at the left to identify, with great detail, the contributions of every editor who has contributed to that article. Have you studied those aspects of Woodrow Wilson? If not, why not? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 15:41, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
I joined Wikipedia to make improvements to the page Brand Extension. So far, I have had just pushback. I am the innovator of the concept and coined the term in 1979. I am frustrated that the page is just a bunch of academic references instead of a full explanation of the origin and the concept. I would like to suggest these changes but I keep meeting with resistance. Please let me know if I may be of help or if no one wants to change the page.

it's on rolling stone, in a free article, which is accessible by anyone. i see that it attributes it to pete still, but it's not watermarked or anything.
or is it still not admissible?
Hi Jim. We have notability guidelines for different topics. Right? Among them, do we have any specific criteria for movie characters. Im more into movie related stuffs. Pillechan (പിള്ളേച്ചനോട് പറ) 07:36, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! I have recently made a request for an assessment of the article Puppetry of the Penis on various Wikiprojects. I have been editing this article for over a month for a university class, adding almost 3000 words, new sections, an infobox, media and more references for verifiability. I noticed you were a very active (and helpful) editor on Treehouse, and was wondering if you had the time if you could have a look at the article and provide me any feedback. Any general feedback would be much appreciated and possibly an assessment of the article for importance and quality. Thank you very much. Rubyredgirl ( talk) 10:44, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello Jim - I have sent you three more articles to link for MIMT references, but if this is not convenient for you I can ask for other help. Thanks for all you have done to construct an entry for MIMT and teaching me the parameters - wish I had that conversation with you six months ago, could have saved a lot of time and agony. That's what I get for being a bad directions reader! Appreciatively, Stephen Rice aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 20:21, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Work is inevitable for most all of us! Thanks Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:02, 14 May 2021 (UTC) Hi Jim - I have now sent you two emails, each with three attached reviews to link. I was also trying to reach you about uploading the international release MIMT poster. I tried to upload on WikiMedia Commons, but I don't remember going through that much struggle. If I understand correctly, there is a way to upload specifically for one entry which is how I must have done it before. Here is the discussion from my talk page:
I am currently attempting to upload the foreign market poster, created and used by our distributor, Devillier-Donegan Enterprises. This business was closed over 20 years ago and there is no website to link. I have our contract with DDE, as well as sales receipts. I could email those as verification of our relationship but I don't wish to upload them. My partner and I hold the copyright for this movie and the poster was created for its sales. Please inform me as how to proceed. Thank you. Thedevoutcatalyst (talk) 15:15, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
If you don't own the copyright on the poster you want to upload, it really is neither here nor there that you own the copyright on related materials. Commons would be glad to have the poster if we can get a license from the current holder of its copyright. Probably you'd need to contact the OTRS team to sort out the issues about who is giving permission. I suspect this will involve more of a dialogue than you can handle through the release generator. But unfortunately if the work is "orphaned" and no one can find the copyright-holder to get permission, then our precautionary principle says we cannot accept that, and anyone who used the image would be in danger of the copyright-holder appearing and suing them. Failing the ability to clear rights, it is possible to upload non-free images to the English-language Wikipedia itself for use in an article. Commons is not involved in that: Commons hosts only free-licensed an public domain images. See en:Wikipedia:Non-free content. - Jmabel ! talk 15:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC) One of the co-owners of Devillier-Donegan Enterprises, Ron Devillier is still very much alive. I just emailed him about our film. What is necessary to give his permission as the creator of the poster in service of distributing my film? Thank you. Thedevoutcatalyst (talk) 22:10, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Hope this is something you enjoy, because I'm taking up a lot of your time - with much appreciation, Stephen aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 22:22, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Jim - I was hoping to use information from those articles to replace sentences that I don't have citations for or just supply different information. The one Music Connection article allows me to talk a bit about the beginning of the project, as it was just an idea in March 1982.
If I understand correctly, I may be able to add the international version of the poster, but not while the article is in the draft stage. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 22:49, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
OK, just carefully read everything you said. Good to know about the one poster. The main movie poster (black and white with purple) has a Songfilms International, Inc. copyright on it. I think I am making myself crazy with this and should defer to you. Please try to keep a reference to KCRW and Tom Schnabel in it, as he provided my musical education on Monk and championed the film ever getting a premiere showing. There is a lot of information about Chick Corea's involvement in promoting the film in the Harvey Siders article. The David Henderson article talks about Randy Weston bringing the French footage to us (we actually finished the film and then re-edited to include those two solo piano songs). SF Jazz did present the film 36 years ago, bringing in Jon Hendricks as emcee (that's already referenced). and lastly, a review talks about Jon Hendricks "lyrical narration" confirming he did set the whole script to rhyme. We fought an uphill battle even getting two premieres for this film and it has taken 36 years to finally be seen in the country where Thelonious Monk was born! That's it! I have passed it to you - thank you for your sensitivity. This has been a very emotional experience for me. Appreciatively, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 23:43, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Apparently, I've had that KCRW reference in my draft so long, I assumed it was there, but I don't see it either. While I was looking, I saw the "Japanese video cassette market" confirming the Japanese home market sale. There are many references to it being seen internationally, but I let go of listing all the countries a while ago. Thanks for your thoroughness. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 23:59, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Good Morning Jim -
Well, I see where you are in the edit. I'm finally starting to really understand how Wikipedia articles work. There is no repeated information. You don't list the performers in the body of the text because they are all in the artist box. You don't say the film is a tribute with new performances because the film's subtitle says that. I have not seen your links to the first group of three new (old) reviews that I emailed you. These will give you your missing citations.

Thanks, Stephen aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 14:50, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Jim - I truly believe you are interested in making this article the best it can be within Wikipedia parameters. Thanks for everything AND FAMILY COMES FIRST - ALWAYS!!! Appreciatively, Stephen aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC) Jim, It's wonderful! I can see how carefully you read those reviews. You crafted a beautiful description of the film and I'm so grateful for your patience in allowing me to go through the process of letting go! I could not be happier with the end result - that is quite a writing job! That IS the encyclopedia entry for "Music in Monk Time" and I have no intention of changing anything, only finding a secondary source to confirm the Swiss Film Festival. With gratitude, Stephen Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 06:20, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I'm having trouble even finding the Wikipedia Commons page where I tried to upload the foreign distribution poster. The poster you added is the official movie poster we had designed and printed. I did have the poster professionally digitized, and at the bottom it clearly says Songfilms International, Inc (copyright symbol) 1983. The photo is credited on the poster to Doug Quackenbush (copyright symbol) 1964. He is also interviewed in the film. The poster designer, Brian McCarty is also credited at the bottom of the poster. How do you suggest I proceed to put this to rest. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 07:01, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jim - I was going along with the Wikimedia instructions until I hit this part: I agree to publish the specified content under the following free license: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International I acknowledge that by doing so I grant anyone the right to use the work, even in a commercial product or otherwise, and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws.
I am aware that this agreement is not limited to Wikipedia or related sites.

I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the content may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.
This is our poster, and I don't want anyone reprinting, etc. It is not public domain. I certainly kicked the Wikimedia hornet's nest when I mistakenly uploaded that International poster. I just zoomed in on the encyclopedia image. You can clearly see the Songfilms copyright and the Douglas Quackenbush (photographer) copyright. Please advise, Thank you Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 16:37, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, I've never been good a reading the fine print. So yes, keep an eye open, as I will ask them to take it down ASAP. I will give little to no explanation if possible, as verbiage tends to get me in trouble. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 17:25, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I asked for all three posters to be removed in the discussion page for the international poster. Should I open a discussion for the original poster and ask that it be taken down or is there another place to do that? Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 17:35, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Found the discussion page for the main poster and asked for it to be taken down ASAP - that was clearly the right place to ask. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 17:45, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Wow! That is some really good news, Jim! I was going to send you the link to the SFJazz festival, but you have obviously already found it! Serious Thanks! Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 18:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Jim - I just wanted to let you know that I am so proud to send people the link to the "Music in Monk Time" entry in Wikipedia. I am so happy you saw the value in our old movie and came to my rescue. I am forever grateful, Stephen Rice aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 04:15, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
I certainly will pursue your NYPL idea when I get a moment. I know of at least one interview lined up with the San Francisco Chronicle, which I will be able to send you a digital link to through my online subscription - ahh modern times, finally! Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 05:48, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jim - Look what I just found! (sent to your email address) Can this printed publication support the Jon Hendricks only vocalist ever to record with Monk claim? Also sending you a copy of the original lyrics to a very touching song, along with the accompanying YouTube video, but that's just for you. Thanks again for everything! Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:07, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Good Morning Jim - I just checked the Wikipedia link as I was sending to a dear friend and saw the poster image had dropped off. I am going to email you the image, to make sure you have the one with the best resolution. Thanks again for all that you have done and are continuing to do. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 15:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Ok, I'll send you the fat one on WeTransfer in a minute. Thanks! Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 15:56, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Good Afternoon Jim - just checking to see if you were able to click on that link and download the poster file. I have been a WeTransfer recipient, but never a sender. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 20:36, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey it's the weekend, whenever you get to it, you get to it! I just wanted to make sure I did the right thing on WeTransfer to get it to you. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Jim - Saw that the poster is back up. Thank you for that. Did the WeTransfer file come through? I only ask because you can't really see any detail on the poster and when you click on it, there seems to be a dark spot on the bottom half and it doesn't enlarge. However, maybe this is how it has to be in non-Wikimedia uploads - and I certainly don't want to go there again! Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 01:59, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Good morning Jim - Here's a published account of SF Jazz’s original presentation of MIMT in 1985. SFJazz festival going virtual for second year in a row, this time with a twist.

Me Again - just emailed you a 58KB version of the poster in case it's easier to upload than dealing with the the 4.5MB version. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 13:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Hmmm... now I'm wondering if I WeTransferred the wrong one. The one I sent to your email is 58KB. The WeTransfer file SHOULD HAVE BEEN 4.5MB??? I can resend if you didn't receive both. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 23:40, 25 May 2021 (UTC) Music in Monk Time poster.jpg, I downloaded the WeTransfer file to my desktop computer, and using a simple graphics file, reduced it to 50% in height and 50% in width. The output I uploaded is: (191 × 256 pixels, file size: 76 KB, MIME type: image/png). I have never worked with a WeTransfer file before and was surprised that it seemed pretty low resolution, but I have to work with what I have. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 23:52, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Wow, the email one I sent you has better resolution. Let me do some homework and see what is happening when I upload to WeTransfer. I am using the free version, so maybe it gets changed. I will find a way to get you the 4.5MB file. Thanks again, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 00:06, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jim - Got a message from WeTransfer that you had not yet downloaded the file. I forward that email to you with the correct link that expires in two days. It says the file is 4.25-4.5MB. Let me know if that is not the case. My partner Daria, dariajazz.com has the Pro version of WeTranfer, and with your permission, I will have her resend the file to you and see if the paid version transfers the full file. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 05:04, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
Yeah Jim - Looks WAY better! Thank you, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 05:35, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jim - Last night the new poster download looked beautiful. Tonight it has reverted back to the old low resolution version with the black spot on the bottom when you click on it. What happened to the one you uploaded last night? Perplexed, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 03:36, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
No, we are not freely licensing the poster (thank you for saving me from that misunderstanding!) so it is what it is. Thank you again for all your efforts to make everything related to this entry as good as it could possibly be. With appreciation, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 04:07, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Jim - hope this message finds you and your family well. The SFJAZZ showings did well (by Jazz standards). The first Thursday streaming has covered the restoration cost, so my 25% share of the smaller, Sunday sales might pay for some groceries around here! Question: I have on-air broadcast copies of two radio interviews. In those interviews I talk about the origins of the project and the radio station, KCRW in Los Angeles. Do digital recordings of on-air interviews count as secondary sources to add material to our encyclopedia entry?
Hello Again - I am assuming that the prerecorded interview was preserved. I have requested a digital copy and if I'm successful, I'll send you the file as well. Thank you, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 09:02, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Hey Cullen, thanks for the advice. I've gone through the draft once more to remove more purple prose and unsourced statements, as well as improve neutrality. Would you mind taking a look and letting me know your thoughts? This has been a tricky one for me as the standards for PT Wikipedia seem lower than EN Wikipedia, and at first I was way too reluctant to delete things from the original article, to the detriment of the translation. Actionactioncut ( talk) 11:14, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Well, you know what prompted my inquiry, since you partially blocked the editor in question from editing the articles that they created. My real question had to do with why he thought it was useful to move-rename the article on the opera singer in Wikipedia in order to improve his own Google ranking. I understand why he created an article about himself, which was then pushed back into draft space. That, as noted, will pop up to the top of the Google results. But I don't really understand how changing the name of an opera singer affects his ranking. Oh well. Robert McClenon ( talk) 02:11, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Jim, I have upgraded a stub record on the Australian painter George F. Lawrence and now I would like to remove the stub template/status.

I'm quite new in wikipedia edits. I made an ancestry tree of a notable person using information from wikipedia pages of her parents, and then their parents and so on. I was looking for some ancestry trees of other notable persons and there was no reference mentioned, so I published my edits without mentioning any reference. It got reverted by an editor without mentioning any specific reason. Then I added reference of a website and published it. And it also got reverted as the reference was not a reliable source. Now can I add other wikipedia pages of their parents information as reference? Mehenaz Tabassoom ( talk) 07:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

On the talk page for the LowTierGod article, you stated "There is nothing improper about using stage names, pen names, handles or any other type of pseudonym if that is what the person is best known as. There are countless examples on Wikipedia." Could you post some examples of articles of people who have changed their real name, which is known and recorded, but it only lists their pseudonym? I have only ever seen articles show such cases as 'Sneed Smith (Born Chuck Smith)' or something like that, or at least mention it somewhere in the article. An example that comes to mind is Tommy_Robinson_(activist). This man went out of his way to use the pseudonym Tommy Robinson and people use his real name as a gotcha to mock him, and yet his real name is plastered all over this page. Even if you consider this case different for some reason, I'd still like to know one of these countless examples you cite. -- Blood loss 15:51, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
With identity theft a serious ongoing concern, many people regard their full names and dates of birth as private. Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public.Later on, the BLP policy also says
Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources.As for Tommy Robinson, all you need to do is Google "Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon" and you can readily see that his real name has been published by many high quality newspapers in the United Kingdom, as well as in Israel, Ireland, Singapore and the United States. In the case of LowTierGod, I am unaware that his real name has been "widely published by reliable sources", but maybe you are aware of sources that I do not know about. The one thing that I do know with certainty is that people with a grudge against this person will not be allowed to violate policy when editing the article.

Hi,
I posted an insert to the Woodrow Wilson page. Perhaps this was not clear but let me make it clear now.
I am not sure who peer reviewed the article but it is incorrect. The decison to indict Debs was made in the summer of 1918 before Wilson suffered a stroke. As president he was responsible. Debs's indictment was a major event during the Wilson Administraton.
Socialists and IWW members, and yes a few anarchists, were indicted under the Espionage Act for opposing the war and organizing peaceful strikes. It is slanted language to write that they were indicted for "sabotaging" the war effort. Furthermore, the attorney general at the time was Thomas Gregory, not Mitchell Palmer. The brief summary in the entry confuses the Palmer raids and the many arrests made by the Justice Department under Gregory during the war.
I did not just cite a source, I wrote the book. The topic of civil liberties during the First World War is one which I have studied extensively and about which I have published three books.
Frankly, I would think Wikipedia would be glad to have my input.

On the International Rescue Committee and IWW entries my books were already cited. I just added to the entry. The Ford Foundation entry was different.
It seems odd that you would refer to me as an advocacy author. Have you read my books? They are carefully researched. I try to call it as the evidence directs.
You have not answered my points on errors in the present Woodrow Wilson entry. Palmer was not the attorney general during the First World War. Thomas Gregory was the ag. Woodrow Wilson had his stroke after the war had ended. As president, he was responsible for the prosecutions of Debs and the IWW members. Having something peer reviewed does not change historical fact.
Your points on sabotage completely miss the point. As you point out, the Germans engaged in sabotage in the U. S. before the U. S. enteed the war in April 1917. This has nothing to do with the many dissidents who were prosecuted under the Espionage Act for voicing their opposition to the war effort.

It does seem that Wikipedia is not interested in having authors contribute to Wikipedia entries.That is absolutely incorrect, and many authors and academics contribute to Wikipedia and are welcomed if they are willing to comply with the simple policies and guidelines that have made this website trusted by hundreds of millions of readers. Please read Wikipedia:Expert editors to disabuse yourself of that notion.
As I understand it, you are holding that I can contribute to wikipedia but without using references to my books or even adding the substantive content of those books. This makes no sense to me and I am not willing to participate on that basis.
Do you have the authority to make this judgment? How about putting me in touch with a wikipedia editor who does know about World War I and Wooodrow Wilson?
Rosalux1900 ( talk) 10:04, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Disclose your conflict of interest when you cite your own work. You are familiar with the relevant literature. Cite the work of other authors as well, or other editors will conclude that you are here to promote only your own books instead of to improve the encyclopedia. Does that say never? I referred you to WP:SELFCITE. Does that say never? I referred you to Wikipedia:Expert editors. Does that say never? Do not ascribe to me things that I did not say. Did you read those links? I hope so.
How about putting me in touch with a wikipedia editor who does know about World War I and Wooodrow Wilson?. I have already told you how to make a formal edit request at Talk:Woodrow Wilson. I have advised you to read the talk page where you can identify editors interested in this article. I have told you to use the "Edit history" tab at the top of the article and the "Page information" tab at the left to identify, with great detail, the contributions of every editor who has contributed to that article. Have you studied those aspects of Woodrow Wilson? If not, why not? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 15:41, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
I joined Wikipedia to make improvements to the page Brand Extension. So far, I have had just pushback. I am the innovator of the concept and coined the term in 1979. I am frustrated that the page is just a bunch of academic references instead of a full explanation of the origin and the concept. I would like to suggest these changes but I keep meeting with resistance. Please let me know if I may be of help or if no one wants to change the page.

Hi there! I have recently made a request for an assessment of the article Puppetry of the Penis on various Wikiprojects. I have been editing this article for over a month for a university class, adding almost 3000 words, new sections, an infobox, media and more references for verifiability. I noticed you were a very active (and helpful) editor on Treehouse, and was wondering if you had the time if you could have a look at the article and provide me any feedback. Any general feedback would be much appreciated and possibly an assessment of the article for importance and quality. Thank you very much. Rubyredgirl ( talk) 10:44, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello Jim - I have sent you three more articles to link for MIMT references, but if this is not convenient for you I can ask for other help. Thanks for all you have done to construct an entry for MIMT and teaching me the parameters - wish I had that conversation with you six months ago, could have saved a lot of time and agony. That's what I get for being a bad directions reader! Appreciatively, Stephen Rice aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 20:21, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Work is inevitable for most all of us! Thanks Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:02, 14 May 2021 (UTC) Hi Jim - I have now sent you two emails, each with three attached reviews to link. I was also trying to reach you about uploading the international release MIMT poster. I tried to upload on WikiMedia Commons, but I don't remember going through that much struggle. If I understand correctly, there is a way to upload specifically for one entry which is how I must have done it before. Here is the discussion from my talk page:
I am currently attempting to upload the foreign market poster, created and used by our distributor, Devillier-Donegan Enterprises. This business was closed over 20 years ago and there is no website to link. I have our contract with DDE, as well as sales receipts. I could email those as verification of our relationship but I don't wish to upload them. My partner and I hold the copyright for this movie and the poster was created for its sales. Please inform me as how to proceed. Thank you. Thedevoutcatalyst (talk) 15:15, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
If you don't own the copyright on the poster you want to upload, it really is neither here nor there that you own the copyright on related materials. Commons would be glad to have the poster if we can get a license from the current holder of its copyright. Probably you'd need to contact the OTRS team to sort out the issues about who is giving permission. I suspect this will involve more of a dialogue than you can handle through the release generator. But unfortunately if the work is "orphaned" and no one can find the copyright-holder to get permission, then our precautionary principle says we cannot accept that, and anyone who used the image would be in danger of the copyright-holder appearing and suing them. Failing the ability to clear rights, it is possible to upload non-free images to the English-language Wikipedia itself for use in an article. Commons is not involved in that: Commons hosts only free-licensed an public domain images. See en:Wikipedia:Non-free content. - Jmabel ! talk 15:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC) One of the co-owners of Devillier-Donegan Enterprises, Ron Devillier is still very much alive. I just emailed him about our film. What is necessary to give his permission as the creator of the poster in service of distributing my film? Thank you. Thedevoutcatalyst (talk) 22:10, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Hope this is something you enjoy, because I'm taking up a lot of your time - with much appreciation, Stephen aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 22:22, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Jim - I was hoping to use information from those articles to replace sentences that I don't have citations for or just supply different information. The one Music Connection article allows me to talk a bit about the beginning of the project, as it was just an idea in March 1982.
If I understand correctly, I may be able to add the international version of the poster, but not while the article is in the draft stage. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 22:49, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
OK, just carefully read everything you said. Good to know about the one poster. The main movie poster (black and white with purple) has a Songfilms International, Inc. copyright on it. I think I am making myself crazy with this and should defer to you. Please try to keep a reference to KCRW and Tom Schnabel in it, as he provided my musical education on Monk and championed the film ever getting a premiere showing. There is a lot of information about Chick Corea's involvement in promoting the film in the Harvey Siders article. The David Henderson article talks about Randy Weston bringing the French footage to us (we actually finished the film and then re-edited to include those two solo piano songs). SF Jazz did present the film 36 years ago, bringing in Jon Hendricks as emcee (that's already referenced). and lastly, a review talks about Jon Hendricks "lyrical narration" confirming he did set the whole script to rhyme. We fought an uphill battle even getting two premieres for this film and it has taken 36 years to finally be seen in the country where Thelonious Monk was born! That's it! I have passed it to you - thank you for your sensitivity. This has been a very emotional experience for me. Appreciatively, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 23:43, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Apparently, I've had that KCRW reference in my draft so long, I assumed it was there, but I don't see it either. While I was looking, I saw the "Japanese video cassette market" confirming the Japanese home market sale. There are many references to it being seen internationally, but I let go of listing all the countries a while ago. Thanks for your thoroughness. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 23:59, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Good Morning Jim -
Well, I see where you are in the edit. I'm finally starting to really understand how Wikipedia articles work. There is no repeated information. You don't list the performers in the body of the text because they are all in the artist box. You don't say the film is a tribute with new performances because the film's subtitle says that. I have not seen your links to the first group of three new (old) reviews that I emailed you. These will give you your missing citations.

Thanks, Stephen aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 14:50, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Jim - I truly believe you are interested in making this article the best it can be within Wikipedia parameters. Thanks for everything AND FAMILY COMES FIRST - ALWAYS!!! Appreciatively, Stephen aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC) Jim, It's wonderful! I can see how carefully you read those reviews. You crafted a beautiful description of the film and I'm so grateful for your patience in allowing me to go through the process of letting go! I could not be happier with the end result - that is quite a writing job! That IS the encyclopedia entry for "Music in Monk Time" and I have no intention of changing anything, only finding a secondary source to confirm the Swiss Film Festival. With gratitude, Stephen Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 06:20, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I'm having trouble even finding the Wikipedia Commons page where I tried to upload the foreign distribution poster. The poster you added is the official movie poster we had designed and printed. I did have the poster professionally digitized, and at the bottom it clearly says Songfilms International, Inc (copyright symbol) 1983. The photo is credited on the poster to Doug Quackenbush (copyright symbol) 1964. He is also interviewed in the film. The poster designer, Brian McCarty is also credited at the bottom of the poster. How do you suggest I proceed to put this to rest. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 07:01, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jim - I was going along with the Wikimedia instructions until I hit this part: I agree to publish the specified content under the following free license: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International I acknowledge that by doing so I grant anyone the right to use the work, even in a commercial product or otherwise, and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws.

I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the content may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.
This is our poster, and I don't want anyone reprinting, etc. It is not public domain. I certainly kicked the Wikimedia hornet's nest when I mistakenly uploaded that International poster. I just zoomed in on the encyclopedia image. You can clearly see the Songfilms copyright and the Douglas Quackenbush (photographer) copyright. Please advise, Thank you Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 16:37, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, I've never been good a reading the fine print. So yes, keep an eye open, as I will ask them to take it down ASAP. I will give little to no explanation if possible, as verbiage tends to get me in trouble. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 17:25, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I asked for all three posters to be removed in the discussion page for the international poster. Should I open a discussion for the original poster and ask that it be taken down or is there another place to do that? Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 17:35, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Found the discussion page for the main poster and asked for it to be taken down ASAP - that was clearly the right place to ask. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 17:45, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Wow! That is some really good news, Jim! I was going to send you the link to the SFJazz festival, but you have obviously already found it! Serious Thanks! Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 18:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Jim - I just wanted to let you know that I am so proud to send people the link to the "Music in Monk Time" entry in Wikipedia. I am so happy you saw the value in our old movie and came to my rescue. I am forever grateful, Stephen Rice aka: Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 04:15, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Hey Jim - Look what I just found! (sent to your email address) Can this printed publication support the Jon Hendricks only vocalist ever to record with Monk claim? Also sending you a copy of the original lyrics to a very touching song, along with the accompanying YouTube video, but that's just for you. Thanks again for everything! Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:07, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Good Morning Jim - I just checked the Wikipedia link as I was sending to a dear friend and saw the poster image had dropped off. I am going to email you the image, to make sure you have the one with the best resolution. Thanks again for all that you have done and are continuing to do. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 15:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Good Afternoon Jim - just checking to see if you were able to click on that link and download the poster file. I have been a WeTransfer recipient, but never a sender. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 20:36, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey it's the weekend, whenever you get to it, you get to it! I just wanted to make sure I did the right thing on WeTransfer to get it to you. Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 21:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Jim - Saw that the poster is back up. Thank you for that. Did the WeTransfer file come through? I only ask because you can't really see any detail on the poster and when you click on it, there seems to be a dark spot on the bottom half and it doesn't enlarge. However, maybe this is how it has to be in non-Wikimedia uploads - and I certainly don't want to go there again! Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 01:59, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Me Again - just emailed you a 58KB version of the poster in case it's easier to upload than dealing with the the 4.5MB version. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 13:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Hmmm... now I'm wondering if I WeTransferred the wrong one. The one I sent to your email is 58KB. The WeTransfer file SHOULD HAVE BEEN 4.5MB??? I can resend if you didn't receive both. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 23:40, 25 May 2021 (UTC) Music in Monk Time poster.jpg, I downloaded the WeTransfer file to my desktop computer, and using a simple graphics file, reduced it to 50% in height and 50% in width. The output I uploaded is: (191 × 256 pixels, file size: 76 KB, MIME type: image/png). I have never worked with a WeTransfer file before and was surprised that it seemed pretty low resolution, but I have to work with what I have. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 23:52, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Wow, the email one I sent you has better resolution. Let me do some homework and see what is happening when I upload to WeTransfer. I am using the free version, so maybe it gets changed. I will find a way to get you the 4.5MB file. Thanks again, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 00:06, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jim - Got a message from WeTransfer that you had not yet downloaded the file. I forward that email to you with the correct link that expires in two days. It says the file is 4.25-4.5MB. Let me know if that is not the case. My partner Daria, dariajazz.com has the Pro version of WeTranfer, and with your permission, I will have her resend the file to you and see if the paid version transfers the full file. Thanks, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 05:04, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
Yeah Jim - Looks WAY better! Thank you, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 05:35, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jim - Last night the new poster download looked beautiful. Tonight it has reverted back to the old low resolution version with the black spot on the bottom when you click on it. What happened to the one you uploaded last night? Perplexed, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 03:36, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
No, we are not freely licensing the poster (thank you for saving me from that misunderstanding!) so it is what it is. Thank you again for all your efforts to make everything related to this entry as good as it could possibly be. With appreciation, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 04:07, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Jim - hope this message finds you and your family well. The SFJAZZ showings did well (by Jazz standards). The first Thursday streaming has covered the restoration cost, so my 25% share of the smaller, Sunday sales might pay for some groceries around here! Question: I have on-air broadcast copies of two radio interviews. In those interviews I talk about the origins of the project and the radio station, KCRW in Los Angeles. Do digital recordings of on-air interviews count as secondary sources to add material to our encyclopedia entry?
Hello Again - I am assuming that the prerecorded interview was preserved. I have requested a digital copy and if I'm successful, I'll send you the file as well. Thank you, Thedevoutcatalyst ( talk) 09:02, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Hey Cullen, thanks for the advice. I've gone through the draft once more to remove more purple prose and unsourced statements, as well as improve neutrality. Would you mind taking a look and letting me know your thoughts? This has been a tricky one for me as the standards for PT Wikipedia seem lower than EN Wikipedia, and at first I was way too reluctant to delete things from the original article, to the detriment of the translation. Actionactioncut ( talk) 11:14, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Well, you know what prompted my inquiry, since you partially blocked the editor in question from editing the articles that they created. My real question had to do with why he thought it was useful to move-rename the article on the opera singer in Wikipedia in order to improve his own Google ranking. I understand why he created an article about himself, which was then pushed back into draft space. That, as noted, will pop up to the top of the Google results. But I don't really understand how changing the name of an opera singer affects his ranking. Oh well. Robert McClenon ( talk) 02:11, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Jim, I have upgraded a stub record on the Australian painter George F. Lawrence and now I would like to remove the stub template/status.

I'm quite new in wikipedia edits. I made an ancestry tree of a notable person using information from wikipedia pages of her parents, and then their parents and so on. I was looking for some ancestry trees of other notable persons and there was no reference mentioned, so I published my edits without mentioning any reference. It got reverted by an editor without mentioning any specific reason. Then I added reference of a website and published it. And it also got reverted as the reference was not a reliable source. Now can I add other wikipedia pages of their parents information as reference? Mehenaz Tabassoom ( talk) 07:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

On the talk page for the LowTierGod article, you stated "There is nothing improper about using stage names, pen names, handles or any other type of pseudonym if that is what the person is best known as. There are countless examples on Wikipedia." Could you post some examples of articles of people who have changed their real name, which is known and recorded, but it only lists their pseudonym? I have only ever seen articles show such cases as 'Sneed Smith (Born Chuck Smith)' or something like that, or at least mention it somewhere in the article. An example that comes to mind is Tommy_Robinson_(activist). This man went out of his way to use the pseudonym Tommy Robinson and people use his real name as a gotcha to mock him, and yet his real name is plastered all over this page. Even if you consider this case different for some reason, I'd still like to know one of these countless examples you cite. -- Blood loss 15:51, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
With identity theft a serious ongoing concern, many people regard their full names and dates of birth as private. Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public.Later on, the BLP policy also says
Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources.As for Tommy Robinson, all you need to do is Google "Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon" and you can readily see that his real name has been published by many high quality newspapers in the United Kingdom, as well as in Israel, Ireland, Singapore and the United States. In the case of LowTierGod, I am unaware that his real name has been "widely published by reliable sources", but maybe you are aware of sources that I do not know about. The one thing that I do know with certainty is that people with a grudge against this person will not be allowed to violate policy when editing the article.
