A tag has been placed on File:Andrecanniere.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for uploading File:Action-Refraction cover.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
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. 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. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 21:19, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Red Circle (Simon Purcell album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Ruby Murray 15:57, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
You asked "I'm trying to add individual album pages for everything British jazz label Whirlwind Recordings has released. Is that not allowed?" Probably not: Wikipedia is not a "list of everything", but is actually quite selective about article subjects. The main inclusion criterion is WP:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? For albums, see also WP:NALBUMS.
That article was tagged under speedy deletion criterion WP:CSD#A9. The artist has no article, and there was nothing in what you wrote to make this different from a million other albums. Moreover, it has not even been released yet - see the "unreleased material" section of WP:NALBUMS. One reason for that is that Wikipedia is extremely resistant to being used for any kind of promotion; another is that until the album has been released and gathered critical comment, there are unlikely to be the independent sources necessary for an article.
An album article is much more likely to be accepted if the performer has an article. So you would be well advised to start by making an article for the artist, assuming that he meets the notability standard for musical performers, which is at WP:MUSICBIO.
You will probably tell me that you have seen other album articles which consist only of a track listing. The answer to that is at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS: out of 4,400,000 articles, a regrettable number are substandard, but that is not a reason for allowing more.
A useful way to avoid premature deletion of an article is to click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title. That will make a draft page in your user space where you can work on an article, and ensure that it is complete and adequately referenced before moving it to the main encyclopedia.
The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. WP:Your first article has good general advice, and you may find help and advice from other interested users at WP:WikiProject Albums. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 16:37, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

As you are doing it so openly, I am willing to believe that you did not understand how this would be regarded, but undisclosed paid editing of Wikipedia is very strongly discouraged, and may actually be illegal as "covert advertising" under US and European law - see WP:COVERT.
The largest firm in the paid-editing business has been issued with a cease-and-desist order by lawyers for the Wikimedia Foundation, and an amendment to the Terms of Use is planned to make this even clearer.
Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and make no more paid-for entries for your clients that do not comply with the terms of WP:PSCOI: full advance disclosure, and suggestions for others to review, rather than direct edits.
I shall make an entry at the WP:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. JohnCD ( talk) 22:53, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
The article First Meeting: Live in London, Volume 1 (Lee Konitz album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Please do not continue to remove a COI template that has relevance, nor add inappropriate text to an article, as you did here [2]. Thank you, JNW ( talk) 13:23, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
I'd make the disclosure on applicable article talk pages. I haven't gone back through your other articles, but if similar COI issues are evident in those, then this would indicate a broader area of concern. Writing articles for pay here nearly always engenders a conflict of interest--it takes very nimble footing and clear intent. Probably you've already been directed to this policy, which elaborates on the issue [5]. If you disagree with the guidelines, then its discussion page is the proper venue, rather than using various articles to make an alternative case. JNW ( talk) 14:52, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Capri Records (Jazz record label), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page United State ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 08:54, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Jasondcrane, I appreciate your honesty about your COI! I wanted to stop by though and ask that until you learn what is acceptable on WP that you please seek out help from other editors before creating new articles. You can write them up in your sandbox and request comments on WP:REWARD or WP:ASSIST. Currently the articles you have recently created contain many links to commercial online stores and long lists of non-notable items. This creates significant work for editors to clean up. Please note: I am no admin, and this is just a suggestion. But you have created several controversial new articles recently, and would suggest you ask for help before creating another. Thank you.
