Okay, I am screwing up this uploading of pics and etc. royally. In some cases I tried simply to eliminate the offending image from the catalog--without success. Then I tried to re-upload a file in order to get the form to fill out with the desired information--which, btw is hardly obvious, e.g., What is the source--have you any notion how broad a word that is, especially to a newbie who hasn't been to law school? I filled in all the information pieces, apparently incorrectly. What's a genius to do? They need simplicity as much as the village idiot. Reading minds isn't what they teach at college, is it now?
Suppose I am taking a table from a published book in which the publisher and I jointly hold the copyright (as is the case for some of these improper uploads). As a scholar, that basically will fall under the usual fair use doctrine, and the accountability is answered by referencing the material IN THE TEXT. Why I am having to select from a host of irrelevant licensing elements that no judge would care about is beyond me. The reason the law made the fair use concept simple and streamlined was specifically to do two things: 1) let scholars be scholars and not lawyers, and 2) ensure the maximum breadth of application. The lissues of liability have generated licenses piled on licenses in total violation of the spirit of the original law. Of course for software things are a bit different. But the work of scholars isn't much affected by the mode--book, film, wikipedia, etc. Accountability is accountability regardless the outlet.
So now you know why I am absurdly ignorant of all this licensing stuff. Never ever had to bother with it.
I need to see some examples germane to the items I was uploading so I can use them as templates to give you the information you want. Any suggestions?

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to the page File:Archetypal Function 0003.jpg. Blank pages can confuse readers, and are overall not helpful to the Wikipedia project; furthermore, blanking a page is not the same as deleting it.
If the article you blanked is a duplicate of another article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate revision. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please use the appropriate deletion process. elektrik SHOOS 05:29, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. It was taken from Wikipedia:Notability (people), which is the English Wikipedia notability guideline for persons. I fear that the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles S. Herrman is taking a turn for the worse. The only possibilities I can see are:
All the best. – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 10:38, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Yes, I am completely open to seeking a solution that will satisfy everyone. It doesn't look like the article meets Wikipedia standards for notability and reliable sources, and thus it is very likely to end up deleted, which is likely to result in more personal attacks from Charles S. Herrman and him being banned from Wikipedia for same.
There is, however, hope. It is possible for Charles S. Herrman to gain the notability he currently lacks and thus be eligible to have the page restored. You can help (or perhaps one of Mr. Herrman's supporters wants to help, so I will leave detailed instructions geared toward a newbie below)
First, go to the page as it is now, click on the edit button, then cut and paste the raw wikimarkup to a text editor such as Microsoft Notebook. Save it in three places. Likewise with the images it contains, save them as well. Now you have what you need to restore the page should he become notable, or to move it to another Wiki.
Next, look to see if the material fits the criteria of another Wiki. Many Wikis exist that don't jhave the same notability criteria as Wikipedia, Here are some suggestions:
Scholarpedia:

Biographicon:
http://www.biographicon.com/
Wikibooks:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Subject:Philosophy
Citizendium:

After that, it is simply a matter of Mr. Herrman's trying to get his theories noted by independent reliable sources such as peer-reviewed journals.

I'm fine, thanks for asking, hope you are well too.
I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. Did you write to Guymacon on its talk page, by email or something else? Anyway, to see the old discussions in Guymacon's talk page you have to click the "View history" link on top of that page (but this depends on the skin that you are using). In any case, the following is the link: "
User talk:Guymacon&action=history". I took a look at it, but I found just two posts of yours (as Mr man1951):
If you have more evidences and sources about notability, I think it would be best to drop these evidences in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles S. Herrman.
I copied the last version of Charles S. Herrman article for you ( this version).
Just a friendly reminder of what goes where in case anyone gets confused.
The page "Charles S. Herrman" is for material about the person named Charles S. Herrman. (It is a biography of a living person). As such, it has to meet all Wikipedia standards for notability and reliable sources.)
The page "Talk:Charles S. Herrman" is for discussing ways to improve the article named "Charles S. Herrman".
Same with any other article talk page; they are for discussing ways to improve the articles they are attached to.
The page "User:Mr man1951" is a place for the user named Mr man1951 (who happens to be Charles S. Herrman) to put pretty up much whatever he wants subject to the ordinary rules (no personal attacks, no copyright violations...) Nobody else should mess with it unless to correct a violation.
Same with any other user page.
The page "User talk:Mr man1951" is for discussing the user named Mr man1951. (Thanks, user warnings, etc.) and to leave material that he may find useful. Mr man1951 is free to delete anything placed here; he "owns" the page.

The page "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles S. Herrman" is for discussing whether or not to delete the page "Charles S. Herrman" This is the only place where evidence of notability is guaranteed to be seen by the admins who have to decide whether to delete the article.
It is a common error to talk about an article on a user talk page or to talk about a user on an article talk page. Such comments often get ignored, simply because nobody thinks to look in that place for that material.
Always sign your posts to talk pages with ~~~~, and do not sign your edits to articles.

And, I can understand how you feel and I'm very sorry for this situation.
Sue Gardner of the Wikimedia Foundation commented the Editor Trends Study in the March 2011 Update at strategy.wikimedia.org. The results are not good. Gardner noticed that lots of people, who are trying to become Wikipedia editors, are failing to integrate into the Wikipedia community, which means that the Wikimedia community had become too hard to penetrate.
The result is that "newbies" (new editors of the English Wikipedia, but it is about the same for Wikipedia in other languages and other sister projects) are making up a smaller percentage of editors overall than ever before, and this makes harder for new editors/contributors to join Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure that the number of arbitration processes, articles for deletion, reverted edits, user warnings, sockpuppet investigations, and etcetera is growing. Of course, I totally agree with Sue Gardner deductions and especially when she wrote that "we need to make editing fun again for everybody: both new editors and experienced editors."
I fear that the decision regarding the deletion of the article will be made within just one day or less. So, please, provide all possible evidences on the talk page and in the kindest possible way. For example, was Charles Hartshorne's quote, “a brilliant thinker and writer”, really published by Encyclopaedia Britannica on its 15th edition? That would be a great "proof" of notability, but I got it on Amazon and unfortunately I do not have that edition in hand at the moment. There is no time to lose!
Take care and all the very best. – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 12:29, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I know it's frustrating that editors at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles S. Herrman don't seem to be listening to you, but please try your best to give other editors their due respect; the tone you took in your most recent post doesn't really do anything to help the discussion along. Please also keep in mind that the discussion taking place there is most definitely not a referendum on the validity of Mr. Herrman's work. Thanks, Mildly Mad T C 01:26, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

The result is that "newbies" (new editors of the English Wikipedia, but it is about the same for Wikipedia in other languages and other sister projects) are making up a smaller percentage of editors overall than ever before, and this makes harder for new editors/contributors to join Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure that the number of arbitration processes, articles for deletion, reverted edits, user warnings, sockpuppet investigations, and etcetera is growing. Of course, I totally agree with Sue Gardner deductions and especially when she wrote that "we need to make editing fun again for everybody: both new editors and experienced editors."
I fear that the decision regarding the deletion of the article will be made within just one day or less. So, please, provide all possible evidences on the talk page and in the kindest possible way. For example, was Charles Hartshorne's quote, “a brilliant thinker and writer”, really published by Encyclopaedia Britannica on its 15th edition? That would be a great "proof" of notability, but I got it on Amazon and unfortunately I do not have that edition in hand at the moment. There is no time to lose!
Take care and all the very best. – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 12:29, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I know it's frustrating that editors at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles S. Herrman don't seem to be listening to you, but please try your best to give other editors their due respect; the tone you took in your most recent post doesn't really do anything to help the discussion along. Please also keep in mind that the discussion taking place there is most definitely not a referendum on the validity of Mr. Herrman's work. Thanks, Mildly Mad T C 01:26, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
