Added to Discussion page:

  • This image appears to be uploaded (by me) twice ... I recall that I had difficulty getting the image to "take" in the upload, which could explain why there seem to be two instances of this image and why it is "orphaned" ... this image is a useful addition to the text on this page Jock McKeen to illustrate the current dance project of Dr. McKeen .. so, I would like to have the image maintained for this Wikipedia page. Thank you. William Meyer 17:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • No longer orphaned. howcheng {chat} 00:47, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Is there anything else to do? Or can the image now be allowed to stay? Please advise. Sincerely William Meyer 16:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Virginia Satir images

Hi, I see you uploaded Image:VirginiaSatir.jpg, Image:VirginiaSatir1.jpg, Image:VirginiaSatir2.jpg, Image:VirginiaSatir3.jpg, and Image:VirginiaSatir4.jpg as {{PD-self}}, which means you are the creator (i.e. photographer) of all these images and release all rights to them. Is this the case? Since other languages' Wikipedias have articles on Virginia Satir, I'd like to move the images to Commons, but to do so I need to be sure that you actually have the authority to release these images into the public domain. Thanks! —Angr 13:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am the photographer for these images. Please feel free to move the images to Commons. William Meyer 17:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

just to be sure... did you make a photo of Virginia Satir directly (that would mean you saw the living Virgina Satir through your camera), or did you make a photo of a photo or an image (e.g. in a magazine)? If you didn't make the photo DIRECTLY you have no rights to publish these pictures - then please delete the pictures from wikipedia/commons --BambooBeast 18:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I looked through the camera at Virginia ... William Meyer 23:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! its good to have a picture of Virgina now! --BambooBeast 07:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

Are you familiar with the citation method at Wikipedia? The article Death of Eugene Ejike Obiora is an example of a correctly referenced article - the only example I can think of right now. The general rules are at Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Also Wikipedia:Footnotes, although there seems to be some argument there, mostly I think about whether the reference note should go before or after the period in a sentence.

Additionally, the Arbitration Committee has ruled recently that any science-related (including Psychology) must follow this standard.

All this means that, looking at your article, you have not referenced the article correctly. It takes a while to learn Wikipedia standards. It is important to remember that any editor can removed an unsourced statement from an article. The burden of proof in on the editor of the article to provide support for the validity of the statement. Perhaps you could get someone to collaborate with you and help out. Wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative effort anyway.

Regards, --Mattisse 18:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, in looking at the article more closely, you are not writing it like an encyclopedia article but more like a personal essay. I should put other tags on it for that reason. I urge you to seek some help from other Wikipedians. Perhaps submitting your article to the Good Article review would give you a list of things to work on, Wikipedia:Good article candidates or ask someone from the Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors to help you. The latter may be the best way to go. They will help you and you can learn from them. Regards, --Mattisse 18:48, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I appreciate your suggestions. I will look into this, and decide which way to go to get help ... I want to learn about this so that my articles will have the quality that Wikipedia wants. William Meyer 04:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Followup: Thank you for your suggestion to add the proper citations to this article. I have learned a great deal in this process, and appreciate your suggestion to improve the standard of this article. I will follow this protocol in all my future writings for Wiki.

I removed the "citations missing" tag from this article today, since I have completed the upgrading of the citations to Harvard referencing standard. William Meyer 21:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
