Seanan McGuire picture

[edit]

Hi, I just want to let you know that the image of Seanan McGuire you added to the article on 16 November 2020 has been tagged for deletion on Commons because of "missing evidence of permission". I see it was uploaded into Commons by Vaspider on the same day. Is that perhaps you? Are you in touch with the photographer Beckett Gladney? Could you obtain the necessary permission from them to keep the image from being deleted? I really like the picture and I would hate to see it removed. Thanks. —Bruce1eetalk 08:07, 13 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
Yes, that's me. I am not in contact with the photographer - the image was previously on Wikipedia and removed due to "not being recent enough" & replaced with more recent, unflattering pictures that didn't accurately represent Ms. McGuire's appearance. Basically, malicious actors uploaded images from a brief period of weight gain. It was just as silly as it sounds.
I'll try reaching out to Seanan to see if she has contact. Sorry I didn't see this until now, if I get permission I'll reupload if needed. MercyStreet (talk) 06:55, 22 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
Okay, i got in contact with her:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rTGWJLRGm_Wu1WNqg_kIgeXrj4kEydNc/view?usp=drivesdk
She has her BlueSky locked so unless you're logged in you can't see it, so, screenshot. MercyStreet (talk) 08:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
That's great. Would you be able to get the necessary permissions as described here? The original upload was deleted on Commons two days ago. —Bruce1eetalk 08:41, 22 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

Thanks for your contributions to Olivia Bricker. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it has no sources. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Yes, I was in the process of putting the stubs articles in so I could go back in en masse and add the references; it's easier for me to do it that way. Now it has to wait for weeks, which is... inefficient at best. I literally left it for a couple of hours so I could eat dinner? MercyStreet (talk) 06:28, 6 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi, please don't create short stubs with insufficient referencing in the main article space, they will only be sent to drafts, like I've just done with a couple. Baseball players are not exempt from our notability requirements, they need to satisfy WP:GNG, which requires significant coverage in multiple secondary sources.

This is kind of baffling at this point. This article has two citations to WaPo, one to Autostraddle, and another to public radio showing eleven years of notability in baseball... and she's 23!
These articles are about her specifically or feature her as part of a list of other notable WPBL players.
Exactly how many feature articles does a WPBL player need to establish notability? MercyStreet (talk) 14:07, 6 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
