Paid contribution

{{paid|employer=Peter Cluskey|client=Peter Cluskey}}

I was reimbursed by Peter Cluskey for some research expenses when working on the Adrienne Cullen page. He also provided me with the photos on the page for which he owns the copyright. He provided the necessary documentation for this. This is the only payment received. Any other editing I do to the page will be as a volunteer. Janep1814 (talk) 15:09, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add photos to article

I'd like to add some photographs to the article. The copyright holder, Peter Cullen, has emailed the necessary details to

		Permissions - Wikimedia Commons <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>

How do I go about adding the photos? Janep1814 (talk) 15:14, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Janep1814, I assume you mean how do you get them uploaded on Commons and not deleted. Again I would suggest Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red as most article talk pages are not seen by many people. There is also Wikipedia:Help desk for questions not related to WiR. TSventon (talk) 16:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I have looked at Commons and set up a category c:Category:Adrienne Cullen for the photos and linked it to the Wikidata item. If you click on the images, three of them have a note in the Summary section saying The Wikimedia Foundation has received an e-mail confirming that the copyright holder has approved publication under the terms mentioned on this page and three don't. You could ask at c:Commons:Help desk, explain what should have happened and ask about the other three. You could also respond to c:User talk:Janep1814#File:About to fly over Malta in an ancient Cessna.jpg. TSventon (talk) 21:20, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm getting the necessary permissions for the three photos that still need the correct copyright information. Can all the photos be then added to the Adrienne Cullen page? Janep1814 (talk) 14:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added an "infobox" and added back the three photos with permission. It would be useful if Cluskey could tell you (roughly) when the photos were taken so you could update the commons descriptions. I don't know whether all the photos are needed, there is a link to commons in the external links section. TSventon (talk) 15:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

The sourcing in this article needs careful checking. For example, the book "Thursday's Child", no page number specified, was used as a source for "Adrienne Cullen was born in Tubbercurry, County Sligo". Looking at the book, page [6] has "Born in County Sligo", but does not mention Tubbercurry. There is no source for her exact date of birth, nor for her parents' names. I wonder how much has been provided by personal communication with Cullen's widower? The "paid research" ought really to have found the sourcing which Wikipedia requires.

Thanks @PamD - I'll search for these details. As a side note, I'm no longer receiving payment of research or editing on this page. Janep1814 (talk) 11:01, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Janep1814 Thanks. Just go through the article and make sure that everything in it is sourced, not to your own knowledge or conversations with Peter, but to reliable independent published sources. I can see that she's a thoroughly "Notable" person with a sad and important story, but content in Wikipedia needs to be properly sourced. PamD 11:10, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD - will do. I'm really pleased that the page is online and want it to be as good as possible. Janep1814 (talk) 13:46, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
