A word of advice
editFrom the note on the talk page of Lucia Hwong, I assume you are Lucia Hwong herself. I can also see that you are a new editor to Wikipedia. Think very carefully about writing an article about yourself on Wikipedia and please read the guidelines at Wikipedia:Autobiography very carefully before you take that step. It explains several of the major pitfalls. Once you write an article on Wikipedia, you no longer own it, nor can you control it as you would a personal web page. It will be edited by others for neutral tone, removal of "peacock terms" or promotional language, encylopedic style, and standard Wikipedia format and structure. If you don't want that to happen, then don't add your autobiography.
I've seen your web page. You are definitely notable enough for an article provided the article cites reliable, verifiable sources (which are completely independent of you, your publicist, or your management) to support the claims made in the article. Reference to your personal web site is not enough to establish or verify your notability. However, your web page bio is not suitable as it stands for a Wikipedia article and will need re-writing, re-stucturing, and proper citations. I'd suggest you work on a draft article first in your user space and ask another editor to look at it and give you some advice before publishing it to the main Wikipedia space. To do that click on this link: User:Goddesslh/Draft, make an edit and save the page. It's also a good idea to add this: {{userpage}} to the top of the page. Here are some further guidlines and resources that you'll find helpful:
- Wikipedia:Citing sources
- Wikipedia:Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Notability (people)
- Wikipedia:Your first article
- Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not
- Wikipedia:New contributors' help page (where you can ask live questions)
Finally, on the Lucia Hwong talk page, you said you sent your email to permissions-en@wikimedia.gov. Note that the correct address is permissions-en@wikimedia.org If you need any further help, just ask here on your talk page, or contact me at my talk page. And please remember to sign your comments on all talk pages. The template below explains how. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 07:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as in Talk:Lucia Hwong, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Unreferenced BLPs
editHello Goddesslh! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 2 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Lucia headshot small.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Lucia headshot small.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 21:53, 13 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:53, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Lucia headshot wikipedia.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Lucia headshot wikipedia.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
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 in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:12, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
