Image copyright problem with Image:Birlinn Limited.pdf

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Birlinn Limited.pdf. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 12:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because the name is that of a company (one about which you have written in Wikipedia).

This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:

1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.

Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Obviously you cannot rename yourself to Birlinn, because that is your current username which violates our username policy. Please review the policy and chose one that is not in violation. When editing with your new username, please keep our conflict of interest policy in mind. - Rjd0060 (talk) 15:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. I am particularly concerned that you bear these restrictions in mind when thinking about creating or editing any articles connected with Birlinn Limited or any of its imprints, authors, etc., since it appears you have some connection with this firm. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Seen the above:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Alex Harvey do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not add these links yourself. Seen your history this may be regarded as promotional. Please discuss on talkpages, and/or provide content in stead of links only. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:12, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Postman Pat, you will be blocked from editing. Dudesleeper / Talk 23:58, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Winnie-the-Pooh, you will be blocked from editing. Old Moonraker (talk) 08:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
