File source problem with File:Adanna Duru C-Heads VIII.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Adanna Duru C-Heads VIII.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 16:51, 29 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Adanna Duru C-Heads VIII.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Adanna Duru C-Heads VIII.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 01:58, 30 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

August 2017 edit

  Please do not remove file deletion tags from file description pages on Wikipedia, as you did to File:Adanna Duru C-Heads VIII.jpg, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. FASTILY 00:10, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Ayo wpgm. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Adanna Duru, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Karst (talk) 09:04, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

December 2021 edit

 

Hello Ayo wpgm. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Ayo wpgm. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ayo wpgm|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.
Your username leads me to believe that you are, broadly construed, receiving a benefit from the writing of this article. I note that you have not complied fully with the WP:COI warning above. You must vary the declaration in your user page
FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 21:13, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, thank you for your message. I am the owner of the business and I thought the COI on my user page was sufficient. Please let me know what would be the best declaration for this.

I previously mentioned 331dot that I declared a COI as I am the business owner, I went through the AFC process as I thought that is what I should do but that I didn’t think this counted as being an employee as I am not being paid to create the draft, but I wasn’t sure whether I still needed to add the paid/employer/client declaration. I do want to do what is best practice.

I was then advised by 331dot that “An owner of a business editing is a gray area of the paid editing policy, as no one is paying the owner to edit, but the owner has an indirect financial benefit with their editing about their business. You may not need to comply with the letter of the paid editing policy, but I would advise you to at least post on your user talk page that you are the owner of the business“.

Should I just add that I am the owner of the business on my user page or would there be a more specific declaration I can add?

Please do advise, many thanks for your help. Ayo wpgm (talk) 21:48, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

As the owner of the business you expect to receive a reward, broadly construed, from that business and thus your business rewards you for creating the article. The construct in the notice I left for you will meet that need perfectly. I differ from your prior advisor in that I feel 100% transparency is the best route. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for doing so FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:39, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I have added the declaration on my userpage. Could you help check it out and see if it’s done correctly Ayo wpgm (talk) 22:39, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:We Plug Good Music edit

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 21:24, 30 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
