Welcome!

Hello, Damjana12, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style
• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Replaceable non-free use File:Mark Kotter in BBC Surgeons At the Edge of Life.png

Thanks for uploading File:Mark Kotter in BBC Surgeons At the Edge of Life.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:03, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your message and for bringing this to my attention. I understand the concern regarding the first non-free content criterion. I believe that the file "Mark Kotter in BBC Surgeons At the Edge of Life.png" can be replaceable by a freely licensed file. Damjana12 (talk) 10:23, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Damjana12. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 14:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello 331 dot,

Thank you for your message and the important guidelines regarding conflict of interest (COI). I appreciate the emphasis on maintaining the integrity and neutrality of Wikipedia content. My contributions are made purely in the interest of providing accurate and reliable information, adhering to Wikipedia's content policies and learning how to become an editor. Damjana12 (talk) 10:14, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Please communicate with me without using an AI.(82% certain according to GPTzero). Your post above uses a lot of words but says nothing. What is your general relationship with the subject of your edits? 331dot (talk) 12:10, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your message 331 dot. What is GPTzero? I'm sorry if you think my words says nothing. I want to emphasise that I strive to maintain a neutral standpoint as I know encyclopedia is source which provide knowledge based on facts. I base my contributions on thorough research from various reputable sources such as research papers and media outlets. My focus is on enhancing articles related to biology and medicine which is my field of interest. If you have any specific concerns or questions about how I approach editing, please feel free to let me know as I am keen to learn from this community and would like to keep contributing.

I chose to create the page on Mark after I watched this series on BBC where he is performing the operation and then I watched some more videos and I started reading about all his work which I'm thinking it will change the future of the medicine most likely this is super inspiring, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nik8yYeVFo8, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrVQXHmxH7Y&t=1s Damjana12 (talk) 12:46, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

GPTzero is an AI written text detection tool. Talk page posts are not expected to be grammatically and stylistically perfect. AI also has difficulty capturing the specifics of a situation and usually writes in broad, glowing terms.

How did you get access to Dr. Kotter to take this image of him where he posed for you? 331dot (talk) 14:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Hi Damjana12. Just going to add two things to what 331dot posted above.

First, please be very careful when adding YouTube links to any Wikipedia page. One of the ones you added above seem to be in violation of WP:YOUTUBE and WP:COPYLINK; so, I removed it. If you added that particlar link to other Wikipedia pages, you should remove it.

Second, it's better for you to be as transparent as possible about any connection you may have to Dr. Kotter because it will make it much easier for others to help you. If Dr. Kotter meets Wikipedia:Notability (people), then there's no reason why a Wikipedia artice about him can't be written. If, however, you're connected to him in a more than casual way, then you might not be the best person to do so as explained in Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. In particular, if you've been tasked or otherwise contracted to create a Wikipedia article about him, you will almost certainly need to comply with Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure because a failure to do so would be a violation of wmf:Terms of use and could lead to your account being WP:BLOCKed. Such an outcome would not only be bad for you, but perhaps Dr. Kotter too. Given that Wikipedia is part of the WP:REALWORLD, any attempts to inappropriately create or edit content about Dr. Kotter on Wikipedia will be there for everyone to see; so, please try to make sure you're more WP:HERE than WP:NOTHERE going forward. If, by chance, you've been using AI to reply to 331dot's above posts, please stop. It's much better for other WP:WIKIPEDIANs to hear from you than some bot, even if you think your posts might not be written in perfect English. Wikipedians can be a pretty understanding bunch, and they'll be happy to help you whenever they can as long as they feel you're being upfront with them. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:19, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
