Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Draft:Raoul Owens edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Draft:Raoul Owens, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://raoulowens.com/en-gb/introduction/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Editing Wikipedia edit

Hi! Just a couple of important points for you as you move forward with your editing "career":

  • you agreed to not edit articles where you have conflict of interest - as the Founder of Wikipedia says, those with COI should never edit the page directly, but could make suggested edits on the article talkpage
  • WP:COPYRIGHT must be respected: you personally do not have the authority to grant Wikipedia use of copyrighted material from a website, even if you work for them. Such permission must be granted viaWP:OTRS by the official owner. Beware, however, by granting Wikipedia right to it, others may then edit and/or use it in ways you did not anticipate

Hi Eats Shoots an Leaves. Are you a Wiki Administrator? Thanks for the heads up. I will endeavour to put this advice in to action asap. In the mean time I am anxious to retrieve the 'copy' of my inputted text for Raoul Owens page as it took me hours to write the script. Would this be possible. Thank you. Diid Osman

Insanity - Raoul Owens‎ edit

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein

Read the edit summaries and do what they say. Any more reverts will bring about a block. Bgwhite (talk) 07:22, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Dear Bgwhite. I am a novice at all this and your condescending tone was not appreciated. I am not a programmer. All I am trying to do is get some basic info up on this driver. I have removed what little text content there is, save for the top line intro. Thank you. Regards Diid Osman

Photo edit

For the Flickr photo to be used, one of two things needs to happen:

  1. The copyright needs to be changed on the Flickr page. It currently reads "All rights reserved". It needs to be changed to CC by-SA. See WP:CC BY-SA for more information.
  2. Owens' grants permission for Wikipedia to use the photo. See Commons:COM:ET for more info.

Managing a conflict of interest edit

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

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.   — Jeff G. ツ 10:48, 3 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
