February 2016

Hello, I'm McGeddon. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Geotagging because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hi McGeddon, I'm new to Wikipedia. Are there any tips you can give to make sure my content isn't being flagged? Thank you.

The section below should give you a lot of pointers about how to handle a conflict of interest, if you have one. If you're claiming to have permission to use all these copyrighted images, then I'll flag them as "missing permission" rather than "copyright violation" - take a look at your Commons talk page over at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Socialsister to find out what to do next about the pictures. --McGeddon (talk) 18:09, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for helping me with my article. I really appreciate it. I'm getting permission for the photos and will send them along to the appropriate email ASAP. Thanks again!

Hi McGeddon, Is it possible to remove the "close connection" alert? I was just interested in the material (and it how I can use wikipedia). Now that it has been edited by you and some others, it should no longer feel like a "soapbox" (although it wasn't meant to feel like that in the first place :)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Socialsister. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 17:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
