edit

Any user whom is directly or indirectly involved in the topic/subject of the article is recommended to discuss any major (Excluding vandalism and/or any potentially libelous defamation/incorrect info removals) changes on the article's talk page. Particularly User:Rustyeye, if you need a change made, please bring it here where we will, as a community, consider making it. Thank you. ScarianCall me Pat 21:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sorry (Users: Scarian and Talk), I made a mistake on the NWOBHM remark and was unsure about how to remove the "COI" message. It wasn't my intention to create a vandalism or defamation remark on my article. Rustyeye (talk) 01:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Conflict of interest is when a user directly or indirectly involved in the actual topic/subject of the article heavily edits the said article. It is not vandalism or anything like that; it's simply frowned upon seeing as it may go against the WP:NPOV policy. And there is no such user as 'Talk' it's just the name of this page. If you need any help please do not hesitate to contact me (I will post these messages on your talk page too). ScarianCall me Pat 11:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks man, I'm rather new to this, I understand why this is creating conflict. It would be nice if you could contribute to it as well. Worst case scenario, it gets deleted but the label will be posting it again either way. If you could help me, I would be forever grateful. I could send you to reliable sources and everything. Best, Rustyeye (talk) 19:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image permission problem with Image:Rustyeyewithlogo.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Rustyeyewithlogo.jpg, which you've sourced to Olle Carlsson and Pablo A. Salido. I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL 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 [email protected], 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ==

Wikipedia's Law of Unintended Consequences

If you write in Wikipedia about yourself, your group, your company, or your pet idea, once the article is created, you have no right to control its content, and no right to delete it outside our normal channels. Content is not deleted just because somebody doesn't like it. Any editor may add material to or remove material from the article within the terms of our content policies. If there is anything publicly available on a topic that you would not want included in an article, it will probably find its way there eventually. More than one user has created an article only to find himself presented in a poor light long-term by other editors. If you engage in an edit war in an attempt to obtain a version of your liking you may have your editing access removed, perhaps permanently.

In addition, if your article is found not to be worthy of inclusion in the first place, it will be deleted, as per our deletion policies. Therefore, don't create promotional or other articles lightly, especially on subjects you care about.


  If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Rusty Eye, 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 or creating 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,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.Soundvisions1 (talk) 23:23, 5 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
