September 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "SapphireDreamPhotography", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, institution, company or website. Please note that you may only edit on behalf of yourself, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 76.102.49.177 (talk) 22:01, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

I have read all the rules and agree with you. However I can not figure out how to change my username.

Read Wikipedia:Changing_username and then request the change at Wikipedia:Changing_username/Simple. Meters (talk) 22:52, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Your proposed name change to SapphireDream has been rejected as still being promotional. Please try another name with no obvious connection to your company. Meters (talk) 18:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Pics

Two problems with the pics you keep adding.

1. You're not discussing them on the talk page.
2. They appear to be self-promotional for your own work.

The solution to the first is easy. The second requires you to create a new username. 76.102.49.177 (talk) 22:26, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:A Golden Retriever at the Beach.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:A Golden Retriever at the Beach.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I have left you a response to your question on the talk page for the picture you uploaded. ~Adjwilley (talk) 22:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:A Golden Retriever at the Beach.jpg

Deleting the notice will not change the outcome. Your picture will be deleted if you do not fix its permissions. It's your picture and you can give us permission to use it, you just have to do so correctly. Any Wikipedian could take a picture of a golden retriever to replace your picture, and so you cannot claim fair use on your image. Meters (talk) 19:04, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Your attention needed at WP:CHU

Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. NTox · talk 03:24, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
