Thanks for uploading File:Singel-tray-photo-hi-rez-revise-1.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Shaunosh1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Judy Cheeks, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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. Theroadislong (talk) 10:42, 29 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Shaunosh1. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Shaunosh1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Shaunosh1|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Theroadislong (talk) 12:35, 29 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

User:Shaunosh1 kindly note that I am receiving NO COMPENSATION - paid or otherwise for my edits - as a new user of Wikipedia I seem to have created the wrong impression. I'm finding it extremely difficult to navigate through. But I herewith CONFIRM that I am NOT directly or indirectly compensated for any edits.

Final warning for undeclared paid editing

edit

I'm sorry, but I have reverted you latest set of edits because you have still failed to declare your paid editing. This is against our policy, no matter how well-meaning they were. You will be blocked if you edit on behalf of your client again without doing so. You must read and follow obligatory guidelines at [WP:PAID]] before editing again.

Hi Nick Moyes - I am new to Wikipedia - I am not "Paid" by any individual I have obviously created the wrong impression with my edits. Please direct me to where I can rectify this.
