• I appreciate your efforts to improve this article, but this wasn't encyclopedic (enough). If this had been a paper in a university class on waste management it might have scored very well but it was too argumentative for Wikipedia. Also, too many of the references were to primary sources. Please look at our requirements for sourcing, and at some other articles, especially Good Articles or Featured Articles for hints on tone and content. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 17:38, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

April 2019

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:SWaCH, from its old location at User:Swmwash/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 12:54, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Wholesale addition of WP:ADVOCACY content

Hello Swmwash; please note that I have reverted some of your recent edits concerning "waste management" from multiple articles as they appeared to be WP:ADVOCACY of a particular viewpoint that also resulted in substantive changes in to long-standing versions of the articles — [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] – (see also WP:UNDUE and WP:RS). You are advised to please discuss these changes on the talk page of the articles prior to restoring the content. You may also reach out to WP:INB to seek more feedback. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 12:23, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Saba Hasan in November 2017.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Saba Hasan in November 2017.jpg, which you've attributed to Saba Hasan. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:37, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to List of Indian artists, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. That template is just a message to editors that the article has protection. If you think you can remove the protection you are wrong and this is not something you should be trying to do. Doug Weller talk 08:53, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Apologies, won't do this again. Swmwash (talk) 09:45, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
