Tm806891

Welcome!

Hello, Tm806891, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Francoise Baylis, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

Thank-you for bringing this to my attention. I am brand new to Wikipedia as a contributor, and was unaware of where it is possible to do this, and apologize for not informing myself more before submitting my contributions. I have since provided disclosure both on the User Page of Tm806891 as well as on the Talk Page of the article "Françoise Baylis." Tm806891 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

I hope you might still allow me the chance to revise the current submission to make it fit with the expectations for such an article to be published with Wikipedia. I have tried to read the articles you recommended (as given below) on guidance and rules for writing for Wikipedia but own that I have not yet drilled down on all the links within each. Please advise if you might consider proof reading my revisions and if so--though I'm not presuming this--how you would want to receive these revisions: where I should put them, and how much at a time (e.g. sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, section by section, etc.)? Tm806891 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Please pardon me: I'm new and don't understand this concern. I've tried reading around to better understand what the concern is, but am still ignorant of what I might need to change. My user id belongs to me as an individual: it is not the user id of a company or group of any kind. Tm806891 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

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).

Thank-you for making me aware of this. I have made sure to give a full disclosure on the User Page of Tm806891 as well as on the Talk Page of the article "Francoise Baylis." In the future, I will sign statements in the edit summary with, for example, "Edit of 'Career section' of article by Tm806891 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC) (Bioethics Research Associate, Novel Tech Ethics, Dalhousie University)". Please advise me if there is somewhere else I still need to make this clear. Tm806891 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Francoise Baylis, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. FuriouslySerene (talk) 00:04, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Point well taken. Thank you. Tm806891 (talk) 14:44, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tm806891. Just to clarify, do you have any external relationship or other conflict of interest in regards to Baylis? If you don't, and are just an admirer of his work, then you don't need to disclose your position. I would suggest you can perhaps try to write in a bit more of a neutral tone, as the information you added sounded a bit biased. Don't feel bad, you are a new editor, and it takes a little bit of time to learn the rules. Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll try to help.

License tagging for File:Françoise Baylis-May 2016.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Françoise Baylis-May 2016.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:31, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Françoise Baylis-May 2016 (Photo credit, Graham Kennedy).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Françoise Baylis-May 2016 (Photo credit, Graham Kennedy).jpg, which you've attributed to Graham Kennedy. 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 on 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) 19:38, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
