User talk:Anchorandwings

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Cris Gunther, 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.

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.

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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

Help me! Photo removals that I own the copyright of and want on my wiki page.

Hello- Some user by the name of Ahmad had my photos posts taken down twice now using my own website as the reason for the "violation". Identifying sources should be done so accurately by confirming if they are the same copyright holder before removing revisions/profile additions. I would like my photo additions to be reinstated please. If you don't have the authority or capability, I'd like Wikimedia to intervene on my behalf, so Ahmad and whoever else will stop unfairly flagging my photos that I own the copyrights of that I'd like to be featured on my Wiki page. Thank you, Anchorandwings

Please help me with...

You have asked your question in two other places, so this request is going to be marked as inappropriate. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:57, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Well, that wasn't very helpful. Hopefully this will be more helpful. (reply carried over from Teahouse) .

Anchorandwings, the file c:File:Cris Gunther- Hollywood Music In Media Award Winner.jpg was uploaded to, and deleted from, wikimedia commons, not to the English-language Wikipedia. An admin on commons deleted it, as a violation of copyright. (Apparently riley did the deletion.)_ You would have to raise the issue on Commons. Please understand that while you may indeed be the copyright owner of that image, we have no way to know that you are, unless you follow the procedure at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you follow that procedure, any files you upload should not be deleted because of copyright issues. All uploaded images must indicate their source, and if they have been published on a website, must include an appropriate copyright release clearly identified as being from the proper person. A post to Wikipedia will not do -- anyone can make such a post, and many do.Anchorandwings, the file c:File:Cris Gunther- Hollywood Music In Media Award Winner.jpg was uploaded to, and deleted from, wikimedia commons, not to the English-language Wikipedia.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. -- Deepfriedokra 15:06, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
