File copyright problem with File:PASTA UND DESIGN3.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thank you for uploading File:PASTA UND DESIGN3.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Vladlen Manilov ✉ / 16:01, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
Pasta By Design moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Pasta By Design, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~StyyxTalk? 20:12, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation: Pasta By Design has been accepted

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider
.Thanks again, and happy editing!
Slywriter (talk) 17:11, 3 October 2022 (UTC)Non-free rationale for File:Pasta und Design CC.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Pasta und Design CC.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:12, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello DfGSDgd%. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Pasta By Design, 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:DfGSDgd%. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=DfGSDgd%|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. Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:22, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- dear Julietdeltalima, thanks for your note. I confirm that I am not directly or indirectly compensated for any of the recent contributions I make to Wikipedia. I am just an independent contributor with an interest in mathematics, art, and design. I am a new contributor, still learning the ropes. I am happy to refrain from making any more links to this new page if this is bad Wikipedia form, but I am certainly not paid or compensated to do this. Best regards DfGSDgd% (talk) 16:31, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for responding. You're fine! The concern I have with the article is that it's written like a borderline-promotional book review rather than an objective encyclopedia article. You're obviously very fond of the book (this is why a lot of long-time contributors focus on subject matter in which they have no particular interest!) and I think the article will benefit from further collaboration by other editors, so I've tagged it for copyediting. This means it will show up on a list for the "Guild of Copy Editors" and get some attention from other members of the community. This is the normal process! Thank you again for your pleasant response and contributions to the encyclopedia. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:41, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- No problem at all, this makes sense, thanks for letting me know. I look forward to all further edits and revisions. Best regards DfGSDgd% (talk) 16:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- dear Julietdeltalima, quick question: is it OK for me to have another go at rewriting/addressing the problem of the lack of 'encyclopaedic tone' flagged up in my article on PBD last week, or does it have to be done by a third party? I am now working on my fourth contribution and reading a lot of Wikipedia, so I think I understand the problem better. Let me know thanks DfGSDgd% (talk) 14:17, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, DfGSDgd%. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, clients, 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- 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. While we appreciate your contributions to the encyclopedia, I noticed while reviewing your recent article contributions that you primarily edit articles dealing with George L. Legendre. What is your connection to Legendre? Netherzone (talk) 12:31, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Netherzone, thanks for your note. I write about applied analytics mathematics and design, with an emphasis on theoretical architectural publishing from 2000-2012. I have indeed worked so far on three titles linked to Legendre, Pasta by Design, John Pickering and the architecture of the inversion principle, and IJP the book of surfaces, all of which are now out of print, and part of publishing history. I do not mean to promote anyone in particular. DfGSDgd% (talk) 12:43, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying. Netherzone (talk) 01:01, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 20
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pasta by Design, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Morphology and Cappelletti. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
