File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Matthew009.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 10:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Pandypandy. 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 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. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:09, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Cordless Larry. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Matthew Parish seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:06, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cordless Larry. Thank you for your explanation of why you removed some edits to Matthew Parish. I appreciate your setting out your reasons. But can you explain why you think the edits are less than neutral? I am not an expert in Wikipedia, but I did read the biography of living persons policy which explicitly states that great care must be taken with contested records of criminal offences. In particular, where there is more than one judgment of a court, going in different directions (as there are in the Matthew Parish case), it is essential to discuss both of them. In this case, the court proceedings had lots of problems. I realise I am probably anonymous to you, or at least that my name means nothing; I am a quiet person. But I am one of the world's legal experts in Kuwaiti politics (outside Kuwait) and I think my edits ought to be taken at face value unless another person with knowledge of Kuwaiti politics comes along and says that they are wrong. I spent great effort trying to make the introductory paragraph neutral, because in its current form it gives the impression that Matthew Parish is in prison which is not true. In fact that court judgment is not being executed at all. Now I don't expect you to know all of these details; but I did cite good quality secondary and primary sources (legal documents) for all the things I said. I made every effort for these amendments to be neutral and to represent the balance of the matter in good faith. There I would be grateful if you could reverse your "undo" actions. Surely that is better than my doing it and then you re-doing it and then we on forever! The issues are serious because we are dealing with serious and contested defamation (and actually it's false. and misleading) in the second sentence of the first paragraph of a living person's biography.

Because I'm not an expert in Wikipedia coding, could you please acknowledge that you've read this and therefore I know I've got it right how to write to you.pandypandyPandypandy (talk) 15:43, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
