User talk:Tammyethorson34

Welcome!

Hello, Tammyethorson34, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Vijay Govindarajan, 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.

Hi, I am an Academic Coordinator at Tuck School of Business and I work with VG and he asked me to add pronunciation to his page. I keep trying to do this and it is reverted to the original. Is there something you need from me in order to allow this change? Tammyethorson34 (talk) 14:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Based on your statement here, you have what Wikipedia considers a conflict of interest which should be disclosed on your user page. You can just write the same statement you've used here to explain your connection with the subject you are editing, but please include a link to the Vijay Govindarajan article.

Once you've made the disclosure, you should use the {{edit request}} template on the talk page of VG's article to explain the changes you want made. An independent editor will then make the changes, assuming they are in accordance with Wikipedia policy, such as WP:Manual of Style/Pronunciation. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:54, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is not much point in posting an edit request on an article talk page and then going ahead and making the edit yourself. That does not somehow make the edit comply with the conflict of interest guideline if it otherwise wouldn't have done so.
If you wish to add pronunciation information to an article, please do it in accordance with the manual of style page on the topic, as you have already been told to do.
Repeatedly editing the same content, or substantially the same content, into an article in the face of repeated reverts by other editors, known as "edit-warring", is considered disruptive. Presumably people who do that hope that if they persist long enough other editors will give up and leave it, so that the most stubborn editor will always get his or her way. That would not be a helpful way of resolving disputes, and so we have a policy on edit-warring. You can read that policy for yourself if you like, but the essential point is that editors who continue to edit-war after being informed of the policy are likely to be blocked from editing, to prevent continuing disruption. Likewise editors who persistently edit contrary to any other policies or guidelines may be blocked from editing. JBW (talk) 21:38, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted image

In this edit, you added an image to Richard D'Aveni's biography that was taken from his faculty profile at Tuck School of Business. You claim that the picture is "open for use and is not copyright protected", but the profile page has a copyright claim for Tuck. There is no disclaimer on the page indicating that the image is not included in the copyright claim. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Professor Richard D'Aveni Teaching.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Professor Richard D'Aveni Teaching.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/faculty/faculty-directory/richard-a-daveni. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
