  • Before starting a new topic, make a line to distinguish it from older talks.
  • If you have any edit conflict with me, explain it with logic politely.
  • Sign your name after the message.

[edit]

If you are being paid to edit Wikipedia articles, you must disclose that aspect of your editing - according to the Wikimedia Terms of Use, which state:

Paid contributions without disclosure
These Terms of Use prohibit engaging in deceptive activities, including misrepresentation of affiliation, impersonation, and fraud. As part of these obligations, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
a statement on your user page,
a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.

This issue is also covered by the Wikipedia behavioral guideline WP:PAY. Shearonink (talk) 15:31, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:How Much Students Are Learning.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Reminder

[edit]

I have been doing some reading up on how paid editors are supposed to disclose their editing-for-hire on Wikipedia. Your subpage User:Usman Khalil/Paid Work is a good start but, please remember, you really need to disclose all editing work that you are doing for hire and preferable in the following ways.
As you edit, you should place the following template:

{{Connected contributor (paid)|User1=Username of the paid editor|U1-employer=Name of person/organization that is paying for the edits|U1-client= Name of client|U1-otherlinks=Insert diff to disclosure on your User page.}}

on the talk pages of articles you are being paid to edit. Please see WP:COI/Paid editors for information on using the above template and for examples of paid-editing notices.
Also, you should place Template:UserboxCOI at the top of your user page. This template can be used to list up to 9 different articles that editors have edited for pay. As you edit, remember what WP:COI has to say about your situation: "That someone has a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person's opinions or integrity." Hope this helps, Shearonink (talk) 00:43, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP: PAID

[edit]

I am trying to add everything according to the rules and guidelines of Wikipedia. Didn't know about the template you mentioned. Will use it in my next edits. One thing I would like to ask here. Do I have to apply this template on my previous paid edits too? Actually that would be quite difficult to get in contact with previous clients. UsmanKhalil_Talk 19:10, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Going forward, this appears to be the best way to handle your situation:
  1. Place the Template:UserboxCOI at the top of your user page. Fill out the information as best as you can, listing all the articles you've edited for pay.
  2. Place the "Connected contributor" template on the talk pages of articles that you have been paid to edit and, again, fill out the information as best as you can.
I will ask a more-experienced editor to look in on your situation to make sure I am giving you the best advice. In the meantime, I am sure there are many articles on Wikipedia that could do with some of your attention - and you can edit Wikipedia articles just because you want to!

Control copyright icon Hello Usman Khalil, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Frederick Achom has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:26, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:22, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Modern Wedding Dress.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Modern Wedding Dress.jpg. 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. Rambalac (talk) 16:56, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of I-Boating

[edit]

The article I-Boating has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The only independent ref has a grand total of one paragraph of coverage, that's not 'in-depth' as required.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:42, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on I-Boating requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Nature of your paid editing

[edit]

You declare you were paid by a company to add some info on Bridesmaid and did so, referencing their blog. I really do not think this is appropriate as they are not a reliable source of info and would be considered a source worthy of adding here. On other pages (e.g. Unibet Group, Erik Angra), you haven't declared your commercial relationship on the respective talk pages despite posting it on the rather more hidden page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Usman_Khalil/Paid_Work And how enthusiastically do you update that list? for example did you get paid for the i-Boating article? And if so, why is it missing from your list? I appreciate you are taking some steps but feel this is considerably short of full transparency other editors would expect when working on such a contentious issue. Rayman60 (talk) 01:10, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did feel in light of the nature, diversity & frequency of the issues that it required further comment. As such I have presented it to the COI board. You are able to present rebuttals and engage in the discussion there - it concerns some of the issues raised above which I feel are beyond my sphere of activity, so will be considered by those better placed to comment. ==Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion==

In this edit[1]
You added "College sweethearts, Heather and Aaron fell in love after building a solid foundation of friendship during their initial courtship. They both come from loving families and have parents who they look to for inspiration for their own marriage. They share the same sense of humor and Christian beliefs, making for a strong relationship. Lately, after two years of marriage the couple has been struggling with a lack of communication and differences over responsibility and priorities."

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Laureate Group of Schools and Colleges, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images from either web sites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from http://laureategroupofschools.com/?page_id=64, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Laureate Group of Schools and Colleges saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Cordless Larry (talk) 19:19, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
