I have reverted your edit on Robert Shenkman due to your edit breaking wikipedia WikiText — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooldudeseven7 (talk • contribs) 12:12, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, why have you reverted the edits made - and if possible can you help to make them wikipedia friendly - eg the photo added Adebayorrr (talk) 12:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Adebayorrr Where did you get the photo from? —Alalch E. 13:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is my photo, provided for me by a personal photographer Adebayorrr (talk) 13:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Well, first of all, welcome to Wikipedia. I will post a particular welcome template below this section which will contain some important explanations and useful links, and I would like to continue the conversation with you in that section. —Alalch E. 13:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cooldudeseven7 please explain your edit in more detail, as I can't immediately see what Adebayorrr's edits broke. —Alalch E. 13:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am the living person on the page so can explain/cite the edits in greater detail. Apologies if I haven't used the correct wikipedia format but I hope that we can work together on this! Adebayorrr (talk) 13:22, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry, It appeared that in the diff it showed a wikitext error? If possible, I will manually revert your edit. Sorry! Cooldudeseven7 (Discuss over a cup of tea?) 14:09, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Adebayorrr, I have undone my revert. I am very sorry for the trouble! Cooldudeseven7 (Discuss over a cup of tea?) 14:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Robert Shenkman, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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, visit the Teahouse, 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. Again, welcome! —Alalch E. 14:02, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the explanation and totally understand. Apologies for the breach of wikipedia practice. Adebayorrr (talk) 14:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome, and I'm glad you understand. Please also look at Wikipedia:About you. That page has many useful answers, including the answer to your question about the photo. I will probably talk to you more about the photo. Please don't forget that your contributions are welcome. While editing the article about yourself directly is discouraged, constructive requests on the talk page certainly count as valued contributions. So please use the aforementioned {{edit COI}} template for such requests, and don't worry about making multiple, but it's best to make them in succession rather than all simultaneously, and it's important to separate out each content point (item of information) into a separate request so that editors who may not know anything about the topic can easily process each. Also, it would be good to publicly declare COI by posting the {{UserboxCOI}} on your user page. —Alalch E. 14:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have now publicly declared COI on my user page and do not anticipate making any further COI edits in the future. Thank you for the page links and templates also since I am new to wikipedia. Adebayorrr (talk) 14:31, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome.
About the photo: Please read Wikipedia:A picture of you.
Wikipedia wants a photograph of you and the photograph you uploaded is something all editors should want to keep, but the file must be properly licensed or it will be deleted. Namely, when you uploaded the photo, it was automatically stored over at Wikimedia Commons (which is not Wikipedia, and Wikipedia stores media on Wikipedia itself only exceptionally, roughly speaking), which is a repository of free-to-use media. The file is at c:File:Irtpa profile pic.jpg. When filling out the forms while uploading the file, you stated that the file is "own work" which it isn't (it's the work of your photographer) and that the file is released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license (which you specified as the license and it is one of the most open licenses), which is either not the case (it could be that the author released it to you individually for variety of "personal" uses, but they probably did not imagine allowing everyone to use it commercially), or it is (esoterically) the case but there is no evidence that it is, as we would need the author to communicate which terms they released the work under, and we haven't heard from the author yet. Don't worry about not doing this the right way, it's a very common thing from a new user.
So the image can be kept if you would kindly ask your photographer to visit this page: c:Commons:Wikimedia VRT release generator, generate the release email, and send it to the address which they will have been provided in the process, under one of the licenses that are permitted at the Commons (only free licenses). Sincerely,—Alalch E. 14:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have contacted the photographer to approve the license for the photo. I hope that in a few days the photo will be licensed for use on Wikipedia. Thank you for your help today and if the license is not granted at least I’ll know for the future how best to add photos to Wikipedia. Adebayorrr (talk) 18:36, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I have now released the photo to wikipedia but would like to alter the source of the photo within the structured data section. Thanks for your guidance on this and I hope that you are content with the copyright of the photo being released. As mentioned it is not my photo and the photographer with the copyright has authorised the release, thus I would like to alter the photo source if possible to credit 'Tim Edwards' rather than showing the photo as being self uploaded by me. How can I achieve this? It looks like it is tricky to alter the source of a photo once it has originally been uploaded. Any guidance or alterations from yourself would be much appreciated - c:File:Irtpa profile pic.jpg. I'm talking specifically about the structured data section! Thanks Adebayorrr (talk) 11:56, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wonderful. Everything is good. You are welcome. The author is thanked. I have made the changes to the structured data. It comprises properties each of which appears as a rectangle that has an edit button in the upper right corner, and each property may be refined by certain qualifiers which are made complete as statements by assigning to them a certain type of value, such as a string ("Tim Edwards"), or a certain object (such as "photographer", which I've added). That is the realm of Wikidata (yet another, third, project), and that stuff gets pulled from there. —Alalch E. 22:02, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
