A client has hired me to make minor changes to the FEARnet page. Most have to do with the capitalization of the FEARnet name. I have made the text changes, but I cannot figure out: a) How (or whether it's even possible) to change the capitalization of the page title, and b) How to replace the current logo with one that does not contain the URL. The uploading rules and procedures seem very complex. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks! Alexwillis (talk) 17:27, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My first remarks here are not a solution to your problem, but need to be made. I would advise reading WP:COI - about editing subjects you have a close connection with. You seem to have managed to keep within the bounds of WP:NPOV (neutral point of view) so far, but it's worth reading, as is WP:SPAM. Now for your question: The capitalisation of the title should stay as is per WP:MOSTM, but a redirect from FEARnet can easily be created (in case anyone searches with that capitalisation). Just start a new page with the FEARnet spelling, and put #REDIRECT [[Fearnet]] (just like that, and nothing else at all) on it, then save. As to the logo, I'll leave that to another but will point out that even if you are hired by FEARnet (who else would pay to have changes made?), the rules of copyright apply. Please see WP:COPYVIO about copyright matters. Peridon (talk) 18:42, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) It seems you may have a Conflict of Interest. Please be sure to read the following subsections of WP:COI :

Although renaming an article requires moving it, a redirect from FEARnet already exists so that shouldn't be a problem. You can upload files either to Wikimedia Commons (recommended if it's a free file) or directly to Wikipedia (see Help:Files). benzband (talk) 18:50, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for those suggestions. While I did look at those articles, I have now taken a closer look. As far as I can tell, all the changes that the client requested are neutral and factual in nature, but in order to avoid any perceived COI issues, should I just make suggestions as to the changes on the Talk page of the fearnet page? I'm guessing that the answer to this is yes, because since I posted this request, another editor has rolled back some of the changes I made to the page. Also, I understand the copyright issues of the logo, and the client (who is the social media agent for fearnet) has assured me that they will get me any documentation needed on the licensing for the logo. However, I'm still having difficulty navigating the intricacies of getting the image uploaded. It can't go to Commons because it's copyrighted--but to upload it to Wikipedia directly, can they pull it from the fearnet.com page, or does it need to be on a URL on its own....any specifics would be very helpful. Alexwillis (talk) 19:25, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For your edits to the article see my reply at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page/questions#Page title capitalization and uploading image. For the logo, it has to be uploaded to Wikipedia in order to use it here, I can pull it from the client's website and upload it here if you give me a URL for an isolated logo there. —teb728 t c 19:43, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Social Gaming Network, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Book of Life. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:45, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When Minor Edits Aren't; and Write an Edit Summary

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Woven Digital, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Worldbruce (talk) 05:06, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Alexwillis. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article UPROXX, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. and Woven Digital. Undisclosed paid editing is against the Terms of Use. For more details see WP:COI. Widefox; talk 13:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.
