File copyright problem with File:Diabetes Care January 2012.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Diabetes Care January 2012.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:16, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Potential conflict of interest

Hello Amygavin. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Amygavin. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Amygavin|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Deli nk (talk) 16:11, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I do work for American Society for Nutrition but the edits to that page are legitimate. I will update my user page. Amygavin (talk) 16:25, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Amygavin, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Amygavin|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. For added clarity, you need to disclose your payments on your user page at User:Amygavin before making any more edits.

Please read WP:PROMOTION for information as to the sorts of edits that are permitted on Wikipedia. HLHJ (talk) 20:28, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've just seen that you added User:Amygavin/About you. I'm afraid you have to post your disclosure on your user page at User:Amygavin, and you need to be clearer about the relationship between you and your employer. I'd strongly suggest using the template {{Paid}}. HLHJ (talk) 20:59, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. HLHJ (talk) 01:44, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:John E. Courtney, PhD

Hello, Amygavin. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "John E. Courtney".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 07:24, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Diabetes-Care-January-2012.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Diabetes-Care-January-2012.gif. 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:14, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
