Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Cynthia Wing, good luck, and have fun. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Photo upload

Saw your question on the IRC #wikipedia-en-help channel.

Photo uploads can be tricky with respect to permissions and copyright. Ideally, the copyright holder (the photographer, or, perhaps the executor of their estate, is the copyright holder, not the subject or the subject's descendents) would upload the photo to Wikipedia Commons with the right sort of release and satisfy the admins there of their right to release it. Note that the release has to be quite broad, it's not just "permission to use on Wikipedia". See c:Commons:First steps/Uploading files. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:42, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

July 2024–spamming multiple articles on behalf of Caldwell Hudson Gallery

Hello, Cynthia Wing. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:19E:4100:710:C527:1910:70F7:D1BA (talk) 02:02, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
