User talk:EricITOworld

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group or company.

There are two issues with this:

You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
Your account cannot represent a group of people, as your username suggests. There must be a single person responsible for the edits made under a single account. To resolve this problem, you should change your username to one that represents you individually.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

I am editing on behalf of a company, but the edits will remain neutral. The aim is to ensure information is balanced and available rather than being a collection of subjective views. Furthermore I do not see myself editing articles about the company I work for.

The account is a single person, me - Eric.

Template:Infobox Future Infrastructure Project

Hi. I see you've been adding the above template to a few articles. I don't think that this is useful in, say, an article about a settlement. The developments of a B road in Stowmarket are not that significant in the grand scheme of things. Usage in an article about the Future Infrastructure Project, e.g. Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, does seem to be fully appropriate. Dancarney (talk) 14:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eric. Beats me too. All I can suggest is that you put a {{helpme}} on your talk page and wait for an admin to show up. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:24, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I see that nobody has welcomed you so let me do the honours!

.svg images not working properly

I have been creating .svg map images of transport projects and placing them on Wikipedia.

However, when the .svg image uses a .png background (to create a smaller file) (it points to an uploaded .png, not a .png on my hard drive), it does not work properly in Wikipedia.

example:

Direct link to an image I uploaded to the commons - works.

Link to the above images page - does not show image but link to it works.

Trying to place the image on a wiki page: does not work, but can follow links to reach it.

Does anyone know what can be done to fix this, or what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

I'm not an expert on this and, given how long you've been waiting for a response, it seems to have stumped many of our helpers. Instinct tells me that having one image be dependent on another seems a bad idea - not only does it look like the MediaWiki software cannot handle it properly, but it would mean people wanting to reuse your image would have to jump through hoops to make sure they have the dependent file.

I would recommend keeping all image files self-contained, so you may have to export your SVG to a PNG file and upload that. Given that the SVG is dependent on a PNG file, the primary benefit of the SVG format -that is, scalability - has been lost anyway.

I hope that is satisfactory, but if not you may find more knowledgeable responses at the Village Pump, so consider reposting your question there. AJ Cham 12:41, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the image to reflect this, thanks for the new information - I'm reliant on only the information I can find online and free from copyright to build my maps from

Articles for deletion nomination of Cambridgeshire TIF bid

I have nominated Cambridgeshire TIF bid, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cambridgeshire TIF bid. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Dancarney (talk) 09:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
