File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Sunnylab logo.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Sunnylab logo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 15:17, 9 May 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 15:17, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Sunnylab reg logo CMYK.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sunnylab reg logo CMYK.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:33, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Sunnylab logo.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Sunnylab logo.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 determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Musamies (talk) 18:35, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Ugandan shilling does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Hi - I think you accidentally messed up my edits while adding a title to your ref (for which thanks!) DBaK (talk) 09:43, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iain. Many thanks for that, and you're welcome. Now, I am not up for a fight over this but I think you may have a problem with the display of the trade name: broadly speaking, what the encyclopaedia wants trumps what the company wants - we are not here to be a vehicle for their desires, and if you feel that you are then you might be adjudged to have a potential conflict of interest (CoI) and perhaps not be the best person to make these decisions. (That said, there is no ban on an editor with a potential CoI editing on their topic and indeed they are often the most knowledgeable person, so proceeding cautiously is often fine!)

MOS:TM is pretty clear on trademark and similar symbols and basically says we don't want or need them in most circumstances. If we did, then Wikipedia would I think be very much fuller of that stuff than it is. Similarly, the company does not dictate whether we say Spark or SPARK in the article: Wikipedia editorial consensus does. Having said all that, though, I am, as noted, not up for a fight about this and I intend probably to leave it alone - it's a small article and I prefer a quiet life.

Others may differ, so I really don't know what will happen next but if it does get difficult I would respectfully advise you to read up on policy a bit, maybe starting with the two links I give above and - this is important - be prepared to take it the the article's Talk page and try to build a consensus there in favour of the position you want to take. Repeated reverts without discussion might be seen as aggressive and we do see a tragic number of editors from companies get off on the wrong foot along those lines (oops, mixed metaphor, sorry).

I must say, as it has nothing to do with the mark issue, that I am unable to understand why you have twice replaced the usage "a number of banknotes" which does seem to me to be very vague and adds nothing to the article. But, like I said, I am not going to fight with you over this article so I shall simply wish you happy editing and all the best in your endeavours. Cheers DBaK (talk) 10:54, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that - it's not an area in which I am experienced but I think the best advice I could give you is to try the edits you want to make and see what happens! As long as you are open to discussion then most (not all!) editors here will adopt a reasonable tone in response. If someone who really knows policy comes along then you will probably get a good discussion out of it on what is and isn't OK. Most people will greatly appreciate your making the effort to get along. Cheers! DBaK (talk) 11:35, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iain and thanks for your last note. I am sure it will be fine. And the mere fact that you're talking about it, and are obviously sensible and willing to negotiate, places you head and shoulders above the many single-issue CoI editors we see turning up here to "put things right" ... I don't see that you've got a problem here now, but even if you did your approach will make people much more inclined to respond in like manner. Happy editing!

Welcome!

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

I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
The five pillars of Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

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, 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!

Your submission at Articles for creation: SICPA Holdings SA (October 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:SICPA Holdings SA and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
