Conflict of interest and paid editing

Hello, JaclynJonesAtUAH. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
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 WP:PAID. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 13:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

=======================================

Hello ElKevbo My apologies for not following the Wikimedia Foundation’s rules or taxonomy. This is my first time editing on Wikipedia. I do work for UAH and was not trying to hide that fact as you can tell by my username. As you can see by the edits I made I was only trying to improve the layout of the page in an effort to make it more useable, and provide the most up-to-date information. I see now that the best way to have changes made to a page is by requesting edits, but I don’t know how to go about doing that. Can you point me to the policy or instructions on how to go about doing that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaclynJonesAtUAH (talk • contribs) 10:40, September 10, 2019 (UTC)

No worries! It's a large, complex project with a very diverse community so it can be very overwhelming and confusing even for veteran editors.

This is a good place to look for advice about addressing a potential conflict-of-interest, especially the helpfully-labeled "Advice" section. ElKevbo (talk) 15:15, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Files

Thanks for uploading File:UAH campus with letters spelled out on the ground.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Also affected

I notice that some of the file descriptions contain the phrase "The image was created and published by the same author who also holds the rights to the original object", or similar. If you are the copyright holder then you might be interested in reading: Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Be aware, however, that releasing material under a free license allows re-use and amendment by anyone, for any purpose, even commercial, and for this reason many organisations are unwilling to make such a release since they would then have no legal recourse against usage of which they do not approve.

Also you should be aware that even release under a free license would not guarantee inclusion of images in any wikipedia article, since that would remain a matter of editorial discretion, based on our image use policy and editorial consensus regarding each particular image/article. Thank you. -- Begoon 10:09, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Begoon, thank you for pointing out the issues with the images. I have removed the images from the article. However, I am seem to be unable to delete the image files. Is this something you can help me with? Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaclynJonesAtUAH (talk • contribs) 19:30, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. You don't need to worry about deletion, as they are tagged for deletion they will be automatically deleted in a couple of days. You may receive some automatic bot messages now that you have removed them, like the one below, about them being "orphans" not included in articles. You can just ignore/remove those messages. -- Begoon 21:57, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:UAH campus with letters spelled out on the ground.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:UAH campus with letters spelled out on the ground.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 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) 17:44, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
