I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 02:52, 8 November 2020 (UTC)Just a word to the wise. Please note my edit summary here, which states that his name should be given as Cook not Eli (after one initial mention of the first name). This is covered in WP:MOS, which you may benefit from reading (preferably in chunks at a time). Also, please plan your edits a little better. Most are less than 10 bytes in size, which should be combined with other alterations to make a more significant edit. I know you are new here, but you may as well as learn a few of the basics early on. Thanks,

[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:All Night Thing EP cover.png. 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) 18:26, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Outshined86. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Eli Cook (musician), gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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, broadly construed, 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:Outshined86. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Outshined86|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. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:17, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
The file File:Eli Cook website link.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused text only file. No obvious need and use for this.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
