Hi. From looking around on the Internet, it seems to me probable that you have a conflict of interest with regard to this article you created, since you apparently work for a commercial real estate company with considerable assests in the neighborhood, including some of the buildings mentioned in the article. I have edited the article for formatting etc., and later on tonight on will be editing it with an eye to reducing its clearly promotional tone. In the meantime, I suggest you take a look at WP:COI, which discusses Wikipedia's policies regarding editing with a conflict of interest. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After further research, I'll upgrade "probable" to "definite", since you appear to be the "Communications Manager" of the firm in question. In the future, please follow our policies regarding editing with a conflict of interest, which include making suggestions on the article's talk page instead of editing it directly, and I suggest you refrain from creating any other new articles which lie within the commercial interests of your company. Any such activity is liable to lead to restrictions on your editing on Wikipedia. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:42, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for the misunderstanding. I attempted to have the article objectively written about the neighborhood to bring together information from a number of reliable media and well-respected published sources, and to provide a similarly formatted, objective entry for this neighborhood as there are for so many other NYC areas appearing on this site. It was not my intention to specifically promote our company’s interests. I look forward to your further edits and thank you for your advice. This is my first Wikipedia entry, and I was unaware of the conflict policies. Richard Falk

OK, I'm glad to hear that, and now that you know, everything should be peachy. You're still welcome to edit elsewhere in the encyclopedia (as I see you've done a little), and even to participate on articles which impinge on your company's interests as long as you do so via talk-page suggestions rather than direct editing.

Oh, and you may not know that you should "sign" your talk page comments by using 4 tildes (~~~~), which will automatically add your name and a timestamp. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note on my talk page, or add the {{helpme}} template to this page and someone will come by.

File copyright problem with File:NoMaDHotel.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:NoMaDHotel.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright 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 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.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:04, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You need to put a license on this image. Hit "Edit" and look for the "License" box (it's a bit easy to miss) and use the drop down menu there to indicate the license under which you are releasing the image, presumably CC-BY-SA. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:13, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
