File:“The Story of Josef Schulz”, Scenes from the Second World War (2011).jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Thanks for uploading File:"Summer of Love", Collage and acrylic on board. (2006).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) 17:22, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Vebjørn Sand in his Tribeca studio.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Vebjørn Sand in his Tribeca studio.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. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:23, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image use in Vebjørn Sand

Hi Taylorengstrom91. You've uploaded quite a number of non-free images for use in the article Vebjørn Sand. Non-free content use on Wikipedia can be quite tricky because Wikipedia's non-free content use policy tends to be quite restrictive in how such files may be used. While this policy generally allows non-free content to be used to support article content, the emphasis tends to be placed minimal and exceptional cases where there are really no other alternatives to using such files; this includes using text instead or images in cases where actually seeing the image is not really essential to the reader's understanding of the relevant article content. Anyway, there's a discussion about the images used in that article taking place at WT:NFCC#Vebjørn Sand; so, perhaps you could clarify a few things about the images. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:22, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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) 17:33, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Editing with a possible paid conflict of interest

Hello Taylorengstrom91. The nature of your edits 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Taylorengstrom91. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Taylorengstrom91|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. --SamHolt6 (talk) 17:34, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. MER-C 10:25, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let's say you weren't paid. We don't want marketers writing ghostwritten vanity pages for our encyclopedia anyway. MER-C 10:28, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Misunderstanding/new user mistakes Taylorengstrom91 (talk) 16:04, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikipedia admins - I am writing to you today to formally request my user be unblocked. I am a newer user to Wikipedia (have been active <1 year) and have made mistakes that administrators could judge as Wikipedia abuse or breaking guidelines. For example, I marked images as non-free/fair use when they were in fact free/compliant with Wikipedia/Wikimedia guidelines, and I've cited/referenced source material that has since expired or links have broken since the time I first researched them.

A number of these alerts were made on my talk page, and all of them have been rectified or addressed, with several of them receiving responses from me personally. My goal with Wikipedia is to edit articles I find lack greater detail, as well as to fill in some blind spots in regards to the underserved in the art community. That said, I've made several missteps along the way that I think I've learned from every time.

I totally understand how an admin can view my page and see the string of mistakes and place a block on me or request I stop doing a certain thing. As you'll see with my talk page, several of these users I've replied to and made my case, while with the last admin user I was unable to because they blocked me indefinitely. I understand that specific user is a volunteer and is doing their best to support Wikipedia and enforce rules, but taking a deeper look at an account and their edits as well as conversing with me over talk pages takes time so I can see why they chose to block me instead, although I believe it was a misunderstanding.

Ultimately I believe there was a misunderstanding with my user and my contributions and as such, I am requesting to have my full editing capabilities restored. Please let me know if there's anything further required from me in this unblock request. Thank you for your attention.

False COI/PAID accusations Taylorengstrom91 (talk) 16:38, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikipedia admins - I am writing to you to formally request my user be unblocked. I have been accused to be in violation of WP:COI and WP:UPE. More specifically, the blocking admin marked me as "spam / advertising-only account, covert advertising, dishonesty regarding their COI". These are both false claims, as I have no connection with the organizations or individuals I have made contributions about. I receive no financial or otherwise benefit from editing/making these contributions as I am an art/culture fan/advocate and am not a direct beneficiary. I am a newer user on Wikipedia and any behaviors or edits that may have "given the impression" of COI or PAID are mistakes I've made or accidents that have happened and I do apologize.

If you look further at my edits, all material/content is neutral, with rock-solid primary and third party sources. I am not advertising or spamming in any way, and all my edits would stand up to scrutiny. I am not promoting a company or organization for any direct financial or otherwise benefits, so I dispute the COI/PAID charges outright and wish to have my user restored. If there are any specific violations in the nature or content of my edits, please point them out to me (this has not been done) so I can reply because I assure they are within compliance.

Thank you for your attention.

Decline reason:

You say here that you have no connection with the organizations you have made contributions about. Yet all those images were tagged as "Used with permission from Galleri Sand in New York, NY". You have some explaining to do. The blatantly promotional tone of your contributions of course doesn't help. Huon (talk) 00:35, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

False WP:COI and WP:UPE accusations Taylorengstrom91 (talk) 20:13, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikipedia admins, I am writing you today to refute my indefinite block status and request an unblock under the terms of {{unblock}}

In the latest unblock request, the reviewing admin pointed out that all the images I used for my edits were marked as "Used with permission from Galleri Sand in New York, NY". This is true, but the way I obtained said permission is completely compliant. The email addresses for those who are in charge of Galleri Sand and its artists are available publicly on their Facebook page --> https://www.facebook.com/gallerysand/. I simply reached out to the person in charge and asked for permission to use certain images (like the one of Vebjorn painting in the arctic). Thus my contributions are within Wikipedia's terms of use.

The reviewing admin also mentioned my edits' "blatantly promotional tone". For this I'm sure any promotional language was inadvertent. All my contributions have citations from 3rd party sources that are publicly available. I mention milestones and accomplishments, but never in an attempt to promote artists' or their work, simply to document their contributions to greater art culture. That said, one of the first things I will do once my status is restored is to double-check all my edits to make sure the tone is more even.

Also, as stated in previous unblock requests:

while I have been accused to be in violation of WP:COI and WP:UPE, neither of those are true. Specifically, the blocking admin marked me as "spam / advertising-only account, covert advertising, dishonesty regarding their COI". These are both false claims, as I have no connection with the organizations or individuals I have made edits about. I am an art/culture fan/advocate and am not a direct beneficiary. I am a newer user on Wikipedia and any behaviors or edits that may have "given the impression" of COI or PAID are mistakes I've made or accidents that have happened and I do apologize.

If you look further at my edits, all material/content is neutral, with rock-solid primary and third party sources. I am not advertising or spamming in any way, and all my edits would stand up to scrutiny. I am not promoting a company or organization for any direct financial or otherwise benefits, so I dispute the COI/PAID charges outright and wish to have my user restored. If there are any specific violations in the nature or content of my edits, please point them out to me (this has not been done) so I can reply because I assure they are within compliance.

Thank you for your attention!

In this edit, you say you are "working directly with the artist Aune Sand and his gallery/employer", which makes your denials sound a bit odd. If you're working "directly with" someone, you have a COI. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:21, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi Wikipedia Admins:

I'm writing to you today to request an unblock of my user for Mistaken COI/UPE accusations. As mentioned in previous unblock requests and comments/replies, I am a newer user of Wikipedia <1 year and have made several mistakes in attempts to be compliant. To address the latest denied unblock request directly:

"In this edit, you say you are "working directly with the artist Aune Sand and his gallery/employer", which makes your denials sound a bit odd. If you're working "directly with" someone, you have a COI. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:21, 22 December 2019 (UTC)"

As I mentioned in a previous unblock request, I had requested permission from the Gallery Sand and associated artists to use their images and make their edits by reaching out to them directly at the email address found publicly on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gallerysand/ Once I had gained approval directly, I had used the images and cited them appropriately. Given my newer status as a Wikipedia user, I mistakenly used the words "working directly with the artist Aune Sand and his gallery/employer" in my reply to an admin who had flagged some images.

What I should have said that I realize now is: "I assure you that any attempt to do this (break copyright policies) was inadvertent as I have obtained permission directly from the artist Aune Sand and his gallery/employer to use these images for this Wikipedia post/edit".

Like I've said, I am a newer user and didn't previously grasp the importance of certain words when it comes to Wikipedia's terms of use. I assure you again that all I was trying to say was that I obtained permission directly in a compliant manner and to take the flag off the images I was using. I believe I have been thorough in my unblock requests and my attempts to clarify things for reviewing/blocking admins. Please let me know if there is anything further I need to do to resume my unblocked status. Thank you for your time. Taylorengstrom91 (talk) 23:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I don't think I've seen someone attempt to explain how their efforts to work with someone is actually not working with someone. If you got them to grant their permission to allow the use of images and for edits, you are working with them. Full stop. Since you don't concede that you did anything wrong, and don't tell what you will edit about instead of these COI edits, there are no grounds to lift the block, and I must decline your request. I would suggest you make the next unblock request a good one, otherwise you will lose access to this page too. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
