If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. PaleAqua (talk) 03:57, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to check out Wikipedia:USERFICATION if you get the chance, combined with a request for undeletion you may be able to get your autobiography restored to your user page. I was thinking that responding admin would have moved it back to your user page as I suggested in the comment when I tagged the page. Another resource you might try is adding a request at [[WP:Requested articles/Biographies]. I would suggest if you have the time however that you get yourself familiar with editing wikipedia first before trying to get an autobiography added. With your background some articles about virtual worlds and 3d would be a good place to start. Looks like the WikiProject Video games handles most of the articles in that space. I'm sort of surprised that there isn't an virtual worlds wikiproject, though maybe I missed it. WikiProjects are basically a way for a collection of editors to be able to focus on editting and improving articles of particular topics. PaleAqua (talk) 06:34, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Association of virtual worlds logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Association of virtual worlds logo.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 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. 66.57.4.150 (talk) 00:27, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Kohdspace logo.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Kohdspace logo.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 uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. 66.57.4.150 (talk) 00:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
