I hope you stick around and keep contributing to Wikipedia. Drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log.

If you have a close connection to 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 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,
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
and you must always:
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, attribution, and autobiography.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you. Jehochman (^Talk/_Contrib) 03:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club Crest.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club Crest.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)^(Talk) 11:30, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

March 2013

Hello, I'm Stephenb. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Stephenb (Talk) 22:37, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Forest School, Walthamstow

Hi there - I appreciate the work you are doing on this school article, but may I suggest you tone it down a bit? Adjectives like "amazing" are likely to get deleted. See WP:NPOV. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 19:31, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club

Hi Tony! Regarding the ownership of the text you added to Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club, because that text was previously published somewhere else, there are some steps we need to take to confirm that you are the copyright holder of that material (i.e. that copyright did not assign to the Club upon publishing, etc), and that you wish to release that text under our free license (which allows anyone anywhere to use, edit, change, modify, sell, etc that text). Unfortunately until that can be determined, we have to remove that content. This is done to protect the copyright holder (you) from someone randomly claiming they own it and thus using rights they don't have. Please see WP:DCM for all the info about that, and the steps to take to confirm the ownership and release. Thanks, and feel free to ask me anything! Crow^Caw 22:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Old Foresters 1885 (2).JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Old Foresters 1885 (2).JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 12:45, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
