Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Haley Lu Richardson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arcadia High School (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

File permission problem with File:Portrait Photograph of Haley Lu Richardson.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait Photograph of Haley Lu Richardson.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

[edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Forrest L. Richardson

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Forrest L. Richardson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Vvaliquette. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Forrest L. Richardson, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. This notice also applies to Haley Lu Richardson. Wracking talk! 23:38, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing of the pages you cite do not violate Wiki's conflict of interest guideline. Neither of the subjects of the two pages you reference have any financial relationship to this editor. All edits performed by this editor pertain to factual references. The recent update to HALEY LU RICHARDSON's image was because the image you deleted had been specifically approved by her, subject to her control of her likeness. The current image is NOT approved by her and use on the Wiki platform is likely a violation of her rights to likeness. I ask that you kindle reinstate the previous image edited by you as the replacement image had been inserted to replace an outdated image. Thank you. Vvaliquette (talk) 00:04, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A conflict of interest does not have to be financial. Your edit history almost entirely comprises edits of Haley Lu Richardson and Forrest L. Richardson. You write as if you have personally communicated with Haley Lu Richardson, which indicates a possible conflict of interest. A conflict of interest, even if it is not financial, should be disclosed. Even if you believe your edits were factual, they have been disputed by other editors and are therefore controversial (see WP:COIADVICE).
I am not especially opinionated about the photo; as stated in my edit summary, I reverted the edit because it altered the infobox. As for your thoughts about approvals and likeness rights, it is unlikely the page as it currently stands violates the subject's right to likeness (see WP:BLPIMAGE); while newer images are generally favored on biographies of living people, some may argue that the older image is more appropriate per MOS:LEADIMAGE and MOS:IMAGEQUALITY. If you have further thoughts about the photo on that page, discuss at Talk:Haley Lu Richardson.
Additionally, please be advised that it is against Wikipedia policy to operate multiple accounts or log out to make edits. If you operate User:Wikiuservv23, you should stop using that account. Additionally, you should try to remain logged-in while editing. Wracking talk! 02:47, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Edits for the pages you have questioned have been performed for the sake of accuracy. Any good editor will not only research facts, but if available, seek information from the subject or entity if that is possible. This is the case with both HALEY LU RICHARDSON and FORREST L. RICHARDSON. I am an avid golf industry participant and know many people in golf media and golf course architecture. Ms. Richardson has reached out via her agents, and I have done my best to add facts, corrections and additions. If you take exception with any of the facts or edits on either of these pages, please bring them to my attention -- or, better yet, please edit (correct) them. I do not think it is at all nice of you to threaten or take action to remove the pages or make accusations, especially when the entries are factual. Again, if there is something not cited properly or you feel it is inaccurate, please CORRECT it rather than attempt to CANCEL it. CANCELING information about public figures is not in anyone's best interest. Regarding "conflicts of interest", I believe the end goal of Wikipedia is to put forth accurate information, which I do not believe has been compromised here at all. Both subject pages feature well-known individuals (Ms. Richardson is followed by millions and is a known celebrity...Mr. Richardson has written five books on golf design and has created many facilities used by people across the world; his completed golf courses result in more than 1 million rounds of golf annually, which equates to roughly 5 million annual hours of outdoor recreation; his entry is not only factual, but represents the essence of Wikipedia's reason to exist...which is to provide background and context on people, places and 'things' that affect people and their lives). Conflicts are not black and white, and AVOIDANCE of conflicts does not mean that they do not occur, nor that they are necessarily contrary to Wikipedia guidelines. What I can attest to is that the entries are factual and that every effort to AVOID conflicts has been adhered to. Hence, the third party relationships between these subjects and me. Again, I will re-state that Ms. Richardson has indicated that the photo you seem preoccupied to use is both outdated, not approved by her (likeness) and that the previous photo inserted (by edit) had been purposefully arranged by her, and is under her ownership for use in spaces such as Wikipedia. You would do everyone -- including the general public who relies on Wikipedia -- a great favor, if you would un-do your edit and re-instate the photo owned by Ms. Richardson, which was added by me previously and more accurately represents her likeness, besides being specifically owned and approved by her and her agents. I hope you might consider these simple requests. Again, I do not understand the motive to CANCEL factual information based on your "theory" that a CONFLICT is necessarily at work here, and/or that, if such a conflict exists, it is done with any malice or intent to deceive or unfairly bring a page or subject forth for the purposes of Wikipedia's prime mission. Thank you for the consideration. Vvaliquette (talk) 15:42, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned prior, I recommend you take up any specific content issues at the articles' respective talk pages. Wracking talk! 20:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The only content issue is your substitution of an older photo, which does not represent the subject, nor is a an approved photo. Vvaliquette (talk) 22:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
