License tagging for Image:Heros welcome crowd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Heros welcome crowd.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Zeeraider,, those Zeebrugge 1918 additions go under External links. RegardsKeith-264 (talk) 16:51, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

File:Albert McKenzie returning from Buckingham Palace with his VC.png

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 calculation 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. RonBot (talk) 17:10, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Zeeraider. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 13:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

many thanks for the explanation

I understand the possibility of conflict of interest

but if I make it clear that I am Albert McKenzie's great nephew could I not reinstate the link to my web site, which has been on Wiki for many years and attracted a great deal of interest and feedback?

also, I wonder why my external link to James Sutherland Mitchell and Carthona House and the Tooth Brewery has been removed as there is little information on JSM on wiki and my site provides a great deal of background information

many thanks Colin McKenzie Zeeraider (talk) 15:38, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zeeraider, No, Wikipedia does not link to people's self published web sites. The links never should have been added in the first place - that it took a few years for someone to notice and remove them is not material. MrOllie (talk) 15:41, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
