Replaceable fair use File:"Gabriel Stricker, September 2010".jpg
Thanks for uploading File:"Gabriel Stricker, September 2010".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:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) 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. January ( talk ) 07:58, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:"Gabriel Stricker, September 2010".jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:"Gabriel Stricker, September 2010".jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 13:58, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hi there! Thanks very much for your contributions. I had a question, if you don't mind. I notice that your contributions are almost exclusively concentrated to concern a few people: Gabriel Stricker in particular, and also Katie Jacobs Stanton, Shailesh Rao, Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone. I notice that some of your contributions to Stricker were removed as promotional. All of these persons, basically all of your contributions, have concerned these Twitter executives. Are you by any chance employed by Twitter or otherwise associated with these persons or that company? If so, you may want to be cognizant of the provisions of WP:COI. Thanks in advance.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, AmandaYChen. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Gabriel Stricker, 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 Conflict of interest);
 * 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 22:34, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Gabriel Stricker
Hi AmandaYChen,

Thank you for your comments on Talk:Gabriel Stricker. Please state your relationship to Gabriel Stricker. You said that you're not a twitter employee but you have not established that you do not have a COI. What is your exact relationship? Also, were you a Twitter employeee at any time that you edited Wikipedia articles on Twitter employees?

Please familiarize yourself with WP:NBIO so that you can understand why this person inclusion in Wikipedia is not clear. The fact that he was represented by a famous lawyer, wrote a book, or served on some boards does not automatically lead to notibility. Ew3234 (talk) 00:55, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ew3234, I am a former contributor to The Bay Citizen, and I started researching Mr. Stricker after TBC merged with CIR, and I thought it was important to understand the leadership behind the board of directors. I have never been an employee of Twitter. The edits that you and others have proposed are very helpful, and I have improved sourcing wherever possible. When I familiarize myself with WP:NBIO, it does seem that he meets the basic criteria: receiving significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If others believe that the coverage I view as substantial is not substantial, it seems that the other criteria of multiple independent sources combined to demonstrate notability would also prove notability. I appreciate how thorough the community has been to attempt to define these terms, and I thank you for taking so much time to educate me about the process. AmandaYChen (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * AmandaYChen, you worked for a company where Gabriel Stricker was on the board of directors and edited the article on Gabriel Stricker? That's certainly a WP:EXTERNALREL and a potential COI. Having a COI doesn't mean you cannot use Wikipedia but there are certain limitation and disclosures you should be aware of. This is a good source for learning more: WP:PSCOI. Please read up on this before continuing to edit. Ew3234 (talk) 23:29, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Also, I reverted your last edit on Gabriel Stricker. Your edit removed the tags without addressing the concerns. Your Knight Foundation claim is not supported in the source; it just shows that he spoke at an event. You exchanged one primary source for another on the Alejandro Mayorkas claim; if this is notible there should be a better source. Ew3234 (talk) 23:44, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
