File permission problem with File:Merchant Adventurers of York at Mystery Plays 2010.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Merchant Adventurers of York at Mystery Plays 2010.jpg, which you've sourced to Andrew J Scott. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See 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.

Resolved: Conflict of interest disclosure request
Heading added, sections merged ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

May 2020
Hello Benyon4. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to York Civic Trust, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Benyon4. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:16, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Volunteers are deemed to be employees
Hi, thank you very much for the clarification. However:


 * Interns, on-loan staff, and unpaid workers, including volunteers, are deemed to be employees. If they are directed or expected to edit Wikipedia as part of their tasks, they must make a paid-contribution disclosure.
 * Regardless of such direction or expectation, you have a strong conflict of interest and should stop editing the article directly.

For the purpose of understanding the situation, please assume that all the advice for editors with a "financial conflict of interest" at WP:COI does apply to you. This means:

You have not provided a disclosure of your affiliation on your user page yet, and you are directly editing the article instead of proposing changes on its talk page. Please change this.

Thank you very much in advance, and best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:47, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited York Civic Trust, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Andrew Scott ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/York_Civic_Trust check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/York_Civic_Trust?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
