File permission problem with File:BPMN 2.0 example.png
Thanks for uploading File:BPMN 2.0 example.png. 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 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. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:BPMN Event Types.png


A tag has been placed on File:BPMN Event Types.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

In the future I will tag these dupe images myself. I was unaware of the protocol. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Dawnseeker2000. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Piping and instrumentation diagram, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Link on page Circuit diagram
You wrote on my talk page:

>I added an external link to circuit diagrams since there is a free tool to make them.

On the link https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/examples/circuit-diagrams, that you placed on Circuit diagram, there is only a free trial available. F.i. saving is not even possible without paying. IMHO this site pretends to be free but is not. I suggest you remove this link again. --Ajv39 (talk) 12:44, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Explaining
I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 16:22, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

WPEL
Note: This was moved from User talk:MrOllie to User talk:Bhanks. See my comments below. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

MrOllie thanks for watching out. Here is a link to a talk page where I explained what I was doing to another moderator. User_talk:TheOriginalSoni/Archive_6. ELNO doesn't apply because the tool is completely free. Thanks! Wanting to move wikipedia out of the downloaded software dark ages doesn't make me a spammer. ;)

I hope reading that thread will help. If you still feel like it violates ELNO will you be more specific about which policy (reference #) it violates? You will see that I got in some deep waters because I wasn't explaining what I was doing and why I was doing it, but everything was resolved once I explained myself. Bhanks (talk) 18:32, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Specifically it violates WP:ELNO points 4 and 13. Also, Your repetitive additions of this link on numerous articles (especially after being warned) are link spamming behavior. If you keep this up any longer, your link will be added to the black list. - MrOllie (talk) 18:34, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure helpful that threats are helpful in this situation. I think there is a difference between a disagreement about what is considered a good external resource to a page and name calling. If someone is repeatedly doing something you disagree with that doesn't make it inherently mean it is done in bad faith. Like I said before I do appreciate your position and am sure you have had it up to your eyeballs in bad actors. :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhanks (talk • contribs) 18:58, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * (4)The primary purpose is to let a visitor know that there is a free resource that they can use to make the kind of diagrams that they are reading about. Would you be opposed to it if I put up another free tool? Would that resolve this issue? (13) I disagree that this is not directly related.  Most people visiting these pages are students looking for answers to a problem. The next logical step is to build something. This isn't true for every page but anytime you have some sort of diagram a link to a tool is in order, in my opinion. Did you have a moment to read the thread I linked to you?  I mean the DFD page until recently didn't even have any images.  I want to move away from garbage wikipedia pages that don't actually help you get anything or teach you anything.  Those are just my thoughts.  Thanks!  Bhanks (talk) 18:55, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * A 14 day trial is not a 'free tool'. If you put up another free tool I might or might not object, it would depend on if you added the same link to dozens of pages, for one thing. I will say that it would be a very good idea for you to find something totally unrelated to LucidChart to edit about. I did read the thread you linked, and I really don't see how somebody telling you that they 'have no other knowledge of the policies in this case' was a green light for you to continue with your link additions. - MrOllie (talk) 18:57, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, if you are employed by LucidChart, I suggest you review our guidelines on conflict of interest. - MrOllie (talk) 19:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * (Uninvolved editor) normally, a conversation about external links placed by Bhanks belongs on Bhanks' user talk page, so I am WP:BOLDly moving this from User talk:MrOllie to User talk:Bhanks. If anyone objects to this, WP:BRD explains what to do. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of ZipBooks


A tag has been placed on ZipBooks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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.

COI editing and required disclosure
Hello, Bhanks. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
 * instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the template);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Last but not least: All contributors must not contribute content that violates conflict of interest laws (just as all contributors must respect copyright). The Unfair Commercial Practices Directive is valid throughout the European Union. In a German court decision in 2012 (that also relied on the directive) regarding Wikipedia: "The court held that when a company edits a Wikipedia article, the resulting text falsely creates the impression that the edit has no business-related purpose. By implication, the judges found that the average reader of Wikipedia articles expects to find objective and neutral information." That is a very very important condition, comparable to the FTC Guide" that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than the sponsoring advertiser”. This expectation by consumers of neutral information on Wikipedia, requires that companies not write "their" WP articles for PR/marketing purposes.

Editors who are compensated for their contributions should make the disclosure by placing the  template at the top of the talk page of affected articles and filling in the parameters. They should also supply this information as part of a list on their user page of all their paid contributions.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Kuru  (talk)  11:26, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of AccountingWEB


A tag has been placed on AccountingWEB, 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 FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Hey guys! I'm not affiliated with accountingWEB in any way. There are a couple major online accounting new sites and I noticed that Accounting Today had a page so I figured I should also create one for accountingWEB. They have been around since 2001 and are well known in the industry so I don't think section G11 applies here. Let me know what you want to do here. Bhanks (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Editing with a conflict of interest
Hello, Bhanks. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Largoplazo (talk) 20:51, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Richard II
Hi Bhanks,

Thanks for helping out on Richard II! I had to revert your changes for various reasons, and just wanted to drop you a note saying thanks and explain the reasons for reverting.


 * 1) You generally shouldn't use Britannica as a citation for information on Wikipedia. Britannica, like Wikipedia itself, is a ternary source: it summarises the secondary sources. What you want are good secondary sources, preferably ones published on a university press or in a peer-reviewed academic journal. There is no bright line rule about sources like this, but in an area like Shakespeare, where there are so many high quality sources available, other ternary sources would need a very strong reason to be used.
 * 2) The lead section of an article should summarise the rest of the article. Thus any change you make there should have been preceded by changes to the body of the article somewhere, where it's possible to go into far more detail. This is, incidentally, why lead sections generally do not need to be cited: they just summarise the article body, which should already be cited.
 * 3) The syntax to add a citation is actually, and the cite encyclopedia template just formats the ref properly for display. There are tons of citation templates, but most of them do not add the   tags, so they need to be wrapped in those in most cases (unless you're using shortened footnotes).

Anyways, I didn't want to revert your changes without explaining why. Cheers, Xover (talk) 04:56, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! Bhanks (talk) 14:12, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
