User talk:Brinded1

Welcome!
Hello, Brinded1, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Bracknell Hornets, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 02:56, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

NIHL Logos
Please clarify your relationship with the NIHL, since you are claiming to have designed the member teams' logos. —C.Fred (talk) 02:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Please can someone clarify if this is within the Wikipedia rules. I work for the Oxford member team. I didn't design any of the logos but we have the bank of logos and ability to freely post on our press/social media (as do all other teams in the league with our logo). Please advise if this requires further clarification. - Brinded1 (talk) 06:24, 2 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi it looks like you are wanting to understand the Wikipedia rules about conflicts of interest (COIs)? Essentially, if you are connected to the articles you are editing (in any way, including being paid by them), you should disclose your connection - and I can see you have done that here, just above my message. As you say you work for the Oxford member team, if you are being paid for your work on Wikipedia, please see this page on how to disclose that.


 * Furthermore, as you said you didn't design the logos you've uploaded, can I ask if you have permission from the designer to upload them here - as they have been uploaded under a licence which grants anyone and everyone permission to use them, even commercially, under certain conditions? (see the image here for more on this). If you do have permission - it would be a good idea to let us know about that - see this page on Wikimedia Commons about how to do this.


 * But essentially, you are more than welcome to help edit Wikipedia, but just make sure that if you have a link to the articles you are editing, then you disclose that connection. A simple guide to COIs on Wikipedia is available here, which I recommend you read. If you need any more help you can, or just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * Regarding the logos, the critical issue is copyright. You are claiming that they are you own work, which they are not, and that you have the ability to freely give them away, which you do not. As noted, to be placed on commons like that, they would need to have a license with allows unlimited reuse, including commercial reuse. Typically, logos are not licensed in this way. —C.Fred (talk) 20:31, 2 July 2019 (UTC)


 * To be on the safe side, I've flagged all images for deletion. Would an admin please remove these while I check through the notes above? My main focus is the Oxford logo which I will reupload with the correct tags and at a low resolution (similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Swindon_Wildcats_Logo.jpg) Brinded1 (talk) 21:39, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Cardiff Fire moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Cardiff Fire, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Oxford City Stars Logo 2019.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Oxford City Stars Logo 2019.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:39, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
