File permission problem with File:Tsalta Baptiste.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tsalta Baptiste.jpg, which you've attributed to Tsalta Baptiste. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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. 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:07, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

This message also applies to File:Tsalta Baptiste 2.jpg. — Diannaa (talk) 12:12, 2 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Will it be alright if I send screenshots of my conversation with the owner regarding the images to the email you've listed above? Permission was given via Upwork and not by email. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 12:50, 2 June 2016 (UTC)


 * What we need to do is have a permission email from the copyright holder on file in our OTRS system. There's instructions at WP:donating copyrighted materials and a sample permission email at WP:consent. I am pretty sure a screen shot will not be adequate, but I'm not an OTRS team member, so you might like to pose your question at the OTRS noticeboard. — Diannaa (talk) 12:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello Davykamanzi. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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. 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, and if it does not, 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, 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:. 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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. jcc (tea and biscuits) 15:35, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I am very much aware of Wikipedia's guidelines/policies on paid editing and I've been providing disclosure for every edit/article I've been paid for. Davykamanzi → talk • <b style="color:#ED2;">contribs</b> • <b style="color:#264;">alter ego</b> 15:43, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Please read Conflict_of_interest. The guideline states "on your user page, please disclose that you are a paid editor, and list each article on which you have worked or intend to work for pay (even if you confine yourself to the talk page), naming the employer and client for each article. Please do this in a clearly visible way." Whilst I see that you have done so on the talk page, I cannot see any evidence of you having done so on your user page. jcc (tea and biscuits) 15:50, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. I didn't use the paid template as I wanted to embed the disclosure into the header of my talk page, but it's done anyway. Davykamanzi → <b style="color:#0AE;">talk</b> • <b style="color:#ED2;">contribs</b> • <b style="color:#264;">alter ego</b> 16:26, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, it's refreshingly nice to see paid editors willing to be open about it. jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:28, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah. We're not all monsters looking to exploit Wikipedia for free promotion. I'm only doing it to save up for something outside Wikipedia and I can't be arsed to work a dead-end 9-5 job, but I keep things as neutral as possible to try and preserve as much of my integrity as a Wikipedia editor as I can while doing it.

 * But that lists none of the required elements of disclosure, namely the articles you edited or intend to edit for pay, or employer/client/affiliation. I'm going to infer you are working on DataCore Software for pay and list you as a party at the WP:COIN thread. - Brianhe (talk) 21:33, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I hadn't been asked to provide a list of articles I've edited for pay, neither by you nor, but to prevent a needless dispute I'll go ahead and include one in the disclosure at the top of this talk page. Davykamanzi → <b style="color:#0AE;">talk</b> • <b style="color:#ED2;">contribs</b> • <b style="color:#264;">alter ego</b> 21:41, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, you have. Read what jcc posted to your talkpage above: "Please read Conflict of interest. The guideline states 'on your user page, please disclose that you are a paid editor, and list each article on which you have worked or intend to work for pay (even if you confine yourself to the talk page), naming the employer and client for each article. Please do this in a clearly visible way.'" - Brianhe (talk) 21:47, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Well yes, I did ask- my comment above at 15:50, 23 August 2016 says "list each article on which you have worked or intend to work for pay". jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:48, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Fair use rationale template
Hi Davykamazni, I've deprecated Article2 from Non-free use rationale audio sample and Non-free use rationale. Please read WP:FUR: A separate, specific rationale must be provided each time the image is used in an article. The name of the article the image is used in must be included in the rationale. There are processes in place needed to determine the validity of each usage, and letting a new parameter handle this likely violates that. Furthermore, "Article2" does not check for link validity nor does it categorize it, nor was it documented. (I've updated File:Troy Ave - Badass sample.ogg accordingly.)

Fred Warmsley
Davykamanzi, you have edited the article Fred Warmsley numerous times spanning over several weeks. You've recently disclosed that Fred Warmsley has paid you to edit the article Successor (Dedekind Cut album). Can you confirm that Fred Warmsley, the artist, has not engaged you to edit the article Fred Warmsley? If so, the same COINRESPONSE is required on all pages involved and it would be good to have a statement from you about the timeline of all this as you also edited Successor (Dedekind Cut album) before disclosing you were paid to do so. Thanks, Mkdw talk 19:51, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Going forward, now that you have been professionally engaged by Fred Warmsley, I would request that you use Connected contributor on any article talk pages that you edit that are associated with Fred Warmsley and their work. Even though you are not engaged directly for the other articles, you do have a conflict of interest in that topic area. Mkdw talk 21:38, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
