Welcome!

Hello, Dliccardo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Raymond Freymann, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Raymond Freymann


The article Raymond Freymann has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Mo ainm ~Talk  22:19, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:TrackTrainer.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TrackTrainer.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:06, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:TrackTrainer.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:TrackTrainer.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 00:44, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Catapult Ventures (March 5)
 Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:Afc_decline/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Draft:Catapult_Ventures Articles for creation help desk] or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the company.

This draft reads like an advertisement, but Wikipedia is not for advertising.

The references are not independent.

Does the author of this draft have any sort of financial or other connection with the subject of this draft? Please read the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy and make any required declarations.

Declare any connection
Hello Dliccardo. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Catapult Ventures, 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, 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, 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:Dliccardo. 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. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:12, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I am not a paid editor. Please remove this tag. I do have a potential COI and have discolsed that in the talk page of the proposed article.

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on WP:TEA. It doesn't help to have a negative attitude toward advice. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:04, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

I appreciate your advice. I don't appreciate the false statements based on assumptions. Notice that my responses are focused on correcting those false statements. It is very difficult to assume good faith under those circumstances. Wouldn't you agree? Thus, my recommendation to improve such an interaction is to focus on notability, a very reasonable and subjective determination (that we can agree to disagree on). There is no need for falses claims that sources are not independent to make a notability argument.

Orphaned non-free image File:CatapultLogo.png
Thanks for uploading File:CatapultLogo.png. 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) 03:26, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

WP:PAID
If you continue editing without making the mandatory paid editing disclosure, you will be blocked from editing. 100%. Do the right thing. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:05, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
