Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes (album), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. Sum mer PhD v2.0 23:42, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello, good afternoon v2.0. Thank you so much for writing to me. I was wondering how the changes I made were reverted back to the old info. I am new to this Wikipedia stuff, and am still learning, and I had no idea a musical genre change would be so controversial. I read a lot of online reference articles, and most indicated that George Winston was misrepresented as a new age artist, and that he created a genre for his music called folk piano. As a matter of fact, in his interviews he only mentions that his music is folk. I can change it again and add a reliable reference.  Additionally, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is a Children record, again I can reference that. The record label is actually Dancing Cat, Windham Hill, not only Windham Hill.

Disambiguation link notification for August 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Doug "Danger" Senecal, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sturgis, New Castle and I Dare You. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I am a little confused. My article Doug "Danger" Senecal has links in it, yet I received a notice that my article is an orphan with no links. Can someone help me with this?EllenZoe (talk) 03:20, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Doug "Danger" Senecal.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Doug "Danger" Senecal.jpg, which you've attributed to Marilyn Stemp. 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) 14:25, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

September 2016
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Doug "Danger" Senecal. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!! Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:54, 1 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Will take note for next time.EllenZoe (talk) 19:58, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

October 2016
Please do not use thumbnails inside of infoboxesas you did to Le Boeuf Brothers. Note that this is your second warning regarding this issue. Continuing to add thumbnails will be seen as disruptive editing. For more information please see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE. When adding an image, instead of doing:

SomeImage.jpg

You can simply supply the name of the image. So in this case just do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:42, 20 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, this is my second warning. However, I have a problem. If I do as you indicate and not use a thumbnail, the photo comes out huge, and when I put the photo in Commons, it offers a thumbnail to use. Why is this a problem EllenZoe (talk) 21:53, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Cut-paste of Remy Le Boeuf
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Andy W. ( talk ) 19:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to George Winston, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. ''All the content are sourced, and reasons are therefore not valid. '' Hzh (talk) 20:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hot Octopuss
Hello EllenZoe,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hot Octopuss for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

 Onel 5969  TT me 12:53, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Hot Octopuss.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Hot Octopuss.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. Randykitty (talk) 15:12, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Copyright problem on Magos Herrera
Material you included in the above article appears to have been copied from the copyright web page http://www.magosherrera.com/index.php?contID=1&fuseaction=home.content.

Deletion pending for File:Janet Billig Rich.jpg
Hello, EllenZoe. Some time ago, a file you uploaded &mdash; File:Janet Billig Rich.jpg &mdash; was tagged with OTRS pending, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.


 * If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.


 * If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 15:35, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Moon Taxi Live Performance.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Moon Taxi Live Performance.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 16:42, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Silent Night Benefit.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:18, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 17:54, 16 October 2018 (UTC)


 * WHile I appreciate your comments Whpq, I feel that the photo is useable as is mostly because the work has been publicist and publicly displayed outside Wikipedia by (or with permission from) the copyright holder, or a derivative of such a work created by a Wikipedia editor. While another photo would suffice in the spot, this is the most relevant and clear and lo-res I was given by the owner of the copyright. EllenZoe (talk) 18:31, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

File:The Revivalists Group Photo.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:16, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Deletion pending for File:Lathan Mckay.jpg
Hello, EllenZoe. Some time ago, a file you uploaded &mdash; File:Lathan Mckay.jpg &mdash; was tagged with OTRS received, indicating that a statement of permission had been received by , but that this email was insufficient in some way

This could be due to any of several issues:


 * 1) The OTRS agent might have asked for further information to validate the ticket, but no follow-up reply was received (this is the most common reason).
 * 2) The license submitted might not have provided an acceptable free content license. (Statements of permission that allow only usage on Wikipedia or only non-commercial usage are NOT sufficient.)
 * 3) The person who submitted the statement of permission might not be the copyright holder or might not have been able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the OTRS agent that they own the copyright.

Due to privacy reasons, we cannot comment on Wikipedia with the exact reason that the ticket could not be processed.


 * If YOU submitted the ticket to the permissions address, please search your email for a reply with the ticket ID - a reply was sent some time ago requesting more information or further actions needed to confirm permission. Please reply to that message.


 * If the copyright holder (not you) submitted the ticket, then that person received a response (which may have been some time ago). Please ask them to follow up.

If another message is sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.


 * If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to  that resolves the problem, please let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 21:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Unspecified source/license for File:Rita Wilson 2018.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rita Wilson 2018.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 18:46, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Happy Socks
Thank you for your hard work, but please try to be a little more circumspect when making major expansions to artciles as you did with Happy Socks. If you compare your expanded version to the version after I have "tweaked" it, you will see that I have had to remove a certain amount of promotional language and name-dropping. This is the sort of editing we typically see from those with a conflict of interest, and the article is still too effusive. I am not suggesting a COI here, but it is all too easy to slip into parroting the marketing speak so prevalent today, even in reliable sources. And do read WP:OVERLINK too.

 * Edwardx Thank you for your kind explanation. I have done quite a few Wikipedia updates and additions, but I feel everyday I'm still learning the ropes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Like a villain


A tag has been placed on Like a villain, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Draft:Three Wishes (food)
User:Meloncoco I saw today that you did some work on this page that I created via its location in a Draft file. Currently, I am blocked at the suggestion of MER-C, and waiting for my appeal to be reviewed by an administrator. Today User:DragonflySixtyseven an administrator reviewed the page, but I am unclear what he or she thought. I have no relationship with the creators of the cereal, other than asking them for their logo for the page, which has been removed from the draft page. I think your additions of sources were very helpful and flattened the tone so it doesn't sound like an advertisement. How do I get the article moved from Draft back on Wikipedia?

August 2020
Hello EllenZoe. The nature of your edits 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 serious 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:EllenZoe. 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. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 08:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. MER-C 11:25, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

New unblock request

 * Could you identify what types of articles you would be interested in editing if you were to be unblocked? signed,Rosguill talk 19:48, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Good afternoon . Thank you for getting in touch about this block. I have interest in creating pages in the arts - from television, music and film - in personnel and the art itself. I am a bit of a pop culture junkie. Also, I like to write about philanthropic organizations like my page Kids Saving the Rainforest, an animal rescue and environmental group. I realize that most of what I've done is create pages, or update entertainment-related pages. In order to become more useful to the Wikipedia community, I will do more random editing including those on AFC, and elsewhere. I really want to be of service to Wikipedia. EllenZoe (talk) 20:58, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, your stated fields of interest coincide with topics that are frequently targets of promotional editing. Would you be willing to agree to not edit any articles about living people, media released in the last ten years, or currently active organizations bands and TV shows for the foreseeable future? signed,Rosguill talk 21:32, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, I guess if that is required of me I would acquiesce . The things you are asking me not to do are the most fun, and things I know about the most. I will do as you ask. One thing, can I do the arts topics if I put them through AFC to show I am not affiliated? I am willing to do what I have to do to get back into this with Wikipedia, so if the answer is the avoidance of what you are asking, then of course I'd do it.EllenZoe (talk) 23:38, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , any thoughts on potential unblocking conditions as the blocking admin? signed,Rosguill talk 23:53, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Please note that this user was hired to create Dave Kaplan (music executive) through a freelancing website and the job is still in process. Let me know if you want evidence or ask MER-C for the same. Thank you. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 03:57, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what you are talking about. I, too, would like to see this "evidence". As to why I chose the subject, I knew of the company through my years in music public relations and I am a surfer here in my country, and so is the subject, which is another way I know of him. I am not now working on that page anymore since the block. It was moved to a Draft file. Perhaps someone else is working on it? If this is the source of my block then I am being unfairly accused.EllenZoe (talk) 04:35, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you please disclose where did you get this image from and why you hired another freelancer to review the page which is a violation of WP:SOCK? GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 04:46, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, this is getting crazy. I contacted Surfdog Records and asked for the photo of Dave Kaplan to use on the page. I have NO IDEA what you are talking about my hiring another freelancer to work on the page. Freelance writer? My real name is Ellen Zoe Golden, so you can check that I don't even know what website you are referring to. I do know some other editors but have NEVER hired anyone to work on this page. Do you think maybe you have me mixed up with someone else? I suspect you think I am an employee of Surfdog. I am a travel agent in Costa Rica for a company down here. EllenZoe (talk) 05:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I am completely flabbergasted that you can declind me on Wikipedia based on accusations that have no basis in truth. If I were paid to do something, I would use AFC and indicate a COI. How is it possible that someone here can make accusations without any evidence or proof? It's feels I am being punished for something I didn't do. The reason I gave my real name was for you to google me and see that I am an honest, reputable person. I am super bummed out right now. EllenZoe (talk) 16:00, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm reluctant to unblock because there are additional red flags. If you do unblock, then the only acceptable condition would be a prohibition on editing about any attention seeking entity - no BLPs, no companies, products, bands, non-profits, etc unless defunct. There is no surefire way to verify that EllenZoe is telling the truth without violating the harassment policy, and all spammers are liars (some more convincing than others). MER-C 16:36, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Having received an email from GSS with the details of this case, I agree that the chances that this editor wasn't engaging in UPE are extremely slim. That having been said, if they do agree to the above conditions to not edit any content that could conceivably be commissioned, there's little additional harm that they could do. signed,Rosguill talk 16:50, 23 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I would agree to those terms. I would need to know if that is a permanent condition or a probationary requirement. Why does GSS have evidence that I cannot see or refute? I don't know what he could possibly have that has raised the red flag on me. I do feel I am being harrassed. I have stated from the beginning that I retired from the entertainment industry over 10 years ago, though know how to reach out to get photos and bios on subjects. I was a publicist, thus writing in a promotional style. I am totally willing to revamp that style. I NEVER thought that entering into the Wikipedia editing process would result in a disparaging of my character and a question of my honesty. EllenZoe (talk) 17:38, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * We don't share the evidence because that would make it easier for people who professionally run sockfarms to abuse the website to learn how to cover their tracks. There really isn't anything for you to rebut either, other than to say "I didn't do it", which you already did. Your pattern of editing is highly similar to what we would expect from a paid editor, so a disavowal isn't terribly convincing. Because of this, the conditions of the conditional unblock have to be indefinite; you may be able to appeal at some point in the future, but only after demonstrating significant positive contributions within the parameters of the conditional unblock. signed,Rosguill talk 17:56, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Understood . I cannot defend myself and my integrity further. What a system. Okay, I'll agree to the terms you have laid out.EllenZoe (talk) 18:55, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've gone ahead and removed the block under the aforementioned conditions. You can appeal the block at some point down the road either directly to me on my talk page or at the administrator's noticeboard. Appeals will be evaluated both on the basis of the amount of time elapsed and the quality of your contributions. signed,Rosguill talk 16:01, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The Woodland Strykers moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, The Woodland Strykers, 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. ~ Amkgp 💬  20:20, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I thought the draft file was where I could work on my text. That is why I copied the information to save there while I looked around for more sources. It was not placed there with the intention of using it, but to use it as a reference when I wrote more on the page. I think I will take all the text and move to my sandbox, so I can work on the text and reference it without violating policy. I NEVER intended to publish that information as it was put in the draft. Just use it as a reference.EllenZoe (talk) 19:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Broadening my editing and writing
It is coming up on 6 months since my priviledges were reinstated with the condition that I would focus on deceased or defunct subjects. I have abided by those conditions, creating a couple of pages, and thoroughly editing others. It's been fun, but a bit difficult to find these kind of topics that were not already created. I was hoping that I could now broaden my scope and work on more subjects. Please adviseEllenZoe (talk) 21:19, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , you've done some decent work, such as your edits at Peggy Lee and Actors' Colony, but I'm concerned that last week you were working on Draft:The Wiseman Group, which appears to be a violation of your unblock conditions. signed,Rosguill talk 16:09, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I received a message on my talk page about The Wiseman Group draft nd I thought I was indicating that I needed to work on the page. So I took out a bunch of unsubstantiated stuff that I had found on the firm's website and resubmitted for approval. I thought since I was contacted about it by a Wikipedia editor that I was asked to fix it. My mistake. Also, did you see my Woodlands Strykers page too and Shotgun Messiah who broke up years ago?EllenZoe (talk) 16:51, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's an understandable action so I'm not going to enforce the violation with a further block, but it is a violation of the terms of your unblock. I think you're on the right track, so given another month or so I would be inclined to remove the restrictions if you keep up the good work. signed,Rosguill talk 16:58, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Back in full Wikipedia editing
Hi Since we last communicated I've found a defunct business and a deceased person whose pages needed work, and I did it. At this point, I am asking to have all my privileges restored to edit and create Wikipedia. I look forward to hearing from you and getting further guidance in order to improve Wikipedia to the betterment of all. EllenZoe (talk) 16:11, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
