User talk:Esmithchb

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Please don't use Wikipedia to promote or advertise
In addition to violating copyrights, your user page was overly promotional. It should be about you as a Wikipedia editor not whatever it is you do outside Wikipedia.

If you are NOT Cody Hicks, then please draft articles in your sandbox, User:Esmithchb/sandbox, or as a draft article at Draft:Cody Hicks. Pleae do NOT start drafting any article until you have read Help:About, Conflict of interest, Paid editing disclosure, What Wikipedia is not, Notability, Reliable sources, Verifiability, Independent sources, Biographies of living persons, Copyright, and Citing sources.

Do you intend on donating the copyright to the material that was on your user page?
I requested "revision deletion" of several revisions of your user page due to copyright concerns.

Do you own the copyrights? If you do, are you willing to publish the material under a Wikipedia-compatible license?

If you are, please read WP:IOWN and follow the instructions there, then reply to let me know you have done so.

If you do not own the copyrights or are not willing to publish them under a compatible license, please "undo" your most recent edit to your user page. This will restore the copyvio-revdel template. Within a day or so, an administrator will "revision-delete" the revisions which are at issue, leaving the remaining ones.

Thank you. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  23:26, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
