Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Flyingmagazine", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because seems to indicate you represent a company. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. - Ahunt (talk) 18:36, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Flyingmagazine. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Flying (magazine), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Ahunt (talk) 18:36, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello. We are in fact associated with Flying magazine. All we wanted to do was change the photo associated with our article to a newer issue. If this violates terms of use or is a conflict of interest, please advise as to how we should proceed next. Thank you. Flyingmagazine (talk) 18:47, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Well first off, because you are associated with the subject of the article as per our WP:COI policies you should not be editing the article at all, but instead suggest changes at Talk:Flying (magazine). The second problem was that your magazine is under an "all rights reserved" licence and on Commons you uploaded an image of the magazine cover under a free licence, thus violating your own magazine's copyright. The image is not eligible for be uploaded to Commons as it cannot be issued under a free licence. I can fix all this for you, however, by uploading the magazine cover image to Wikipedia instead pf Commons under "fair use" under US copyright law. I'll do that now. If you have any other changes you would like to see please post them at Talk:Flying (magazine). - Ahunt (talk) 19:15, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:04, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
