File permission problem with File:Cybersmile Logo Thumbnail.pdf
Thanks for uploading File:Cybersmile Logo Thumbnail.pdf. 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:08, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Blocked from editing
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Specifically, your account seems to exist to promote The Cybersmile Foundation. —  Scott  •  talk  21:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a bit close to User:Frenchtoast34, but since they've only ever made one edit (back in 2007) I don't think there's any danger of confusion. I've left a message for the blocking admin (Scott), just waiting now on his opinion. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  12:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Scott's cool, unblock accepted. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  12:14, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, when you are filing your change of username request you can if you wish request to usurp the name Toast312 - I didn't suggest this before because it can prolong the renaming process, but in this case it looks fairly straightforward. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  12:16, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I'm happy with the other name. Thank you though! frenchtoast312
 * Cool. What you need to do now, then, is go to this page and follow the instructions there. That will log a rename request (just changing your signature isn't enough, I'm afraid). Once you've done that, you can get back to editing (although not about Cybersmile, obviously!) and a bureaucrat will change your username shortly. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  12:48, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * And it's done. From now on, just make sure you log in as Frenchtoast312. Happy editing! Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  13:11, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * (Incidentally, you can, if you wish, now remove all the block/unblock templates from this page.) Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  13:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
