File source problem with File:Empty Turret Board.png
Thanks for uploading File:Empty Turret Board.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Gregburd. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Francesca Gino, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. IntoThinAir (talk) 14:54, 28 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I have noticed you made another direct edit to Francesca Gino. You should really use the template on the talk page and disclose your COI prominently when you make edits to that page as you have an apparent conflict of interest. There are exceptions (WP:BLPREMOVE) but I don't think any of them apply to your edit. AncientWalrus (talk) 17:25, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Use of minor edit
Hi Gregburd! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. This is clearly not minor. Only edits that are not reasonably going to be challenged should be marked as minor. As you have an apparent COI, editing directly will always be challengeable, hence none of your edits to this page should ever be marked minor. AncientWalrus (talk) 17:26, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Apology
Dear @Gregburd, I would like to apologize for my critical approach at Francesca Gino that was not in the spirit of WP:BLPKINDNESS. It is very normal that new editors do not know the ins and outs of Wikipedia policy and I should have been more patient to explain it to you. You are very welcome to continue making suggestions at Talk:Francesca Gino. Here is some recommended reading for you in case you would like to learn more about how to handle this situation WP:BLPCOMPLAINT. Let me know if you have any questions, procedural or otherwise, either by replying here or on my talk page at User_talk:AncientWalrus. AncientWalrus (talk) 15:52, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your kind words. Gregory Burd (talk) 15:59, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
