You removed the BLP tag from Santiago Amodeo. This tag is intended to show that this biography doesn't contain any references and citations to verify the information in article. You can add any references and remove this tag later. Generally the unreferenced biographies get notability issues too. So as long as there are no references to this biography, please let this tag remain there.  Hamza  [ talk ]  22:20, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I added a cite to a biography on vidas de cine, a well respected Films website. Also, Santiago Amodeo is my brother.. so please tell he how me to do this properly. :-)

It would also be nice to know how can I add a picture to the InfoBox, Thanks
 * Your cite is great! The ref name parameter isn't really necessary unless you intend to use the reference again, but next time, try to find more references in English. They're easier to check for non-Spanish speakers. In addition, references look better when there is no space between the  and the period of the sentence before it.
 * As for the infobox, click the edit tab and look for this:
 * Add the name of the image after . Then, adjust the size of the image in pixels after  . So, I'll put an example image here for you. I typed:

Thank you! I will dig a picture of my brother that I took myself so it will have not copyright issues and will upload it. Thanks again.

Paisley Magic Circle - potential conflict of interest
Hello, Guilleamodeo. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Paisley Magic Circle, 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Just Chilling (talk) 01:02, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Dear Just Chilling,

Like you ask about my employer and afffilitaion, let me tell you that I am not employed or paid by anyone to do this. My name is Guillermo Amodeo, I am this one here, a member of Paisley Magic Circle who has been Secretary and member of the Committee, and from today also a former enthusiast of Wikipedia and a former donor.

To respond to you, let me tell you that I am the only one in the club with skills to mantain the wikipedia page, and we do not have the resources to pay anyone else to do it. I would understand that there was a conflict of interest if it was an article about my businesses, but the article is written about a non-profit club so people interested on it will find information quickly and easily, which is the use that one does to an Encyclopedia, Isn't Wikipedia one of them? This is not a website, nor an advertisement platform, is the encyclopedia page of a club whose committee's decides what goes on it, so I cannot possibly think what is written there that would be of interest to me personally and not in the interest of people wanting to know about the club. Actually, Would not it be also a conflict of interest to pay someone to write the page? I could influence him or her by firing them if they do not write what I like.

You are hiding behind a nick, finding reasons one after another to delete our page, one more absurd than the next, so I am now convinced that this is an exercise of 'we have too many pages and need to delete some' and we happen to be just one of the smallest fish in the tank, so we are doomed for you to keep the pages about people that become famous in a reality show or for behaving bad in television, at the expense of those who contribute to culture or history like we do. Go ahead and delete the page, that way you can keep your pages about TV personalities growing, but with these policies all you are doing is killing the credibility of Wikipedia, as it is as good as gone for me and for the many like us whose pages will share fate with ours. Of course I will publish in our Facebook page and website why we do not have a Wikipedia page anymore -people have the right to know what happened to it-. You can also delete the page I wrote about my film director brother -another conflict of interest I guess, even if he is a famous person in Spain-, you can also delete my account as I do not want to be part of a cynical organization that accuses me of conflict of interest when is acting on their own interest, rather than the interest of history and culture. This is not an encyclopedia anymore.

P.S. Will you also delete my public domain from wikimedia?

 * I regret that I am not able to delete this image because I am not an admin on Wikimedia Commons. However, you can go here and request deletion by following the 'Starting requests' procedure. Just Chilling (talk) 16:33, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Dear Just Chilling,

I have not interest whatsoever in deleting the image, as is not mine anymore. I donated it to the public -in case you have not noticed it-. The club has a right on saying how people can use the logo, but anyone in need of it can get it from there because I made that drawing public domain.

What I would like is for you to tell me when the page would be deleted to say to everyone in the club. I would also like to tell you that this policy will kill Wikipedia pretty quickly, and when Wikipedia is gone for lack of donations and interest, our club will still be alive. And even after the club disappears -If it does in lets say 20 years-, it will still exist in the history books and the Cuthbert Collection in the National Library of Scotland.

P.S.- If you are asking yourself about it, the decline you are seeing on funding is the result of asking for money with the argument of keep being free -as in freedom- but not extending that freedom or fairness to your users.

Have a good day.Guilleamodeo (talk) 19:44, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

You can delete anytime now. I have already announced that you are closing our page in our Facebook pages here and here

Have a nice day and good luck keeping wikipedia alive. Guilleamodeo (talk) 20:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
