User talk:JackPMercury

Welcome!
Hello, JackPMercury, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Mercury Theatre, Colchester, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

 * Hello
 * The head of marketing at the he Mercury Theatre has just confirmed that the Mercury Theatre owns this image though Simply C may have published it elsewhere. I work for the marketing department. I'm replacing an old one as requested by my employer so that the image reflects the actual look of the Mercury Theatre. We have agreed to relinquish our copyright to this image so that the page can be updated.
 * Please can you advise on the best course of action to update this image.
 * Best,

 * The Mercury Theatre, or you, should read Donating copyrighted materials and Donating copyrighted materials. So the easiest thing is to host the picture on the Mercury Theatre website and note that it, and only it, is available for use with a licence compatible with Wikipedia. I mainly use the Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) for my pictures. There are also instructions about emailing Wikipedia with permission.
 * Of course if you wanted you could take pictures yourself and upload them. This would give the opportunity for more than one picture and it would allow for interior images without murals or posters.
 * Finally have a look at Conflict of interest and Paid-contribution disclosure. You need to let people know on both User:JackPMercury and Talk:Mercury Theatre, Colchester that you have a conflict of interest and are being paid to edit that page. Cheers.
