Hello, I'm DMacks. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''You seem exceptionally enthusiaastic for adding links for a certain author's newly released publications. '' DMacks (talk) 21:24, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello DMacks. It was not my intention for those citations to appear promotional, or to violate Wikipedia guidelines. I am currently a student at the University of Oregon and am aiding a professor as a work study position. The goal of the citations is to let users know that the information they seek is out there, in the form of those various publications. I understand you removing some articles from the larger pages as they are already full of citations, but for the lesser, undeveloped pages, they are in need of more information. Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thank you for your time.Jlewis144 (talk) 21:35, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * We appreciate your enthusiasm but please understand that references are intended to support information in articles; they're not intended to point readers to new information or advertise potential sources.
 * You might also want to take a look at our policies regarding conflicts of interest if you're interested in working on articles that are connected to your employer. ElKevbo (talk) 22:32, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Lynn Khale Portrait, University of Oregon, March 2010.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Lynn Khale Portrait, University of Oregon, March 2010.jpg. 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.

Lynn R. Kahle
The article Lynn R. Kahle looks fine, but adding mentions of the person on other articles is not. For example, this edit added a factoid ("Social media also facilitates lifestyle marketing") using the article as a reference. Similar edits have been done in several other pages. That is not satisfactory for a number of reasons. On the technical side, Wikipedia is not a reliable source so an article cannot be used as a reference (apart from being obvious, that is somewhere at WP:RS). Further, a reference has to identify a small piece of a work—for example, using only the name of a book as a reference is not satisfactory because a page number is needed. More important than technical issues is the fact that edits must not appear to be promotional. As it stands, it looks like the recent additions are to promote the views and standing of a particular person. Activity like that often happens here, and it is always reverted.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
