September 2016
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Justin Cappos. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

The article Justin Cappos has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

 * I'm new to Wikipedia. I moved the article to Draft: because I read on one of the Wikipedia help rabbit holes that this is a good way to park an article while you fix it thereby avoiding getting it deleted. was I wrong to do this?Kgberg (talk) 23:06, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Justin Cappos, professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at NYU Tandon School of Engineering.png
Thanks for uploading File:Justin Cappos, professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at NYU Tandon School of Engineering.png, which you've attributed to NYU Tandon School of Engineering. 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

Help me!
Please help me with...our incoming dean at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Jelena Kovačević, has asked me to delete something from her Wikipedia page, specifically "Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University." I don't wish to break the rules vis a vis proper editing of a biography of a living person, but it's critical to her that she no longer have the Carnegie Mellon association on her Wiki page. Is it possible to do this change without her page getting flagged? Thank you very much for any advice on this!

Kgberg (talk) 13:40, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you please clarify why it needs to be removed? It appears to be sourced. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  14:47, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

CHRISSY MAD Yes, while until fairly recently she was head of computer and electrical engineering at CM, she has since left, and next month begins as Dean here at NYU Tandon. She (and we) just wants to make that change clear on her Wikipedia page. If I include — with any editorial changes I make — valid link(s) either to a page at Carnegie Mellon stating that she has departed for NYU Tandon (or from some other source stating so), or a link from NYU's news site, (or from a legitimate news site) that she is soon to be the new Dean here at Tandon will I be okay? thanks again. Kgberg (talk) 17:03, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You can request it on the talk page, per WP:COI but it won't be removed in it's entirety. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  21:05, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * okay, thanks. Request on the talk page associated with her site, right? Newbie question. Kgberg (talk) 17:18, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

CHRISSY MAD it was suggested to me in Tealounge that I add a template when I ask for changes on talk pages in which my relationship is COI. Would that template be Kgberg (talk) 16:25, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

WP:DECLARECOI
Hi Kgberg. Please make sure you declare your COI, ideally on your user page, for articles in which WP:COI may be applicable that you intend to edit or have already edited. This particularly important with respect to WP:PAID since undeclared “paid” editing is considered a violation of wmf:Terms of Use. — Marchjuly (talk) 08:24, 30 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much! I certainly don't want to violate terms of use. I declared my COI status by prefacing my query on the talk page at Theodore Rappaport with the proper "request edit" template, but it sounds like I need also to denote my COI status on my own user page Kgberg? If so, can I indicate that my COI status pertains only to content relating to The NYU Tandon School of Engineering?Kgberg (talk) 20:44, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You're not required to disclose your COI on your userpage, but it's generally a good place to do so since that's where others might look first if they have concerns about whether you're making undisclosed paid contributions. You can use Template:Paid to do this or you can simply add a statement stating who you're editing on the behalf of and the articles for which you've got a COI. As long as you're upfront about any connection you've got and don't try to deceive anyone, you should be fine. Another way to disclose your COI would be to add Template:Connected contributor (paid) to the header's of the talk pages of any articles for which you have a COI. Adding a declaration to both your user page and each each relevant talk page isn't required (one or the other should suffice), but it might just further show that you're trying to be totally transparent about your COI and making it easier for others to be aware of. One advantage to also adding a connected contributor template to an article talk page is that it will always be there for any who looks at the page to see and you can simply mention your COI being declared above whenever you make an edit request. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:09, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
