Ebony Bones
Hello Krugkris. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ebony Bones, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to you, your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Voceditenore (talk) 12:12, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on User talk:Crisco 1492. Saying that an editor has a stalker-like-obsession is unacceptable, and won't be tolerated here on Wikipedia. Note that editors do not have to edit articles they are fammiliar with, infact it is usually not encouraged to do so, as an editor may have a conflict of interest. Thank You -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 12:29, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

You uploaded this image claiming that it was entirely your own work. However, the photographer was clearly Jean-Baptiste Mondino and has previously been published on copyright websites and in print. Normally, the photographer retains copyright. Even if you do (as you claim) represent Ebony Bones's record label, you cannot give away the photographer's copyright without providing either [a] proof that you are Jean-Baptiste Mondino or [b] that Mondino has surrendered the copyright to you with proof that you are the person to whom the copyright has been surrendered, i.e. your real name. It's a fairly complicated procedure and needs to be done via email. Please see Donating copyrighted materials and Requesting copyright permission for guidance on how to go about it. Note that the image is currently at a deletion discussion on Wikimedia Commons where you are welcome to give your input. Voceditenore (talk) 12:48, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Account blocked pending verification of identity
Hello. Your user account name and edits imply that you are professional photographer Kris Krug. We will need you to verify this to continue using this account on Wikipedia in accordance with WP:REALNAME. There are two simple methods to verify your identity. The easiest and quickest way to resolve the problem is to edit your website to confirm that this is your account and to provide a link her to that online confirmation. If you would prefer not to do this on your website, you can instead send an e-mail from your domain (as identified on your contact page to [mailto:info-en@wikimedia.org info-en@wikimedia.org] verifying that this is your account name. This step is necessary to ensure that identifiable public persons are not impersonated on Wikipedia.

Please do not continue to edit articles or upload images prior to verifying your identity. As I am assuming that you are who you indicate, I would prefer not to preemptively block your account, but this is an essential step to continuing to edit under this identity. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:37, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * As it has now been pointed out to me that you have apparently edited from an IP in the UK, while Kris Krug lives in Vancouver, I have taken the step of preemptively blocking your account. If you are Kris Krug, I do apologize for the necessity, but protecting people's identities is important to Wikipedia. Once you verify by either of those processes, your account can be unblocked. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:26, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
