File copyright problem with File:Robert Norton.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Robert Norton.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. (ESkog)(Talk) 15:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:KingCom Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:KingCom Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:23, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest policy
Hello, Mdelavina. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. --Ronz (talk) 17:22, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Addressing any COI and Future Updates
Hi Ronz,

Thanks again for letting me know about this. I want what I submit to be up to Wikipedia standards. From the get go, we actually preferred substantiating what is said with third-party, independent sources. I welcome any and all feedback.

Please note that I was not fully aware of all the COI rules that apply to Wikipedia, and from this point on will offer up proposed edits only for you or other Wikipedia editors to complete. In the spirit of full transparency, please note that I work with SolarWinds, but am not an employee of the company. That said, I want to ensure you and the Wikipedia staff that we will do everything to provide information for any pages that is as objective, accurate and complete as possible -- all while following the Wikipedia rules.

Please give me a holler if you have any questions or other concerns arise on your end.

Thanks, mdelavina Mdelavina (talk)
 * Glad to help. I gave a pretty good outline on how to proceed in my reply to you at my talk page. If you want to play it safe, just make proposed changes on the talk page. If you clearly explain the changes, provide proper sources as we've discussed, and make it easy to cut-and-paste the proposed changes from the talk page into the article; then it should go smoothly. --Ronz (talk) 01:48, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
