Image warning
Do not upload images and claim that you created them yourself. If you upload any more copyright violations, you will be blocked from editing. Stifle (talk) 20:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hello. I tried to clean up your article, but you reverted everything. This is an encyclopedia. It (supposedly) tries to follow many guidelines and policies to keep it encyclopedic. Many of these policies are at odds with your article. Check out WP:PCK and NPOV to begin with. Also there is a pretty apparent conflict of interest, as described in WP:COI. Articles should read as an encyclopedia entry, not as a resume or advertisement. Any claims made in the article must be backed up by secondary sources. Any unsourced information can be deleted.

Re: Your (Stifle) message dated: 20:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I recently tried to upload several pictures to which I have full copyright, or permission by the copyright holders (photographers) to use at my discretion! The particular photograph to which you responded: (Re:  Your message dated:  20:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)) and which you ultimately deleted is a photograph taken back in 1998 by Canadian photographer Rob Dutchin (www.robdutchin.com). It is a photograph that was submitted to www.imdb.com as a main headshot for professional Canadian actor/singer Mif (Anthony J. Mifsud) by myself and which has been circulated around many other internet actor databases and fanzines over the years in the public domain! What must I do to have this photograph included on Mif's wiki article based on the above mentioned inormation??? Please and thank you!

PS I am concerned about getting blocked as your aforementioned  message indicates!!!

 * Thanks for your message. In future, please sign your messages by typing ~ at the end.
 * If you have full copyright or permission then please email the permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org quoting the exact title or URL of the image concerned.
 * Unfortunately just because an image has been "circulated around many other internet actor databases and fanzines" does not place it in the public domain. Images generally enter the public domain 70 years after the death of their creator.
 * If you require any further clarification please feel free to leave me a message at my talk page.
 * If you are concerned about being blocked then please ensure you comply with our image use policy. Stifle (talk) 10:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, 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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing 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 your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.
