Licensure of UAlbany Minerva brandmark
Greetings! I see you uploaded the new Minerva brandmark for UAlbany to Wikimedia Commons, stating it was under a Creative Commons license. I cannot find any evidence that the university has released the image for derivative and commercial use in that fashion. Accordingly, I have flagged the Commons version of the file for deletion and uploaded a low-res version to the English Wikipedia in accordance with the non-free content criteria. —C.Fred (talk) 20:31, 21 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for uploading the low-res version! Apologies for my mistake. MinervaKnows (talk) 20:41, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, MinervaKnows. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I'm specifically concerned that you have an undisclosed relationship with the University at Albany. Apocheir (talk) 21:43, 21 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note. UAlbany is my local college, I'm very fond of the school and I know several people who work there. MinervaKnows (talk) 20:58, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
