One of your recent additions has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.

Hello, NEKell. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


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

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:1481:74C9:C465:3961:220A (talk) 14:01, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:188:180:1481:74C9:C465:3961:220A (talk) 14:54, 26 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I strongly suggest you read our guidelines re: promotional editing, paid editing, conflict of interest and copyright violations. If these edits continue I'll request that this account be blocked. Thank you, 2601:188:180:1481:74C9:C465:3961:220A (talk) 14:54, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Kelly Marisa IS.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kelly Marisa IS.jpg, which you've attributed to Suffolk University. 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
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:47, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must: Drmies (talk) 23:03, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
 * State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
 * Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

It is obvious that you are a paid editor, and on top of that you are--I'm sorry to say it--not very good at it. Please study up on how to wrote neutral encyclopedic content before you consider a request to be unblocked. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 23:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * So you were a paid editor, but are no longer one? Yes, the references are not done properly, but the big problem is that the writing is just absolutely unencyclopedic, and if you want to continue editing you will a. have to understand what it means to write neutrally, and b. put that in practice. See Neutral point of view, for starters. Drmies (talk) 00:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was a paid editor/writer in higher ed before retiring in 2020. I've also been a newspaper reporter and newspaper editor. My husband, who did most of this writing, was a newspaper reporter who at various times covered music, politics and more. We can definitely tone it down to make it more encyclopedic, not enthusiastic, if I'm unblocked. If that happens, would it be possible to retain the draft I had, just so I don't have to reenter any footnoting that would be appropriately retained (and corrected)? Thank you. NK NEKell (talk) 01:19, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have unblocked you. PLEASE do more reading on Wikipedia before you do more writing. Citations are easy once you figure out the basics of it, and what you could do is simply copying the formatting that's already in the article and fill the blanks in appropriately. Here's the thing: don't write content you cannot verify by way of secondary sources. Your draft is still in the history. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 21:22, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
