Deletion pending for File:Charlotte Verity portrait 2015.jpg
Hello, Nicola Togneri. Some time ago, a file you uploaded &mdash; File:Charlotte Verity portrait 2015.jpg &mdash; was tagged with OTRS pending, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.


 * If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.


 * If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:42, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Christopher Le Brun portrait by Benedict Johnson 2016.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Christopher Le Brun portrait by Benedict Johnson 2016.jpg, which you've attributed to Benedict Johnson. 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) 00:43, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Avigdor Arikha Portrait.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Avigdor Arikha Portrait.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. &mdash;innotata 08:07, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Atlantic306. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Hi, your changes to the biography are unreferenced and therefore have been deleted. You can re add them only if they are referenced to a reliable source.'' Atlantic306 (talk) 22:37, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Copyvio
Your additions are also copyviolations of his website which is of course not permitted and can result in a block if pesrsistently added, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:42, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If you keep adding the copyvio you will end up blocked from editing. The policy on copyvio can be found at WP:Copyvio. To use the artists website text verbatim it would have to be donated to Wikipedia by the owner of the website but it is much better practice to summarise in your own words what is written about him in multiple reliable sources,regards Atlantic306 (talk) 02:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Nicola Togneri. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Nicola Togneri. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. CUPIDICAE💕 11:52, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Praxidicae, thanks for your concern and for explaining this. I am an archivist and have done a project on the work of Charlotte Verity. I only wanted to upload the new information in order to update her page for educational purposes. All additions are informative, academically referenced where possible and work towards giving a neutral account of her career. There is no promotional incentive. I will not receive any payment direct or indirect for working on this page. I hope you can see this now and can allow the changes I made to her page. Nicola Togneri (talk) 14:01, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I strongly advise you re-read my warning, which includes WP:COI. If you continue to edit war on the article and refuse to disclose your clear conflict of interest, I will escalate the matter to ArbCom. CUPIDICAE💕  15:37, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This also applies to Christopher Le Brun, . CUPIDICAE💕  15:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure where you see the bias in my edits on Charlotte Verity's page. I restored my edits because I believed my response to your assumption about paid advocacy was adequate, especially as I hadn't heard from you since. However, I am willing to go down the route you suggested which is to propose changes on the talk page. Nicola Togneri (talk) 16:03, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This doesn't address the issue. What is your connection to Le Brun and Verity? CUPIDICAE💕  16:06, 19 February 2021 (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: Barkeep49 (talk) 16:09, 19 February 2021 (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.
 * Hi Nicola. I am hoping that we can get this resolved and I'm sorry for having to resort to a block. However, you have used our ticketing system to release copyrighted material. Other people being in the employee of some of the subjects identified by Praxidicae have also used that and included your email address. I don't really care about your edits at this point (though I'm guessing others might), I do care that we get an honest disclosure, as noted in the message above, about what your conflicts of interest are. I would ask that you please adequately identify these and I will remove the block and then you can discuss your options for future edits (which might still be doing them directly or might come in the form of requested edits). Barkeep49 (talk) 16:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements. I am being paid by Le Brun and Verity Ltd which is associated with the pages, Charlotte Verity and Christopher Le Brun. My edits were intended solely to update wikipedia with more accurate information and I was not aware that I had to declare a professional relationship with the subjects. I certainly won’t do any future editing of the aforementioned pages unless it’s clear that I’ve stated that I am paid. I have no problem with that, or putting the potential edits up for other people to check and upload. Nicola Togneri (talk) 16:59, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead an unblocked you. I would ask that you please add to your userpage. Thanks for your attention to this matter. Barkeep49 (talk) 17:20, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Barkeep49, thanks very much for your help with this. I have added the declaration to my userpage. You mentioned that I may now be able to make edits to the Charlotte Verity page directly once I had disclosed my position. My intention is just to provide the information I have which is factual, reliably referenced, and hopefully in line with the Wikipedia ethos. Please let me know if this is possible! Thanks,Nicola Togneri (talk) 14:53, 22 February 2021 (UTC)


 * You should read WP:PAY which discusses this. Outside of very narrow circumstances you should use the "requested edit" template. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:20, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
