Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Flix Premiere. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Thank you for the note on thumbnails. I'm learning quickly and appreciate that.

Speedy deletion nomination of BotObjects


A tag has been placed on BotObjects requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://3dprinting-blog.com/tag/3d-systems/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Northds. 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. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID). Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 21:04, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jonathan Thompson (television presenter)


A tag has been placed on Jonathan Thompson (television presenter), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. SmartSE (talk) 09:42, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. SmartSE (talk) 11:50, 31 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Your edits here have been exclusively promotional and yet despite warnings and requests to disclose your conflict of interest you have not done so. If you do not understand the problem with beginning an encyclopedia article with "one of Britain’s leading entrepreneurs" and using this to reference what is essentially a CV then there is no hope. SmartSE (talk) 11:53, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Now trying to evade this via SmartSE (talk) 12:05, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

That doesn't address your block evasion. PhilKnight (talk) 21:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The claim that you are not being paid, given that your account represents the marketing agency North Creative (and isn't even your first account), is more than a little hard to swallow. Yunshui 雲 水 22:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you sure about that? That's not something I'd noticed. FWIW, I found the commons uploads the main indicator of COI, which has still not been disclosed. SmartSE (talk) 22:22, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh look I hereby affirm that I am Martin Warner. Quelle surprise. SmartSE (talk) 22:32, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Emailing you details of why I'm sure (and why I believe the claim of being Martin Warner is untrue). Yunshui 雲 水 07:21, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. It makes sense. Either way this account clearly shouldn't be unblocked. SmartSE (talk) 07:50, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I have amended my email address as this was an old email address.Northds (talk) 09:27, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The photograph in question has an associated Ticket#2019060110001451 My message was a copy of what I had asked the subject to send to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org He has since done that and also sent clarification in the form of a signed contract that the photographer 'Studio Instant Fort' has provided a free license release for this image. Northds (talk) 09:32, 5 June 2019 (UTC) sorry for any confusion.
 * Yamla Is there a way that I can send you a copy of the contract to prove that the image has been transferred to the subject. Northds (talk) 09:43, 5 June 2019 (UTC)


 * That's not the issue. The issue is that you continue to lie about who you are and why you are here. SmartSE (talk) 09:52, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Note to reviewing administrator Further block evasion today as 82.132.226.207. Yunshui 雲 水 09:44, 5 June 2019 (UTC)


 * That wasn't me by the way. I'm trying to get the article cleaned up and know not to delete those bits Northds (talk) 09:48, 5 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Right... That's really convincing. SmartSE (talk) 09:52, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Stop pinging me. I have already reviewed and declined your unblock request. I don't know why you keep on using my name, even though you aren't talking to me. --Yamla (talk) 10:03, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Email
You've requested being unblocked by email saying you wish to edit other articles and contribute to the community. Considering the above I'm very hesitant to, but I am restoring your ability to make an unblock request here, giving you one final chance to atone. If you disclose your conflict of interest, promise not to add promotional material and stay completely away from Martin Warner and related articles for the a year then I probably would unless anyone else still has reservations. SmartSE (talk) 22:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)


 * That is not disclosing your COI. SmartSE (talk) 10:48, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

After reading up on the subject, I should declare a COI for the authoring of the Martin Warner page. Martin is in my wider business network. However, I have not received any payments for work on his page.Northds (talk) 13:54, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * What articles are you interested in editing? Will you be editing for pay or editing articles related to other people in your wider business network? Thanks, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 06:50, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * articles that I have an interest in, such as my local area, stocks and shares companies. If I have any future COI. I would declare and also not publish an article without submitting for review by others first. Northds (talk) 07:22, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I've also noticed a section on Wikipedia that is marked Articles for help/review. So I will do my best to contibute to those too. Northds (talk) 09:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
