Patrick Smyth
This article is now back to its correct title -- no need to make any more redirects or duplicates. Thanks, NawlinWiki 15:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I think User:Paddysmyth is a better title. Please read WP:AUTO. The recommendation is always: wait until someone else writes a biography about you. You cannot claim that the length of time the Patrick Smyth article survived is evidence of notabilty. -- RHaworth 17:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

You know the funny thing...you had me up there for so long on wiki that my name has been indexed by the planet (google search - "patrick smyth" wikipedia)...the thing is that there are changes and additions to my bio since I have taken over as CEO of another company, and launched three others...whilst i understand the 'self promotion' point that you are trying to make, because of you...yes you...there is now information on the net that uses wikipedia as its source even though there are errors.

User:Paddysmyth
I've added the "" template to your user page (User:Paddysmyth), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Naked Cowboy
Why do you think information on the M&Ms lawsuit should be repeated and discussed in different parts of the same Naked Cowboyarticle rather than just once? Wondering, -- Infrogmation (talk) 23:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:800px-Tamarindo_Aerial.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:800px-Tamarindo_Aerial.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? cohesion 02:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

ok - I have some other pictures that I took. How can I re-upload them to the Tamarindo, Costa Rica page please?

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 or creating 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; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 19:41, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ✤ JonHarder talk 23:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
