Orphaned non-free image File:Beijing Music Festival.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Beijing Music Festival.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:13, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Your edits to Classical Movements and other articles
Hello Pianolover1979. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Classical Movements. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. 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, and if it does not, 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, 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:Pianolover1979. 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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. While the "advertorial" content you added to Classical Movements was particularly egregious, this message also applies to several other articles you have created or heavily edited, e.g.Patricia Price, Olga Kern, Haochen Zhang, Julian Schwarz, Anne Akiko Meyers, Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition, Yu Long, and Beijing Music Festival.

 * I'm sorry about that. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and your guidance on this issue. I was not aware. I've added the disclosure per the template you referred me to. Thanks! Pianolover1979 (talk) 03:24, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for that. I have added the appropriate notices to the talk pages of those articles and will request editors at Wikiproject Classical Music to check them for neutrality. There are just a couple of other things to clear up. All of the artists and organizations for which you have declared paid editing are clients of 8VA Music Consultancy . However, you have not declared for Patricia Price which you created and I mentioned above. She is the Managing Director and co-founder of this company. You have also edited Christina and Michelle Naughton who were clients of 8VA when you edited it. Can you please clarify if you were also paid for editing/creating those articles. Also if you are employed or paid by 8VA to edit/create the articles on their clients (rather than being directly paid by the artists/organizations themselves), then the more appropriate declaration form would look like this (using Julian Schwarz as an example):




 * Can you also confirm (1) that you are the sole operator of this account (Pianolover1979) with no one else having the password to it and (2) that you have not edited Wikipedia under any other usernames/accounts. For guidance on these issues, see this page. Regards, Voceditenore (talk) 07:52, 27 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Apologies for missing those two - I've just added them and changed the formatting per your suggestion. I am indeed the sole operator of this account. Another person at the organization had an old account, but it is inactive now.Pianolover1979 (talk) 23:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

September 2017
Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Classical Movements. 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!
