Orphaned non-free media (File:Zenith Staybrite logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:Zenith Staybrite logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:08, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Anglian Water: Inaccurate/inappropriate edit summaries; removal of referenced content
This edit summary states "Citations for "serial offender" comment were unverifiable." These citations are: Presumably, you claim they are "unverifiable" simply because you personally could not click on them and read them online? Per Wp:Verifiability: "Other people should in principle be able to check that material in a Wikipedia article has been published by a reliable source. This implies nothing about ease of access to sources: some online sources may require payment, while some print sources may only be available in university libraries, or in off-line sources" (my emphasis.) If you see a reference from a book that you don't own, do you consider that "unverifiable" also? Just this once, I will quote to you the relevant phrases from the cited articles: In future, I suggest you WP:AGF and visit your public library if you don't have the book/microfilm/publication/journal on your desk in front of you. I have reverted your edit. Keri (talk) 21:13, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

 * "Some of the supposed champions of corporate social responsibility are repeat offenders when it comes to pollution, the Environment Agency reported yesterday: United Utilities, Anglian Water Services, Thames Water Utilities, BP Oil, TotalFinaElf and Tesco were ranked among the worst polluters for the second year running."
 * "The Environment Agency said yesterday that although there were more prosecutions taken against corporate polluters, 20% were repeat offenders who had failed to learn from previous convictions[...] Significant repeat offenders in 2002 include United Utilities (£327,500), Anglian Water Services Ltd (£285,000), Thames Water Utilities Ltd (£135,000), BP Oil Ltd (£60,000), TotalFinaElf (£54,000), 3C Waste Ltd (£17,000) and Tesco Stores Ltd (£10,000). All were top offenders in 2001 too."
 * "Water companies and factories are threatening to undo two decades of work to clean Britain's rivers by continuing to spew out sewage and chemicals. They are largely responsible for 1,500 serious pollution offences in the past five years, killing hundreds of thousands of fish and destroying wildlife habitats and ecosystems.[...] Anglian Water is also a repeat offender, having been fined a total of £328,405 for 20 incidents of water pollution."
 * Adding: Taking into consideration that which I now know, I cannot help myself but be slightly concerned that you may have a conflict of interest regarding Anglian Water's internet profile. I will take this opportunity to remind you that where advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest. When someone is being compensated, the integrity of the work, including the likelihood the content remains neutral toward those who are doing the compensating, is reasonably considered to be compromised. Editors with COIs are strongly encouraged to declare their interests, both on their user pages and on the talk page of any article they edit, particularly if those edits may be contested.
