User talk:Robert J Nagle

See Where Vanity is allowed. This clearly says an individual has a right to create a user page. It says "Signed-in users may use their user subspace to publish short autobiographies within the bounds of good taste and compatible with the purpose of working on the encyclopedia."Robert J Nagle 12:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Please note that this page clearly spells out the

guidelines for allowed content on user pages. My user page (which consists of 8 lines) is hardly violating any of the policies spelled out on user page content. Remember: Vanity/Notability does NOT apply for user pages.

File permission problem with File:Jack-matthews-author-profile.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jack-matthews-author-profile.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 , 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as 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.

Conflict of interest

 * Looking at your bio on your user page, which I should have looked at sooner, I see that you say your career is at least in part in publishing small press fiction and promoting authors, it is  therefore reasonable to ask  whether you are a connected contributor with respect to this particular author, in which case you must declare the connection. l. Please see our rules on  Conflict of Interest And if hte connection hasany financial aspects,   see also WP:PAID for the necessary disclosures.  I ask you the same with respect ot any edits you have made involving other texas authors.

These disclosures are required, not optional  DGG ( talk ) 01:25, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I have written back to DGG to say that I am not a connected contributor regarding Clay Reynolds or any other Texas author. There is no conflict of interest. But I did put a COI notice about Jack Matthews author on my User page. Robert J Nagle (talk) 05:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
