Thank you StacyBurk (talk) 21:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I put the release on the picture myself on my website and gave you easy instructions on how to see it. Why haven't I heard back from you??? StacyBurk (talk)


 * The image had already been deleted from Commons. You'd need to re-upload it there. —C.Fred (talk) 18:20, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

This is not right. I've emailed the Volunteer Response Team and I've not heard a word from them or Fred anymore and I've done everything I know or understand through all the hurdles and complicated hoops I have to jump through just to update my own picture. This doesn't need to be so hard! Please Help! StacyBurk (talk) 07:33, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Why can't I change my own picture. I am Rio Records. I do business as Rio Records, so why can't I change my own picture? StacyBurk (talk) 22:10, 10 December 2015 (UTC)


 * There are three issues at play. Regarding the picture, you will need to either put a page on the Rio Records website where it clearly states that the image is under a free license, or you will need to contact Wikimedia Commons to state that you have donated the image and placed it, irrevocably, under a free license.


 * Regarding the article, you have a conflict of interest and need to proceed carefully when editing it. Generally, the subject of an article or any person with a close connection (family or business) to the subject should not edit the article.


 * Finally, since your account name implies that you are Stacy Burk, you should email the Volunteer Response Team, who can take steps to confirm your identity and keep you from being blocked because of your username. Right now, we have no way to tell if you are the real Burk or an imposter; only the VRT can make that determination. —C.Fred (talk) 22:14, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

If you go to my website, stacyburkmusic.com then you will see the picture I put on there that I tried to put on here. It shouldn't be so hard to update my picture. It was taken with my camera and you can see it's available to all on MY website. Also, if I could actually call and talk to someone, I could prove I'm Stacy Burk.

 * (Procedural note: Conversations on Wikipedia flow top-to-bottom; I've rethreaded your comment to keep that flow.)


 * Where is it on the website, and what copyright notice(s) appear on that page? Unless there's a clear free license (Creative Commons, GFDL, or public domain), the assumption is it's under an all-right-reserved license.


 * When you say it's "available to all" on the website, that means anybody could use the image for any purpose, including commercial reuse? That's the kind of license you have to consent to when you put an image under a free license.


 * Finally, although there's nobody to call, you can email the VRT (again, instructions are at WP:Volunteer Response Team). You have to submit the request to a mailing list, but you'll get a response from a person, one of the volunteers who handles these issues. —C.Fred (talk) 00:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Also, I did just look at the stacyburkmusic.com website, and the copyright notice at the bottom of the page says "© 2015 by RIO RECORDS". Without any other statement to describe the license, it's assumed to be all-rights-reserved. —C.Fred (talk) 00:55, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

If you go to my website at www.stacyburkmusic.com and let your mouse hover over my picture, you will see the words, "Free for public use" pop up. I just now added this so this should take care of the issue. Just go to my website and click on Bio and scroll down a little to see my picture. Please contact me back after you see it. Thanks, I would really like to update my picture on wikipedia.StacyBurk (talk) 18:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC) 97.99.3.119 (talk) 18:49, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for going to my website. I'm sorry you didn't see my picture. If you click on "Bio", and then scroll down a little, you will see it. I'm not sure what to say on the website to take care of this problem, but if I knew, then I would take care of it right away because it's my public website. I would really like to update my picture, so could you tell me to say or change on my website to give you what you need so you can approve my picture?

Welcome!
Hello, StacyBurk, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 21:56, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
