August 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your changes to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hywel Morgan, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Tidyfilms", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or appear to be shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Mdann52 (talk) 17:48, 12 August 2012 (UTC) Dear Mdann, tidyfilms is a nom de plume - I make videos under that name. It's just me, my camera and my mac ;-) I could request a name change but as I'm not a company or promoting anything and there's only one of me, it doesn't seem to contradict the wiki guidelines - am I correct?

Yes, it is a breach of this policy: Username_policy. http://www.tidyfilms.co.uk/ is your company, right? Please change your username. Thank you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:57, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

The photo
You can use the photo if you get permission. You can send the owner a letter. This is what I use. Tweak it to your liking. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:05, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Please note :- The image has been deleted on commons as a copywrite Violation. Mdann52 (talk) 21:16, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, Ric Bacon who took the original photograph and I believe therefore owns the copyright has given me permission to use it - he just asked for a photo credit.

I'll email him to ask him to submit the form for the image anyway.

Wikipedia seems like a minefield - I'd just like to get that page up and live so I can see how it works but there seem to be so many hurdles!

Cheers anyway,

 * I know how you feel. It can be daunting. Here are the secrets:


 * Articles: zillions and zillions of good media references that discuss the subject
 * An article can be a total dog and still be in the mainspace. It will only be challenged and vulnerable to deletion if there are not enough media references.
 * Images: ownership or permission from the owner
 * If we are sure the image is not simply taken from somewhere, it can even be a banana skin on the pavement and it will be allowed.


 * I'm always around if you need me. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:14, 13 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I just checked the references. None discuss the man. The are all about plays he's been in. I think one is a site that promotes him, so that's not exactly third-party. If you want the article to exist in the mainspace it must have several good references that discuss the person in detail.


 * As for your username, that is part of the reason you've been having trouble. What you are doing is promotional. You are not really here to improve the encyclopedia. Your username promotes your company, and the reason you are writing this article is to promote the man. You have quite a conflict of interest. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:21, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
