User talk:WestAussieWiki

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! JarrahTree 02:12, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

COI
Hello, WestAussieWiki. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jack4576 (talk) 02:32, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

COI suspected
I suspect this account has COI with the political campaign of Magenta Marshall. Their only contributions have been to that page, and have involved the copying of campaign material to that page. Jack4576 (talk) 02:31, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I think it would be wise by this User to declare any potential conflict of interest, as advised to above, and also to stop uploading potentially copyrighted images to Commons and subsequently adding them to here. Calistemon (talk) 06:13, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, I downloaded their photo from their Facebook page, can you advise of a better way to upload? WestAussieWiki (talk) 06:16, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You need to upload a photo that you can demonstrate you have legal ownership of, under copyright
 * When you upload it you can put in the description some text saying that you or your organisation took it and own it
 * Uploading a photo from a person’s facebook page is not enough, it will be removed Jack4576 (talk) 06:20, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to add to this, you were already asked to provide the necessary permission for the two images you uploaded, which you ignored and instead uploaded a third version of the same image. Not the way to go about it! Calistemon (talk) 07:35, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

looks like
you are not reading the instructions -
 * Hi, I downloaded their photo from their Facebook page, can you advise of a better way to upload? WestAussieWiki


 * Licensing/understanding status of images that are acceptable to load into commons -

Unless the image is on a website that clearly identifies licensing that wikipedia

is compatible with. (c) or similar is not usable.


 * Please dont try to download again unless you can get a handle on licensing. You should ask for help with an image that is acceptable. JarrahTree 11:27, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
