"LOW" clearly still references Legacies of War. You'll also want to make sure you have read and understood WP:COI prior to your next unblock request. Yamla (talk) 15:29, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello, LegaciesofWar, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as File:Channapha Khamvongsa.jpg, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Channapha Khamvongsa.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Channapha Khamvongsa.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 19 May 2005, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 19:37, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, LegaciesofWar. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Legacies of War, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.  {MordeKyle  21:00, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

You have continued to edit Legacies of War and related articles without disclosing your conflict of interest. I've blocked you to give you a chance to read and understand WP:COI, which we've pointed you twice before. Any administrator is free to unblock you if you convince them you have read and understood WP:COI. You may find this frustrating as we just forced a name change upon you and your previous name arguably pointed to your conflict, but WP:COI is very important to us. Additionally, this block does not represent any sort of statement that your edits have been totally inappropriate or that I have anything against the organisation itself. Indeed, once you have read and understood WP:COI and had your block lifted, I specifically urge people not to consider this block as any sort of black mark on your record at all. I'm just making absolutely sure you have read and understood this guideline. Having a conflict is not a problem, it just requires substantial additional care to navigate. --Yamla (talk) 00:18, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
