Image copyright problem with Image:Caminada.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Caminada.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 06:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

regarding edits to Dale Smith (playwright)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. VanTucky ^Talk 00:38, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Such a tag is not an accusation of bad faith or some sort of hidden agenda. Despite your openness (which is appreciated), making large alterations to your own bio without the substantial involvement of other editors still clearly violates Wikipedia's policy which discourages autobiographies and conflict of interest editing. The kosher way to edit your own bio is to propose any changes (other than the four types of non-controversial edits as described at WP:COI) beforehand on the article talk to gain a consensus.

Must be another one. I don't even know what Qqabal IS. StuartDD _{contributions} 08:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
