Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Tally.bevis. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Abi Ann, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 22:31, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

Hello Tally.bevis,

You added a photo to Abi Ann that appears to be a copyright violation, copied directly from her Facebook page. You claimed this photo as your "own work". Are you the photographer and are you the copyright holder?

Unless you are the photographer, never claim a photo as your own work, as this violates our policies and may possibly violate the law as well. Please read Wikipedia:Copyright violations and follow this policy carefully in the future. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:11, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

We're part of Abi Ann's marketing team and by her request, she would like us to update the photo on her page to match her Facebook profile photo. I understand why the photo was flagged and removed due to copyright violations, but we do have permission from Abi Ann to use that photo on her Wikipedia page. What would you recommend is the best course of action to have the photo uploaded without being removed? I am new to the editing process, so if there's something I'm unintentionally missing, I would like to know so we can have this resolved as soon as possible.

Thank you! Tally.bevis (talk) 17:43, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Apparently you have not read the message above. You are not allowed to directly edit her article. In most cases, she is not the copyright owner of a photograph of herself. Please comply with all the requirements of WP:PAID. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 18:04, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I'm asking for a solution. Can you please explain to me what the qualifications are for the photo to be uploaded?

The copyright holder (usually the photographer) should send a permission letter to OTRS: see WP:Donating copyright materials.—Odysseus1479 20:49, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Note also that the only way we can accept it is if the copyright holder is willing to release the image irrevocably under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license. That licensing releases the image for any use or modifications by anyone at any time for any purpose. Don't expect that the owner of the photo will do that for free. From a closer to home viewpoint, it would also allow a vendor of pornography to photoshop your gal's face out of the picture, paste it into a photo of a nude woman and distribute it, even sell it.

Also, you are still not in compliance with WP:PAID. As not complying with the requirements of PAID is a violation of Wikimedia's legally binding terms of use, your editing priveleges can be revoked at any time until you comply completely. John from Idegon (talk) 00:40, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violation of WP:Sock_puppetry#Role_accounts, and WP:PAID as mentioned above. The rule is one account per person and you must comply with the terms of WP:PAID.  KnightLago (talk) 01:51, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
