Conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Dylanfreemann. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:57, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- Assuming that this is you on Twitter, it looks like you are someone that is personally involved with the project. If so, I would like to ask that you please be very, very careful about editing something that you are personally involved in. When you have a personal investment (emotional, financial, work, school, etc) in something that you write about, you run the risk of editing the entry with a bias. For example, the original versions of the articles for Lovebot and Love Invasion were very, very promotional in tone and could probably have been deleted as a promotion for the campaign itself. As an editor with a conflict of interest you will need to know our guidelines on reliable sources (WP:RS), neutrality (WP:NPOV), and notability (WP:GNG) quite well- possibly better than most other editors out there, just to ensure that everything is on the up and up. I won't lie- it's very hard to be a COI editor on here and I'm glad that you created the account under your own name since that adds to the transparency, but you will need to edit very carefully. I think I've added enough to where the article for Lovebot will be able to remain, but I think that Love Invasion will likely be redirected to Lovebot. This is mostly because almost all of the RS coverage I can find focuses on Lovebot itself and rarely refers to the campaign as the Love Invasion. Now all that aside, what I'd recommend is that for the time being you should focus on reading up on the basic policies here and I'd also suggest that you introduce yourself to Wikipedia:WikiProject Toronto. That's a noticeboard dedicated to coverage centering on Toronto, which would be a good place to start as far as finding someone to mentor you. It's also a good place to suggest changes to the Lovebot page, as it's heavily recommended that you request that experienced, non-COI editors make any substantial changes to the article. One of the best examples of how to edit an article when you have a COI would be the article for Zombeavers. In that article the director himself actually came on to make small tweaks and fixes to the article. He never changed anything major and openly stated on my talkpage that he was the director and explained what he was changing. On a side note, it would be very useful if we could have an image of one of the Lovebots to add to the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:57, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
License tagging for File:Lovebot - Impact Design WIKI.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Lovebot - Impact Design WIKI.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:05, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:Lovebot, concrete army in lot, 2013.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Lovebot, concrete army in lot, 2013.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:59, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Lovebot, statues in lot, 2014.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Lovebot, statues in lot, 2014.jpg, which you've attributed to Matthew Del Degan. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 23:48, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Lovebot, 3D rendering, 2014.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Lovebot, 3D rendering, 2014.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:47, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
