If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Brad Mays., 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 or creating 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,
  4. avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 03:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article looks much better, but there's still some more cleaning up to do. I would suggest looking at an article like this Noah Baumbach for a model. You could start with cleaning the external links. Just click the edit link for Baumbach's article and see how they set it up

Thanks.

It looks much better, great job. The one thing I would suggest is to check out external link syntax. Those numbers shouldn't be appearing next to the link. See Wikipedia:Links#Syntax. Thanks. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 01:39, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks ever so much. I really feel like I've learned something useful. I can't wait to do a couple more articles, now with much better tools!

I think I'm finished. But given your keen eye, I cannot be sure. Still, I have gone to great lengths to keep everything factual and neutral in tone.

Orphaned non-free image (File:The Water Hen.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Water Hen.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 15:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Brad Mays editing Stage Fright.jpg

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Brad Mays editing Stage Fright.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.35.224 (talk) 03:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
