I posted the question of fair use on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions if you would like to comment. Johnny Spasm (talk) 17:06, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your post as well as the last one you added to WT:NFC, but I think it might be a good idea to let others respond just to give you a more variety of feedback. You might want to add a link or mention at MCQ that you started this discussion first at WT:NFC just so that others are aware of what’s been posted so far. Doing so might also lessen the chance of somebody bringing up WP:FORUMSHOP as can sometimes happen when there are got multiple discussion about the same topic ongoing at multiple places. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:22, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Right. I'm not a big believer in disputing edits. I really haven't done this before, so I posted it in a couple of places in an attempt to put it in the right place. If I should delete the others, I will. Johnny Spasm (talk) 11:35, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to delete anything; in fact, it actually might cause more confusion/trouble if you did, especially if others have already to responded to your post(s) (see WP:REDACT) or you delete posts made by others (see WP:TPO). I think all you really need to do is just pick one place to continue the discussion and then add a wikilink to it for the other pages so that people are aware of them. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:31, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I read your comment about images not aliening with text. I could be wrong, but I think alignment changes some with the browser and device being used. This article was edited on Google chrome and I think they correlate with the text fairly well. That is a POV with a COI for-sure but thank you for the observations.

Thank you for you comment Mcb133aco. It took me a bit of time, however, to figure out what it was about. For future reference, it's probably better to respond to posts made on article talk page's by simply adding your response to the same discussion thread rather than on individual user talk pages. This helps to keep everything in one place, and makes it easier for others who might be watching the article to follow and participate in the discussion. So, I'm going to add your post to Talk:Seabee#Image use right below mine. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:34, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bodvar Antonio Gregersen would like your advice on his Wikipedia draft.that is done on the Spanish version of Wikipedia

I have finished my Wikipedia draft of "General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena" of Ecuador, South America. It is sitting in my Sandbox which in Spanish is called the (Taller).

I can use the Spanish version of Google to find "General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena" and Google will pull up the Bodvar Antonio Gregersen/Taller. One can see the entire Wikipedia article on General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena in Spanish.

I believe that I have passed the criteria for my images and their citations because they have not been deleted.

I believe my Wikipedia draft of "General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena" of Ecuador, South America is satisfactory because I have not been told that the draft did not meet Wikipedia's criteria.

I cannot get anyone to answer my questions about this matter on the Spanish version of Wikipedia.

What I need to know is there something that I have to do to get published on the Spanish version of Wikipedia or do I just wait until I can get the published version of my Sandbox/Taller when I use the Spanish version of Google? In other words, what happens in the English version of Wikipedia under the same circumstances?

Thank you.

Hi Bodvar Antonio Gregersen. I don't really know anything at all about Spanish Wikipedia, so I'm not sure how to answer your question. If you are working on a draft for an article on English Wikipedia, then you could submit it for review via Wikipedia:Articles for creation. It looks like Spanish Wikipedia has its own version of "Articles for creation" at es:Wikiproyecto:Asistente para la creación de artículos so you can try asking there. I also don't understand any Spanish, so I wouldn't know how to go about asking for you. The best I can do is suggest that you take a look at es:Ayuda:Contenidos to see if you can find the information you need. You could also try asking for help at WT:SPAIN or even try es:Wikiproyecto Discusión:España which appears to be the same WikiProject on Spanish Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:58, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marchjuly, thank you for your help with the Valamis logo. How can we protect our logo from removal? We want to provide more data about the company.

Commons only accepts files uploaded according to c:Commons:Licensing. If your company wants to upload its logo to Commons under a free license, then someone at the company will need to follow c:Commons:OTRS#Licensing images: when do I contact OTRS?. Your company, however, understand that the free licenses accepted by Commons are those which allow basically anyone anywhere in the world to download the file from Commons and then use pretty much for any purpose, including commerical purposes; moreover, once a file is released under a free license, it cannot be cancelled at a latter date if somebody changes their mind. Files on Commons need to be dealt with on Commons, so I will assume good faith here and change the speedy deletion template to another more suitable template explaining what your company needs to do.

Image issues aside, if you are an employee who is editing your companies Wikipedia article, you are considered to have a conflict of interest with respect to anything written about your company on Wikipedia. The Wikipedia community doesn't expressly prohibit conflict of interest editing, it is something highly discouraged. Please carefully read through Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide and be sure to edit accordingly. You also need to be very careful with respect to any type of paid editing and make sure to follow Wikipedia:Paid editing disclosure if you are being compensated in anyway to edit on behalf of your company, or are third-party who has been contracted by the company to edit on its behalf. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:06, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments and help Marchjuly. This is my personal account, and yes I'm representing the mentioned company. At the same time, I understand the rules and terms our use of Wikipedia, and agree with them. My goal is to fill in the gaps in information about the company, in a neutral way. -- Ivan.Andreev (talk) 08:34, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
