Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Jacobin (disambiguation), did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Nice photos, really, but. Many articles that you edited already had a number of well-chosen photographs, sometimes even too many. In such cases, adding more photos on top of the page is inadequate. Another issue is credits - we have a policy to credit the photographer only in the image file (which is hosted on Wikimedia Commons), but never in the caption on en.wikipedia. In this sense watermarks as also discouraged. An exception is if the photographer or artist is notable professionally (has own wikipedia article) - then it might be appropriate to add his/her name to the caption. Regards.

I think I have removed them by now. Your photos are appreciated - we should just be more delicate and respect those who crafted the article. For example, I have not included most of my bird photos to any article, simply because the existing images were comparable or better. I did include a few to articles that had no images, or where the existing images did not cover some crucial details, like images of hatchlings, birds of opposite sex, etc. Materialscientist (talk) 12:39, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
