License tagging for Image:Seva logo.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Seva logo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Seva linkspam[edit]

There are about 800 article related to the eye and vision; it is not necessary to link Seva to all of them. Please check out WP:EL for more guidance. I have created a section in Blindness entitled Blindness prevention. This might be a good place to mention Seva, Iris Fund for Prevention of Blindness, and others. -AED 23:28, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great work-thank you !![edit]

Wavy's article is starting to shine, thanks to your work. I tried to improve the lead a bit, still unsure if the direct quote should be kept in italics as I found it (my common sense says no). I have both of his books and am in the middle of reading Hog Farm and Friends. If you have any questions, or need any help, please don't hesitate to holler at me. Again, thanks for your great work!

Orphaned non-free image File:Seva Foundation logo.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Seva Foundation logo.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. Courcelles 03:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Aaron Simon. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Seva Foundation, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts 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.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
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. Yworo (talk) 21:54, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seva Foundation logo[edit]

Please stop adding this to multiple articles. Under US Copyright fair-use rules, we can only put it on one article, Seva Foundation. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 22:36, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop[edit]

Please stop what you are doing. You are removing maintenance tags without resolving the problem. You are introducing material without adding citations, you are breaking existing links, and adding additional external links in violation of our external linking policies. If you do not stop and instead of editing, make suggestions on the article talk pages, you are likely to be blocked from editing. Please discuss with other editors on your talk page and the article talk pages. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 22:44, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Logos[edit]

Logos are protected by copyright. Fair use laws only allow us to use them on the article about the organization that owns the logo. Please do not put them anywhere else. Continuing to do this could lead to your being blocked from editing. Try learning something about Wikipedia culture before barging around like a bull in a china shop. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links[edit]

When we have an article on a subject, that is the only place that an external link to the organization's website goes. It does not go on any related articles, because those articles have an internal link to our Wikipedia article. Our purpose is to keep people on Wikipedia, not refer them to your external site. Stop trying to promote your organization. That's not allowed here. Yworo (talk) 22:54, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

December 2012[edit]

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Seva logo - color OFFICIAL.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Seva logo - color OFFICIAL.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 23:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the necessary rationale for you and reduced the resolution of the image as our rules require. Yworo (talk) 23:27, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and don't worry about the "bare URLs" tag. That will bring an editor or a bot that will automatically fix the problem. Just keep adding references. I highly recommend that you add as many third party sources as possible. Yworo (talk) 23:28, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
