There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:04, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blipblip88! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Made / Nous that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Blipblip88. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Made / Nous, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Nat Gertler (talk) 23:55, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Logo problem

You inquired on my talk page about the disappearance of the logo you had placed on the Made / Nous page. When it comes to images used on Wikipedia, there is a lot of concern about whether we have the rights to use those images. In this particular case, you appear to have uploaded the image to Wikimedia Commons, which is only for images that are basically free for anyone to use, such as public domain images or ones that have freedom of use under a Creative Commons license. The logo image you posted appeared to have none of those. You may have more success uploading the image to Wikipedia itself instead of Wikimedia Commons, because images stored on Wikipedia can be justified through "fair use" means in many cases.... but when uploading the image, you still need to give a reason (from a selection of possibilities) why "fair use" applies.

As for why people think that you may have a conflict of interest:

your edits have been focused on a very small range of related pages
your edits have been positive or promotional in nature
this topic has been subjected to conflict-of-interest edits in the past, by an editor who stopped editing very shortly before you began, which is often a sign that the same person is editing under a new account

I hope that helps. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:42, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
