License tagging for File:ZainabUsmanHeadshot.webp

Thanks for uploading File:ZainabUsmanHeadshot.webp. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:ZainabUsmanHeadshot.webp

A tag has been placed on File:ZainabUsmanHeadshot.webp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://zainabusman.net/about-2/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I have permission to use this photograph, but I don’t believe I designated that correctly. Cannady212 (talk) 15:07, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not sufficient to have permission to use the photograph. The photograph must be released under an acceptably free license by the copyright holder. Note that the copyright holder is often not the subject of the photo, but is normally the photographer who took the picture. Whpq (talk) 16:07, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Chris Calcinari

A tag has been placed on Chris Calcinari, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Hi! Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix this immediately. Cannady212 (talk) 16:06, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your link doesn't work and you must link to your freelancer/upwork account. PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:33, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The link didn’t work because the article is still a draft. I linked my Upwork account. Cannady212 (talk) 16:58, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022

Your edit to Chris Calcinari has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

August 2022

Hello, I'm Plantsurfer. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Anacardiaceae have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Plantsurfer 18:41, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Pistachio, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. JimRenge (talk) 19:15, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. PhilKnight (talk) 19:21, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi! I apologize for the addition of these references. I am not experienced in specifically referencing articles on Wikipedia. It was not my intention to spam pages. I am more than happy to take these references down immediately and cease future referencing of this nature. I did not see these alerts until I logged back in, which is why I did not stop after the first alert. Again, I do apologize for these references and request that my indefinite block be lifted. Thank you! Cannady212 (talk) 01:38, 11 August 2022 (UTC) Cannady212 (talk) 15:52, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

All you've done is spam. Well, spam and violate copyright. It's not just links. This unblock request doesn't convince me you understand this. Yamla (talk) 18:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

Hi! I read through instructions on requesting to be unblocked in an attempt to inform myself. I read that I needed to address the reason for my block. At least on my end of things, it doesn't appear that I was blocked for copyright violation. I understand completely that my addition of the references fell under spam on the Encyclopedia and have taken the time to educate myself on where the line is in terms of adding references. It was not my intention at all to spam the Encyclopedia and I am sorry to now know that I was clearly in violation. In the future, I will make sure that my referencing does not come across promotional and stays objective. If there is any other reason for my block that you would like me to address, please let me know and I would be happy to do so.

Decline reason:

It seems obvious to me that you were paid to spam Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:06, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What edits (or types of edits) do you intend to make if unblocked? And could you clarify what you mean by "In the future, I will make sure that my referencing does not come across promotional[...]"? Thanks. --Blablubbs (talk) 21:46, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- @Blablubbs: Hi! Thank you for your response. By that statement, I was referencing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#ADVERTISING. This page was linked to me previously in reference to my violation. I have read through this page and now understand that the references I was blocked for were not added objectively and therefore undermined the purpose of the encyclopedia.If unblocked, I intend on making edits to currently existing pages, especially on my areas of knowledge (American theatre, world politics, academia). I also will look to expand the Encyclopedia by writing new articles where gaps exist. Cannady212 (talk) 00:06, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blablubbs Hi! Just wanted to follow up with you on this conversation. Please let me know if you have any more questions at all and I am more than happy to answer them! Cannady212 (talk)
