Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome!

Hello, Definitive Culture, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Bramwell Tovey. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeatedly posting copyright material. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Some information

Ah, where to begin? I don't suppose it matters. All of these issues really need to be addressed at some point:-

You posted a large amount of copyrighted material, which caused your block. If you believe this was not a copyright violation, because you (or your clients) hold the copyright on the material at this web page, you can publish it on Wikipedia provided that you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License (WP:GFDL). Otherwise, this material should not be pasted into any Wikipedia article. Further information and links can be found here: Wikipedia:Copyright violations.
Wikipedia has extensive guidelines regarding editing where the editor has a conflict of interest. The simple rule is that we do welcome contributions from all editors, and we try hard not to "punish" anyone for being honest about who they are or who they work for, but we do ask you to take care that your edits are not biased towards the subject. Full guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
Your username might be problematic. Our username policy prohibits using your username to promote your company. I don't think this is a problem at present, but it could be if you were to make any edits about your own company. More information is at Wikipedia:Username policy. Changing your username can be done by posting at Wikipedia:Changing username.

I hope all this doesn't seem too daunting. Feel free to ask any other questions at my Talk page, or use {{helpme}} on this page. If you're unhappy with my actions as an administrator, or want a second opinion, you might consider posting at Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard.

Fair use rationale for Image:BramwellToveyatpiano.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BramwellToveyatpiano.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 00:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Color Close Up at Piano Clasped Hands Seated Tyler Boye.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Color Close Up at Piano Clasped Hands Seated Tyler Boye.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. matt br 09:24, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
