Information icon Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Kreivės / Vilnius Queer Festival, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 10:01, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Information icon It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.

Information icon If you have used another account then you should read the policy on sockpuppetry, and make sure that your use of multiple accounts is not contrary to that policy. Among other requirements, you must not use more than one account to edit the same page, and you should clearly state that you are using more than one account. You should also read that policy if you have edited in collaboration with another editor using a different account, because for some purposes that may be treated in the same way as one person using more than one account.

Information icon If you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your business, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is.

Information icon Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Draft:Anton Karyuk. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion.
