Callaway Golf Company[edit]

I have reformatted your update and converted your inline links into inline references using the ref tag. In the future, please preview the page before saving. When you copy info in from another application or source will most likely break the page without some further editing. Leading spaces always cause issues with the page display and therefore need to be removed. The preview function does give you an accurate picture of what the page will look like once saved so it will be apparent if it needs further editing to be readable. Also, you can use the "View history" tab to see the differences between what you saved and what I saved to get a better idea of how to adjust the format in the future. Welcome to wikipedia.

October 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Callaway Golf Company. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. _wjemather ^bigissue 21:54, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Callaway Golf Company. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. _wjemather ^bigissue 22:12, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Callaway Golf Company, you may be blocked from editing. _wjemather ^bigissue 22:43, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did at Callaway Golf Company, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. _wjemather ^bigissue 22:55, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation[edit]

Thank you for submitting an article to Wikipedia. Your submission has been reviewed and has been put on hold pending clarification or improvements from you or other editors. Please take a look and respond if possible. You can find it at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ely Callaway. If there is no response within twenty-four hours the request may be declined; if this happens feel free to continue to work on the article. You can resubmit it (by adding the text {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} to the top of the article) when you believe the concerns have been addressed. Thank you.

Your article submission has been declined, and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ely Callaway was not created. Please view your submission to see the comments left by the reviewer, and please feel free to resubmit once the issues have been addressed. (You can do this by adding the text {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} to the top of the article.) Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! Petrb (talk) 15:19, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have redirected Ely Callaway JR to Callaway Golf Company. The article you created was declined at Articles for creation (as above) and you have not addressed any of the issues raised. It would be best for all if you re-used that process as recommended above should you want to persue the creation of this article any further. Regards, _wjemather ^bigissue 19:17, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Ely-callaway-on-green.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Ely-callaway-on-green.jpg. 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) 18:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your article submission Ely Callaway[edit]

Hello GolfInfo. It has been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled Ely Callaway.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 02:01, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Ely-callaway-portrait.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Ely-callaway-portrait.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. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 13:12, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
