Hi. I have now requested a username change to KentonMBFilms, via the name change form, as I was unaware of the company restrictions.

Thanks. I would also suggest that you review the conflict of interest policy, and if you are editing here as part of your job you need to clearly declare that on your (new) userpage per the disclosure policy. 331dot (talk) 14:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand the disclosure policy, which is why I simply set the page up - it was a commercially released UK film, but we are a small company and so it does fall to us to make sure that these things do go up. I haven't editorialised however or written anything about critical reception and so on, as I could see where that could get dangerous. I was only setting up the page as part of the film's release, I wouldn't be editing it, other than adding the rest of the cast. Is there anything specific I need to do in terms of disclosure?

I'm not being paid in any way to edit, that's why I ask.

I have now found the correct format for unpaid contribution and declared my interest on the A Dozen Summers talk page. Is it now possible to remove the "close connection" tag on the page?

You might not be getting specifically paid to edit but as the film director you are editing about a subject for which you are getting paid for your work on. Your post on the talk page of the article you made is actually a good notice (or something similar) to have on your userpage. I suspect the film likely merits a page and as it stands now the article is not overly promotional or biased- thought your statement "it does fall to us to make sure these things go up" suggests there is a promotional element in your rationale for creating the article, even if it isn't promotional itself. The conflict of interest policy basically means that anyone associated with the article subject should take great care in editing about it and seek review by others. As long as you do that and clearly state your involvement(which you have), any issues should be minimal. My only goal here is to help you avoid problems and I wish you well. 331dot (talk) 14:49, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. And I completely understand. Thank you so much for your help.

And by the way I've removed the notice, and just put up one that states it could use more sources, which the case for many articles. My last suggestion to help you is to let you know to sign your talk page posts by typing ~~~~ at the end. Best wishes 331dot (talk) 14:53, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, thanks again. Best, K.~~~~

You will just need to remove the nowiki tags around it. :) 331dot (talk) 15:15, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah hah! :) Got it. Monkey Basket Films (talk) 15:18, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:ADSPoster.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:ADSPoster.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 {{OTRS 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 on 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. Nthep (talk) 12:31, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a lot of confusion on the image page. You are saying it's your image but then there is a lot of information about this being a copyrighted image and it being used under "fair-use". It is only your image if you either designed the original poster or are the copyright holder under some commercial arrangement e.g. the designed was under contract to the film company and you are an authorised officer of the company. Can you supply some clarification? Nthep (talk) 12:34, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Yes, not 100 percent sure of the procedure here. I am the copyright holder, but it is the promotional poster for the film and, as such, available for use on the page but not to be modified or used commercially without the usual permissions. Could you advise? KentonMBFilms (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, then the only way it can be used on Wikipedia is under the fair use rationale. This is because Wikipedia policy is that free materials must be licenced for reuse and/or modification and for obvious reasons I can see why you wouldn't be agreeing to that. Have a look at {{Non-free use rationale poster}} and then add that to the image page with the relevant information inserted. Nthep (talk) 12:53, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I shall sort that asap. KentonMBFilms (talk) 13:23, 5 December 2015 (UTC) I have now corrected the copyright info, is the template now correct? Thank you for your help.KentonMBFilms (talk) 13:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted a bit and added a bit but looks ok now. Nthep (talk) 13:40, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Very much appreciated. KentonMBFilms (talk) 13:47, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
