Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to London Hughes does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! — Bilorv (talk) 21:19, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Bilorv. I'm new to this so I'm still trying to figure out how to edit. Thanks! Quinnotorius (talk) 20:30, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Quinnotorius. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page London Hughes, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Your edit summary says this person is your friend. In that case, please do not edit the article. Tacyarg (talk) 21:21, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of London Hughes

Hi Quinnotorius. I notice you keep trying to upload images of London Hughes based on some personal connection to her. On Wikipedia, we're very keen to freely licensed high-quality images of notable people—I'm sure you've noticed that many of our articles are missing images of the subject, or use quite low-quality pictures. I often contact people's agents to try to get them to release an image. So I hope we can reach a fruitful conclusion. But I'm afraid to say that what you've been doing so far falls under the banner of copyright violation, which puts us in legal jeopardy.

The previous image you uploaded of London Hughes was deleted as a copyright violation and this one will probably soon be too. Copyright is owned by the person who took the photograph. In the case of the most recent image, the photographer as credited by The Guardian is Ryan Pfluger, so he who owns the copyright. If Pfluger—not Hughes, not Hughes' agent and not Hughes' friend—wants to donate the image to be freely used both inside and outside Wikipedia, then he needs to through the process for donating copyrighted materials.

Another user has noticed that the original image of Hughes we used was also a copyright violation, so we have no image to use of Hughes at the moment. There are three solutions: contact a photographer who took an image of Hughes and get them to release the image freely; take a photo of Hughes yourself and upload it; or get Hughes to take a selfie and upload it herself. In each case, it is really key that the person who took the image is the person who uploads it, and that they go through the process I link above.

Please ask any questions you have, because it would be great to have an up-to-date image to use. — Bilorv (talk) 10:16, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bilorv. Thank you so much for explaining this thoroughly. I highly appreciate your keenness. I'll contact London directly and ask her to upload the image herself. But how will you know if London was really the one who uploaded the photo? I am her best friend's assistant and she told me that London wanted a recent image of herself before her birthday. So I was wondering what other alternatives can we perform to upload photos of her. Thank you. Quinnotorius (talk) 12:21, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And also, for the link that you included (process for donating copyrighted materials), will we just submit the photo there and you will be the one to upload it? Or will it go through some processes first before it gets uploaded. I would like to know please. Thank you. Quinnotorius (talk) 12:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
