License tagging for File:Broughty Athletic 300 x 300.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Broughty Athletic 300 x 300.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) 13:50, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Eastfifefc1903

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Eastfifefc1903 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Kolbasz (talk) 21:50, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Broughty Athletic 300 x 300.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Broughty Athletic 300 x 300.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lisburn Distillery TV (January 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SK2242 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

If you are connected to the subject in any way, please disclose this as you would have a conflict of interest. While you are not prohibited from writing about someone or something you have a CoI with, you are strongly advised against it, as it can be hard for someone with a CoI to write from a complete neutral point of view. Please also note that if you are paid to write this, you are required to disclose it on your user page. See your talk page for more info.

The draft is currently written from a promotional point of view. Write from a neutral point of view. Every sentence must cite a reliable source to comply with the Wikipedia policy on verifiability (primary sources can also be used for verifying information). For information on how to add references, see referencing for beginners. External links must not be embedded into the text.

Please also find at least 3 independent reliable sources that talk about the subject in detail (not just mentions) to show notability. For examples of reliable and unreliable sources, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lisburn Distillery TV and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Lisburn Distillery TV, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Bobmcp! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! SK2242 (talk) 15:32, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Hello Bobmcp. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Lisburn Distillery TV, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Bobmcp. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bobmcp|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. SK2242 (talk) 15:32, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Bobmcp, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bobmcp|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. SK2242 (talk) 23:09, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. SK2242 (talk) 20:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

April 2021

You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. SK2242 (talk) 04:41, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Good afternoon > I trust you will be able to help me. > > I recently set-up a website - http://www.scotlandwhites.com in support of Lisburn > Distillery Football Club. > > As part of that website. I am currently compiling a list of people who have been managers of Distillery > Football Club and Lisburn Distillery Football Club.

> The club is based in Northern Ireland and I live in Scotland.

> On Wikipedia I have a long list of messages, none of which I understand and > despite many efforts I have yet to find a way of getting in touch with those > administrators who have written to me. I hope this works!

> I am happy to answer any questions which will verify my only connection with > Lisburn Distillery Football Club is that of a supporter and as a result this block can be lifted. > > Kindest regards > Bob McPherson

Decline reason:

Being a shareholder in a club is a form of conflict of interest, as is running a website that supports said club, even if that website was created entirely at your initiative. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:26, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
