Disambiguation link notification for April 28[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited GMD GMD1, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oregon Pacific Railroad. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Mike Kanentakeron Mitchell[edit]

HI there. The Canadian Lacrosse Association ref at Mike Kanentakeron Mitchell says that Mitchell was added to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2003 as a "Special Contributor." Yet I can't find any evidence of that on the HoF website. I've added Mitchell to the list of inductees but now I'm unsure. Can you shed some light? thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:10, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can locate no record of Mike Kanentakeron Mitchell nor any inductee photograph in our archives listing or indicating him as a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. We do not have a category of "Special Contributor" - therefore I am removing his name.

I figured it out: Mike Kanentakeron Mitchell was inducted into the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2003 - the CLA article obviously confused halls of fame; not the first time and probably not the last.

Disambiguation link notification for February 24[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mann Cup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brampton Excelsiors. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Davidjsc. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, 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, clients, 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. Per your comment "I am a member of the Board of Directors for the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, update maintain our wikipedia page, and have usage of the logo" you have a clear conflict of interest. Meters (talk) 05:07, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not enough simple to declare that you have a conflict of interest. You should request edits rather than directly editing the articles with which you have a conflict of interest. Meters (talk) 05:11, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How do we get our inductee information updated then? We are a volunteer organsation; I am not "employed" by the hall. Davidjsc (talk) 05:30, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Read the links. They clearly explain how to request edits to an article in which you have a conflict of interest, and htey clearly explain that a conflict of interest is not solely an employee issue. Meters (talk) 05:44, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Again, stop editing this article Propose your changes on its talk page. Meters (talk) 05:24, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Davidjsc! Your additions to Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 14:31, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
