File source problem with File:Tita Tamames.jpg
![File Copyright problem](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Tita Tamames.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 21:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Sebastian spreng, delicate balance (songs), oil on canvas, 10 x 10 each.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NW (Talk) 02:56, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Susanna Walton
The page is now at Susana Walton, which used to be a redirect. Just in case you wondered what was going on… Regards, -- Hebrides (talk) 16:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- I had to ask an administrator to move it for me, because there was a redirect page already there. Thanks for writing this article. She is definitely worthy of an encyclopaedia article – I've just been reading some of the fascinating obituaries that you have kindly linked to. --Hebrides (talk) 16:41, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind – I removed your photo (which still appears elsewhere in Wikipedia) and replaced it with a photo of the Nymphaeum – her own memorial that she created, with the inscription, "This green arbour is dedicated to Susana, who loved tenderly, worked with passion and believed in immortality". I also managed to find and include a photo of her, with one of her hats, which I've included in the infobox. — Hebrides (talk) 18:15, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- Looks as if the photo of her will be deleted – the uploader to Flickr was less than honest about the copyright and I took it at face value, but the Exif tags tell another story. A pity, because it's a nice photo. — Hebrides (talk) 18:32, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sebastian Spreng, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from China Zorrilla.

If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, DEDB. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Sebastian Spreng, 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 WP:Spam);
- 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. Noticed you added an image of artwork by Sebastian Spreng and stated it was your own work. If this is the case, you have a conflict of interest and need to follow policy. Jooojay (talk) 05:02, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
February 2021
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Sebastian Spreng, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. You have had a conflict of notice message on your talk page since January 2021 and you have not responded yet. Jooojay (talk) 13:11, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sebastian Spreng. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Jooojay (talk) 13:12, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
