Hi Susan Macafee! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
— MusikAnimal talk 01:49, 10 March 2014 (UTC)I moved the image and reduced it in size because it was blocking the text at the top of the article. No article should begin with a picture taking up the whole top of the article. It should also not be centre-aligned (see MOS:IMAGELOCATION). Cheers, Number 5 7 23:18, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I designed the logo, and yes permission has been submitted to "permissions" at Wiki by the Executive Director of the organization. Could I place the image under the first paragraph centered in a panorama? Susan Macafee ( talk) 01:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Susan Macafee, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was The Ribbon International, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

When I submitted the page I was informed it was going to take 3-4 weeks for approval. However, it was approved within a hour. I am the only computer literate person that is why I have been working on the page. I have volunteered my time to create this page. I was involved in "The Ribbon" event over 30 years ago. I had contacted "The Ribbon" people a couple of years ago concerning photos I had of the event. At that time, I was asked if I would create the logo, which I did on a volunteer basis. The only contact I have had with the organization is by sending a Christmas card. This last Christmas the Executive Director asked if I would do a Wiki page, which I have volunteered to do so. Everyone is in their 60s or 70s and not computer savvy. I am planning on putting links on various Wiki pages, once this Wiki page is finished. I am waiting for more copy and photos. There are numerous Wiki pages that have an image taking up half of the page. I have increased the size so the copy below the image is readable. Susan Macafee ( talk) 21:49, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to The Ribbon International, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 01:57, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

@ Susan Macafee:, this is a formal warning. Please remain civil. Do not attack other editors as you did on my talk page. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. — MusikAnimal talk 17:55, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
I have created and worked on other Wikipedia page over the years and HAVE NEVER encounter and editor with this attitude. It could be easily fixed, by not having him work on the page, since there is an apparent conflict. Susan Macafee ( talk) 18:23, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Ribbon International, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vogue ( 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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at The Ribbon International. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 04:11, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at The Ribbon International. Your edits have been reverted or removed.
Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. You have been repeatedly told not to link to disambiguation pages, but you keep doing it. Please stop. Benboy00 ( talk) 10:35, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please remember that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on The Ribbon International. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Telling other editors that they aren't allowed to edit pages as you did here ( [1]) isn't conducive to the collaborative environment that Wikipedia intends to foster.

Hello Susan. I am cross-posting this message her to be 100 per cent sure you have seen it. Please do not restore the paragraph I removed in this edit. If you do so, you could be blocked from editing, because you would be knowingly adding copyright material to Wikipedia after having been warned not to do so. I am an administrator on this wiki, and I have been recently specialising in copyright cleanup, so I know what I am talking about. Too-close paraphrasing is a copyright violation. The paragraph is almost identical to a paragraph in the book; the wording is almost identical (it was even more alike before I did my first round of copy edits), and both convey exactly the same information in exactly the same order. That particular page is visible via Google. Samples:

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
