File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Robert kirby.jpg
[edit]![File Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Robert kirby.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.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 01:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 01:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Modification of Brews' sanctions
[edit]Hi Profstandwellback:
- Thank you for your support during the recent review of my sanctions. Unfortunately, administrators have not seen fit to actually consider your observations (nor those of others), but have instead elected to stick with the status quo for no stated or discernible reasons, and in the face of many editors' opinions, and despite my past contributions and my present demonstrations of cooperation.

Shampoo for float tanks
[edit]The problem you cited is "shampoos are necessary but cause a problem since they contribute foaming agents, fats, and colours into the float tank. The worst symptom is a milky colloid which is very hard to filter away or otherwise remove" Reviewing the information I can find about float tanks and recommended procedures for using them, I'm guessing that your problem arises because your clients are showering/shampooing immediately before using the tanks. In all likelihood, the strong salt solution used in the tanks is stripping residual shampoo oils/fats/conditioners/fragrances intentionally left behind on hair by commercial shampoo preparations.
It would be possible to formulate and package a shampoo, bodywash, and/or haircare/skincare regimen specifically designed to minimize residues left in float tank systems, and I would be thrilled to work with you towards that end, or I could design a series of experiments that would tell you which commercial products would be optimum for use with your systems.
Off the top of my head, however, I'm guessing that generic baby shampoo, while marginally effective in cleaning adult hair, would be the sort of product that would leave minimal residues. Leave me a comment and I will be happy to discuss this further.Bobzchemist (talk) 01:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC) Hi Bobzchemist, I really must apologise for the long delay mostly die to my lack of understanding of how Wiki works. Are you still there? I have discovered that it is the sodium laureth sulphate in nearly every shampoo which reacts with magnesium to form an insoluble scum. I have experimented with soap nut extract and wish to find a good thickener and other ingredients. Help much appreciated.Profstandwellback (talk) 12:09, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Conflict of interest?
[edit] Hello Profstandwellback. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 16:07, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
