Disambiguation link notification for July 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jefferson Davis Hospital, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Confederate and Harris County. 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Texaschildrenscancercenter.jpg
File:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Texaschildrenscancercenter.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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:09, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

COI?
Hey Backspacekey, I just wanted to ask if you are in any way affiliated with Texas Children's Hospital, or in any way paid by them? Thanks, Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 22:31, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
I am not a paid editor for Texas Children's Hospital. I am a local Houstonian with an interest in healthcare, the Texas Medical Center, law, architectural history, and various other topics noted on my user profile. While, like many Houstonians, I do work in the Medical Center, I am not an employee of Texas Children's Hospital and have never been offered compensation for any Wikipedia contributions whatsoever. My contributions are a hobby based upon my knowledge and familiarity of the topics which engage my personal interests. My goals are to (1) expand articles, (2) add citations, and (3) to further advance Wikipedia from a neutral and factual point-of-view. I always seek to abide by Wikipedia guidelines and contribute to the knowledge-base to the best of my ability. Backspacekey (talk) 09:42, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Mark Wallace (businessman)]]
{{Quote box|quote=
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.
|width=20%|align=right}}A tag has been placed on :Mark Wallace (businessman), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Mark+Wallace+%28businessman%29|deleting administrator}}.
