Author's COI disclosure[edit]

Hi, All, I'm Simon Rosenthal's widow--and a writer, so I've done my best to remove bias from this article and rely on published works to build the biography. I have contributed an article to Wikipedia in the past, but feel unfamiliar with the Wiki publishing process. Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Emily Emily Brewton (talk) 22:51, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Emily Brewton: You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, free of charge and in perpetuity, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:15, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... I am the writer of the article for Wikipedia and the author/copyright owner of the obituary on the website artandhonor.com. That is my website. I own the copyright to everything on it, and freely give myself the use of it, including the right to rewrite the biography of Simon Rosenthal to follow Wikipedia guidelines and release the information into the public domain. The website content was not used as a primary source or news source for any of the information in the proposed Wikipedia article. Thank you. --Emily Brewton (talk) 21:18, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Emily Brewton: Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. A statement from you on a talk page will never be accepted as sufficient proof of your ownership of the copyright. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:20, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for being unfamiliar with Wikipedia's copyright rules, and I appreciate your time. So, in sum, if I place a Creative Commons-type copyright notice on the Simon Rosenthal page on my website artandhonor.com, then this article, which was rewritten so it showed its reliance on external news sources, might be reconsidered for publication on Wikipedia? Thank you. Emily Brewton (talk) 21:36, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you place a Creative Commons license that is compatible with Wikipedia's on your website, then it will not be considered a copyright violation anymore. The existing website has a notice of "Copyright © 2022" in the footer. That will have to be taken out and the Creative Commons license notice put in its place.

However, please be aware that this will only prevent the page from being deleted as a copyright violation. It does not necessarily guarantee its acceptance; this person must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to merit an article. And please be aware that if it is accepted, anyone is free to edit it at anytime. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:41, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the public domain code to the Simon Rosenthal bio page on my website. Thank you for your help. Emily Brewton (talk) 22:03, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because the copyright issue was fixed on Dec 9, 2022. Subsequent submissions have been turned down for other reasons, which have been fixed. I appreciate everyone's time with this, and intend to try to address whatever it is that's now wrong.... --Emily Brewton (talk) 13:50, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Emily Brewton I missed the public domain disclosure so have reverted the copyvio notice. S0091 (talk) 14:06, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
