It doesn't make any difference if you are the copyright holder, it still cannot be used on Wikipedia unless you follow one of the processes here. Please note, however, that doing so allows anyone in the world to use your material, not just Wikipedia. There is no way other (at least none that Wikipedia will accept) to give permission in a way that only Wikipedia but no one else can use your material.

A warning to both editors: What's going on here is clearly an edit war and I must warn you both that you stand a risk of having this page protected and/or being blocked from editing if it continues. The three revert rule says, "Remember that an administrator may still act whenever they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit-warring, even if the three-revert rule has not been breached. The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times." Decide it by discussion, do a RFC, take it to MedCab, or use some other form of dispute resolution, but stop reverting. [Now. / I will refrain from reporting this edit war for one — and only one — more revert by each disputant, so that they can implement and/or object to any changes they would like to make after, or which are made after, considering this Third Opinion, but I reserve the right to report the edit war if it continues after that.]

Let me add a word of friendly advice: Though it may not look like it on first blush, there are strict policies on what subjects and content can and cannot be included in Wikipedia. Without a working knowledge of Wikipedia policy it can be very frustrating to try to write an article that won't be deleted. I've tried several times to write a better introduction to editing than can be found at the Article Wizard and Your First Article and I can't. Don't be tempted to skip past sections of either one, they're full of solid gold information. Also, if you've not done so already, you need to read the Notability, Verifiability, No original research, What Wikipedia is not, and Conflict of interest policies from beginning to end. Good luck with your editing, ~

Unsourced BLP warning (no template): This is the only warning you will receive regarding the introduction of unsourced or poorly sourced contentious information about a living person into ARTICLE NAME by STATE HOW in violation of the Biographies of living persons policy. An exception to the three revert rule applies to such material: If you reintroduce the unsourced material without providing a high-quality source even a single time, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — ~

Optional parameter code (no template):

 * Note that these can be (but need not necessarily be) nested inside another set of tags.
