User talk:Arriale

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! /wiae /tlk  00:37, 6 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Arriale, I see here that you are saying you are the copyright-holder of the text on https://www.lynnearriale.com. If that's the case, please follow the instructions at WP:DONATETEXT for text donation. Keep in mind that even if you license the text for use on Wikipedia, other editors will still be able to edit the page, change the wording, etc. Thanks, /wiae /tlk  00:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello, I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about yourself or your own organisation is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. — Diannaa (talk) 23:00, 6 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Diannaa, thank you so much for your note. I'm really new at this, obviously.
 * Is this text adequate to repost the material that was taken down? And once I have gotten permission, is there a way to restore the previous version, as it took quite awhile to do all the citations?
 * I hereby affirm that I, Lynne Arriale the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of any portions of  Lynnearriale.com as used here: https://www.lynnearriale.com/albums https://www.lynnearriale.com/bio, https://www.lynnearriale.com/videos ,https://www.lynnearriale.com/photos, https://www.lynnearriale.com/photos, https://www.lynnearriale.com/education,, https://www.lynnearriale.com/albums-listen-buy, https://www.lynnearriale.com/calendar https://www.lynnearriale.com/contact and have legal authority in my capacity to release the copyright of that work.

 * Hi Diannaa,
 * Where do I find the talk page to insert "permissions pending"?. Thank you so much for your help with this. If there are errors in what I just sent, would you please let me know, and I'll correct them.
 * Kind regards,
 * Lynne Arriale Arriale (talk) 00:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * What you have to do is send an email to the volunteer response team, following the instructions at Donating copyrighted materials. Posting here on your talk page is not what's required. There's a sample permission email at Declaration of consent for all enquiries. The content can be restored once the permission email is processed. — Diannaa (talk) 01:11, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear Diannaa, thank you for your note. I just sent the material that I had listed above to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. I had read that I should post on my talk page, "pending". Is that correct... is there anything else I need to do other than wait to hear back? Thank you for your help with this!  Best, Lynne Arriale (talk) 01:48, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * And, I reread what you originally sent me. The information included in my narrative is just facts; performance dates, venues and other verifiable information. Thanks, Lynne Arriale (talk) 01:51, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
