 * So I'm trying to create a wiki page for our newly formed company, Sandbox Productions. A JOINT venture with Sony Music.  The press release was created internally within my organization so we are the creators and owners.  Press releases are not copyrighted. I carefully reworded the release to simply give the facts of the new company.  If I can not use an internal document to create a page, nor am I supposed to be close to it?? employed there?  I don't understand who then should write the page and how it can get published.  Please help!  ChanTV (talk) 17:11, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * A few things based on what you say:
 * This is not a social media platform, where you tell the world about your new company. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and summarises what other, reliable and independent sources have said about a subject. And even then it should not be you who does the writing; if and when your company becomes notable enough, someone will one day create an article on it. Or not, as the case may be.
 * Be that as it may, given that you are trying to write an article about a subject in which you have an obvious conflict of interest (COI), and are almost certainly being paid for your editing (directly or indirectly), you must formally disclose your COI and paid editing status. The instructions for this are contained in the message titled 'Managing a conflict of interest' which I posted below a month ago. Please attend to this before doing anything else, as you are otherwise liable to be blocked.
 * Everything is by definition "copyrighted", because copyright is a legal right which arises automatically the moment something is created. In any case, we cannot take the risk of publishing something that may be covered by copyright, so we have to assume that copyright exists, unless it can be clearly shown not to exist. One way to show that is for the material in question to be expressly released into the public domain free of copyright, eg. under an appropriate Creative Commons licence. Without evidence of such release, we will treat the material as copyrighted.
 * Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:54, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, ChanTV. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jason Owen (talent manager), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:36, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * thank you for your reply and further explanation. So if there are articles written about Sandbox then someone can post from those and then cite them? The company is not new per say, it has multiple productions in process. But it has to be sources other than it's own in order to post?   Sorry for all the questions....I've been put in charge of seeing that a page gets created for the company but I feel like I'm going in circles trying to make that happen.  I certainly want to follow the right steps in order to make that happen.  ChanTV (talk) 19:35, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:ChanTV/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:ChanTV/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.sonymusic.com/sonymusic/sandbox-productions-multi-year-production-development-agreement/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
