Hello, Everlearningonline. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:08, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

I understand...
Hello,

I do understand the conflict of interest, why is everyone attacking this? It's my first bio of a local businessman, i'm not related nor know him personally. I had to talk to the front office and go through many channels till i finally found a local business owner to let me have some of their content be used freely, since i did read the rules. And now that i'm ready, everything i put is being twisted to say i'm in favor. I've wrote about the spacecraft and john, genuinely, i will do anything to prove my innocents, please, what's the procedure for a situation like this?

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Everlearningonline, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:John Arwood have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 20:48, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Your addition to Draft:John Arwood has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

I edited the content...
It can't be copyright but okay, how do i show permission? I suppose i can email them or something.

 * What? It absolutely can be copyrighted, and it is copyrighted as far as Wikipedia is concerned. There are links above explaining how the copyright holder can donate copyrighted material. Are you the copyright holder? If so, you have a conflict of interest. If you're not, you should figure out why this information belongs here. These pages you keep copying are far, far too promotional to belong on Wikipedia anyway. Instead of trying to figure out a technicality or using close paraphrasing, find reliable, independent sources and summarize them in your own words. If reliable, independent sources don't exist, it is unlikely that the article belongs on Wikipedia. Your personal theories about copyright are not relevant. You need to follow Wikipedia's policies. Read some of these links that I've posted here and the above sections, and respond indicating that you will not post copyrighted material again. Thank you.

I understand, my apologies...
I see... No i don't own, know personally or owe anything to the guy I'm writing about. I just found all the space waste stuff cool, I see though where I broke Wiki rules and will correct the wording by having a neutral source, I now noticed that I read the early life paragraph from his website but I will add a new one from the government based public bio and other sources that have no positive sentencing to his life. Thank you for sending me the links that thought me what i needed to be a good wiki-member!

 * Do not closely paraphrase sources. Write in your own words according to reliable sources. As has already been explained, close paraphrasing is still plagiarism. Further, you still haven't found any reliable sources. Grayfell (talk) 20:24, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Closely Pharaphrase?
I don't understand how you can make such a claim, because it mentions how he started in other websites? Because the story would be the same irregardless, it's a bio. There's no promotional wording or anything our of the norm. All i added was his background and how many children he has. I need a source to add how many children someone has?
