It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. In addition the page you created was distinctly promotional in character, which is not permitted. Wikipedia isn't a medium for marketing, PR, or any other kind of promotion.

Copyright problem in draft
Hello George Maverick! Your additions to Draft:Raz Klinghoffer have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) 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.


 * 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. 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.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted.  All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
 * 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.
 * 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. --Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 20:45, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Final warning
I responded to you on my talk page. At that time I did not see you had recreated the draft, including its infringements. If you do so again I will immediately block your account from further editing.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:13, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for '''Recreated the draft again despite the above message. Furthermore, this is after I had responded in detail at my talk page, explaining what would have to be done in order to have the copyright released by his or her client (paid editor), in order for us to legally host such material, without a copyright problem'''.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:48, 26 December 2020 (UTC) If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

If unblocked...
...you must understand that the website of the subject of the proposed article is not considered a reliable secondary source (nor are interviews), so if you cannot find several examples of published content to cite other than these, the draft does not meet Wikipedia's definition of notability, and will be declined. See WP:TOOSOON. David notMD (talk) 14:11, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Definitely Sir.... I have understood the above mentioned statement and have read the Wikipedia's Notability criteria. I will not commit the mistakes that I have committed before.What should I do now Sir?David notMD — Preceding unsigned comment added by George Maverick (talk • contribs) 14:28, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have unblocked your account, based on your above assurances. Please understand one more thing—I already referred to it, and it's explained in the text of the canned template I initially posted above, and you have even referred to it in you unblock appeal, but I want to highlight it, as highly relevant here for complete understanding. Taking existing content and performing only surface modification–changing a word here and a word there, so that it no longer reads exactly the same—does not take content outside of infringement. See Close paraphrasing. More specifically, you write upon one recreation "All of the words are totally mine now". I would observe that this was not even close to true as to direct copying. For example, the first paragraph was wholesale lifted: Yours : "Raz's music has appeared on many shows like Netflix's 'Insatiable', "Lucifer", NBC's 'Shades of Blue', "Shadowhunters", Fox's "Almost Family" and ABC's "The Rookie" etc."  Original (from here) : "Raz’s music has appeared on many shows like Netflix’s ‘Insatiable’, “Lucifer”, NBC’s ‘Shades of Blue’, “Shadowhunters”, Fox’s “Almost Family” and ABC’s “The Rookie” etc."


 * But, in any event, the following was modified by you, but it was still infringing – far too close paraphrasing: Yours : "He has spent over 16 years in the producing field which compiles of the genres of Pop, Electronic, Rock, Hip hop, metal and other genres.He has worked with some of the well known Musicians ... He has even Ghost-Produced for some of the... His track "La La La" received airplay across the country on powerhouse top 40 stations Z100 (NYC), Q102 (Philly), XL106.7 (Orlando), 91.7 ZHT (Salt Lake City), and KISSFM (Phoenix)..."  Original (from here) : "Raz has spent over 16-years producing and mixing most genres of music including pop, electronic, rock, hip-hop, R&B, Americana/folk, film scores, adult contemporary, country, and metal. Raz works with up & coming and established artists..., and ghost produced for some of the... His track “La La La” received airplay across the country on powerhouse top 40 stations Z100 (NYC), Q102 (Philly), XL106.7 (Orlando), 91.7 ZHT (Salt Lake City), and KISSFM (Phoenix)..."</tt> --Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 18:41, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Note to reviewing administrator: This is a paid editor who is also a serial copyright violator. Somebody who is paid to do a job should do it very well, instead of wasting the time of volunteers and creating legal jeopardy for the encyclopedia. I oppose any unblock for at least six months and encourage the blocked editor to make policy compliant contributions to other WMF projects in the interim.

has been declined. User is banned from UTRS for six months. User is urged to heed the discussion on this talk page.

Sorry, no! Your client gave you? Please. Wikipedia is not a venue for you to promulgate your client's work. You assured us the last time that it would never happen again, so either you were shining us on or you have no grasp of how to not violate our restrictions on work copyrighted elsewhere. Either way, you have no business editing Wikipedia. Wait, it is your business. Rephrase. There is no reasonable expectation that you will be able to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. There are too many issues with what you are doing to discuss via this limited medium. Please see your talk page. I'm afraid I have no choice but to decline this wholly inadequate, and if I may say so, somewhat cynical request. Furthermore, I am heeding Cullen328's recommendation and banning you from UTRS for six months. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 10:06, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
