User talk:IVH10

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

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! S Philbrick (Talk)  13:00, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Three problems
I realize with the username IVH10, you might be Iris van Herpen. If so, you might think that you can add material from your own page to a Wikipedia article about you. However, there are three issues: if you are the subject of the article then you have a conflict of interest and should not be directly editing the article.Please take a look at our conflict of interest policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest

However, we don't know for certain that you are that person, and we don't know for certain that the copyright for the material at http://www.irisvanherpen.com/about is held by you, and we don't know for certain that even if those two are true, that you would feel comfortable with the permission statement necessary for the inclusion of text which we allows anyone to use it any time for any purpose including modification. For this reason, when someone wishes to incorporate copyrighted text, we require a permission statement be filed with OTRS with evidence that it is coming from the copyright holder.

Finally, even if that is done, the material may not meet our standards for reliable public sources. Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  13:06, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
