 * You have been blocked for two reasons:
 * You have been introducing copyrighted text to Wikipedia. You were warned about this on your other account but did not read and heed the message.  I've added the copyright information message here on your talk page below.
 * You have used an alternate account (referred to as a sockpuppet in Wikipeda lingo) to add copyrighted text to Wikipedia. Using an alternate account to violate Wikipedia policies is not allowed.
 * Additionally, you have a conflict of interest. Information about dealing with a conflict of interest was left on the talk page of the other account.  I've added the conflict of interest message here on your talk page below.
 * The information you added was a copy of the biography which is marked as copyrighted on the source site. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia.  The "free content" part means that the text must be freely licensed as opposed to "Copyright © 2023 Van Patten Productions - All Rights Reserved."  The "encyclopedia" means that article on Wikipedia should be encyclopedic in tone.  Even if the material were released under a free license by following the instructions at Donating Copyrighted Material, the text reads like a press release and would not be acceptable.  If James Van Patten were to register an account to create an article about himself, it would be a autobography which is highly discouraged.  You may be able to submit something as a draft through articles for creation, but to do that, you would need to successfully appeal your block with an unblock request.  See the block notice above which explains how to make an unblock request.  Note that your unblock request must address how you will address the issues that got you blocked (copyright, and illegitimate use of an alternate account), and well as explaining how you will deal with your conflict of interest. -- Whpq (talk) 02:49, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Kileyburk! Your additions to James Van Patten 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please 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 described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 02:30, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Kileyburk. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page James Van Patten, 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;

 * 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. Whpq (talk) 02:30, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
