How to donate copyright materials (text and/or pics) to Wikipedia
If you wish to donate copyright materials to Wikipedia, then you need to contact the Volunteer response team. Through a system known as OTRS, they respond to and handle such requests. They handle that end of things, as a simple administrator, I have no way to verify the info you provided on my talk page. However, they handle this sort of stuff all the time. Also see Contact us/Permit which contains specific info on how to contact Wikipedia to offer permission to use copyrighted text.

Also please note that even if the text is OK, it does not mean that the subject merits an article at Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not an "anything goes" service, and there are some rather strict "inclusion criteria". For further reading, please see Notability and Notability (people). Simply because something exists does not mean that it is notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article about it; I exist, for example, but there is no Wikipedia article about me. What you would need to establish is that there is extensive writing about the subject of the article, and that writing is published in reliable sources (see Reliable sources) which are entirely independent of the subject.

You should also read Conflict of interest; at Wikipedia we generally try to encourage people to avoid writing about ourselves or people we have a vested interest in representing. Generally, when we write about subjects we are close to, it tends to be impossible to maintain the proper tone in our writing which is expected of an encyclopedia. See Neutral point of view for more information. Chances are, if you are taking text from a source outside of Wikipedia, even if you own the copyright to the text and agree to release that text for use under Wikipedia's lisence, that the text itself is an inappropriate tone for an encyclopedia. Text which is nothing but blatant advertising (see Spam) is likely to be deleted even if copyright problems are resolved.

Basically, there are three pitfalls towards writing about your wife/client. Good luck, and if you need any further help, feel free to drop me another note. -- Jayron  32  02:24, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * One is that the text you originally used was published, word for word, elsewhere, so in order to reuse it you need to contact the OTRS team and verify that the text can be used at Wikipedia in a word-for-word nature.
 * Two is that the person about whom you are trying to create an article may not meet the criteria to have an article about them, so even if you release the copyright on that text, the article would be deleted anyway for that reason.
 * Three is that even if the person is notable, and the copyrighted text is cleared through OTRS, it may not be of a tone which is appropriate for an encyclopedia, which would require someone to rewrite it from scratch anyways so that it IS appropriate, and the person who writes the article should not be connected to the subject, let they introduce a conflict of interest.

Please stop posting long essays and write in a concise fashion
Please don't take it the wrong way, but I am afraid I have no will nor time to read your long essay like posts. Please learn how to write in a short form. Few sentences. Where most people need a sentence, you present us with along paragraph. This is not helping your case, as I expect most are just going to ignore your posts entirely. Please see how other deletion discussions look like, and see also Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:10, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Valentina Seferinova - Concert Pianist large.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Valentina Seferinova - Concert Pianist large.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:14, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Valentina Seferinova - Concert Pianist.jpg


The file File:Valentina Seferinova - Concert Pianist.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Uploaded for article deleted at AfD in 2014; subject not notable. No other use."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 18:56, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
