Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Rerutter. 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 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;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * 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. 331dot (talk) 13:07, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. Rerutter (talk) 16:15, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * So do you have an association with the band? 331dot (talk) 18:14, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I am fan of the band. I've talked to members of the band to gather the information and references to create the draft page. Rerutter (talk) 17:45, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Image
The image you have in the draft states that you claim it as your own work. This would mean that you personally took the image with your own camera. Is that the case? 331dot (talk) 13:16, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes Rerutter (talk) 16:16, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * So it's not an album cover or professionally taken promotional image? 331dot (talk) 18:15, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure which image you are referring to. The one image in the draft is part of the back cover of one of their ablums but I have permissions from the founder of the band to use the picture in the draft. Rerutter (talk) 17:47, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * So you do have a connection with the band, you are in communication with the founder. Typically articles are written without any involvement from, or even the knowledge of, the subject. In any event, you cannot claim the image of an album cover(front or back) as your own work. It may be able to be licensed as fair use, although fair use images cannot be in drafts, and more generally cannot be on Commons. It will have to be uploaded to this local Wikipedia, and you will have to wait for the draft to be accepted before you can use the image in it. 331dot (talk) 18:07, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand about the image. I'm confused as to how you can write an article without any knowledge of the subject or without researching and gathering information? I am misunderstanding something? Rerutter (talk) 18:26, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia articles primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about a subject. That does involve research, but typically not communicating with the subject. (For example editors do not communicate with Joe Biden or Donald Trump when writing about them) If someone does, even just to obtain images or permission, that should be disclosed as a conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 18:43, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Also note that images are not relevant to the draft approval process, which only considers the text and sources. 331dot (talk) 13:17, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
