 * Hi and thanks so much for your contributions to the Jonathan Walton page, which definitely needed to be expanded! Since your WP account is new, I wanted to take a moment to make sure you're aware of the site's policy on copyright, both for text and for images. Essentially, everything added to Wikipedia must be original work to which the writer or photographer then relinquishes all rights--or, the other option is for the original author to license the work for free reuse. For the text, it looks like some of what you added has already been published in other places, and unless the original author releases the copyright, it needs to be removed and replaced with paraphrasing (cited to the source), all written in an WP editor's own words. Likewise, the photograph added appears to be from a professional shoot also featured on Walton's website--if the photographer (or if that's you!) wishes to release the image to the public domain, let me know and I can help with the process of sending a release.
 * These rules are pretty strict so typically the process is just to delete anything that infringes on copyright, but since you've been doing (greatly appreciated!) work on the page, I wanted to check in and see if you wanted to make these corrections yourself rather than having to start over. You can leave a message here to let me know--I'll keep an eye on this page. Thanks again for your work! Innisfree987 (talk) 18:52, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
