Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Shekiamorant, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to One Day She'll Darken have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 here.


 * 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. RA 0808 talkcontribs 19:06, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Shekiamorant. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page One Day She'll Darken, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. RA 0808 talkcontribs 19:11, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

A question
Hello Shekiamorant, I just want to confirm... are you an employee of Turner, TNT, and/or T Studios? RA 0808 talkcontribs 19:22, 14 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shekiamorant (talk • contribs) 20:23, 14 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok great, thank you for the clarification. Secondly, are you making these Wikipedia edits as part of your job or do you expect to receive compensation for making these edits? RA 0808  talkcontribs 03:29, 15 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No to both questions. I'm just very passionate about this subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shekiamorant (talk • contribs) 14:19, 15 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Alright, that clears some things up! It's great to hear you are passionate about improving Wikipedia's articles on topics like this, however I would recommend you review the conflict of interest policies just to familiarize yourself with editing while having a conflict of interest. In any case, happy editing! RA 0808  talkcontribs 21:20, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker's Wild


A tag has been placed on Draft:Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker's Wild, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. RA 0808 talkcontribs 19:24, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
