Hello. I'm writing you in response to your review on April 1, 2021 and decline for my article/work on User:Updatetimely/Sam Hennings You declined it saying I'm not allowed to use copyrighted material. Which I did not do. It's my material. I am Sam Hennings and I wrote/created everything you read. It's my BIO with my work and I created the text and posted it. Both on IMDB and the writing I submitted to you here on Wikipedia. Seems like the only way I could do what you are suggesting is to delete or change my thirty-five year career. Your thoughts? Thanks, Sam Hennings

 * There is a problem. While there is absolutely no reason not to believe you, this is the internet, and anyone could pass themselves off as you. Wikipedia insists on protecting the copyright of anyone and everyone. This may seem a ridicuous extreme, yet it is quite proper to do so. You are able to release material to the public domain. What has happened is that the material has been released to IMDB which states "© 1990-2021 by IMDb.com, Inc." And that means that we cannot use it.


 * Obviously you wish for a Wikipedia article. These things are a two edged sword. In the event that you have not led a blameless life you will discover your indiscretions will feature as well as the good things. The article will never be under your control because you release it to all to edit. Very few of us have led blameless lives.


 * I'm going to ping whose opinion on copyright material I respect. They will be able to offer substantive advice on how the material might be used. The complication is that it is on IMDB. The obvious answer is to rewrite the text such that it is not even close paraphrasng of the IMDB material, or to reproduce it verbatim in http://www.samhennings.com/ but with a licence that allows omward use. Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License is the licence used currently by Wikipedia.


 * It looks to me as if your career merits an article here. You will need to declar WP:COI if you are the editor to write it. Fiddle   Faddle  18:20, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately since IMDb content is not dated and is not archived by the Wayback Machine, we have no way of telling when it was added there or by whom. Your best option is to completely re-write the material and create a new draft. Sorry,— Diannaa (talk) 18:28, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Elsewhere you asked How about I delete the BIO page on my IMDB page and keep the one on Wikipedia? That way there is no conflict. In my view that will not fly. I think we need an expert here, hence my asking Diannaa for some comments, above. Fiddle   Faddle  18:56, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * By the way, IMDB is where folk go to see Sam Hennings. Wikipedia is almost irrelevant for you, surely? Fiddle   Faddle  19:29, 1 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Whatever you write will need independent third-party sources Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:26, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:SAM HENNINGS.jpg


The file File:SAM HENNINGS.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused & possibly improper licence. The image can be found on the actors imdb page, where I assume this is from. There is also a higher quality and color photo of this person File:Sam Hennings.jpg and since there is no article on this person having two unuseful files seems redundant."

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.
