Editing copyright violations

Hello Gratitude2014. I'm Shirik, an administrator on Wikipedia. I had to delete your article because it was a copyright violation. I note that you had modified it after the copyright violation to make it "more organic". I wanted to point out that this doesn't eliminate the copyright violation problem, because it is still a derivative work from a copyrighted work, which is illegal. The original content must be unique (or from a permissible source). Editing copyrighted text still results in content that is still copyrighted by its original owner. Feel free to recreate the article with original text. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 00:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

You have a basic misunderstanding about what Wikipedia is, which I think is why you have repeatedly failed. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a promotional tool. Because you have copied from promotional material your entry sounds promotional, which violates our neutral point of view guidance. To write a biography you have to amass a lot of information from independent and reliable sources to write a proper article. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:52, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
