Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Lizjensenmusic, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Draft:Jack LeCompte have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.

• 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia: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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:31, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Lizjensenmusic. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Jack LeCompte, 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 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 Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• 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 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 02:15, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Jack LeCompte

I have read carefully the criteria for creating a wikipedia page - Jack LeCompte hired me in a professional manner, so there's no conflict. The introduction is based on his performance credits, publically available. I'm also a published scientific author and familiar with the 'peer review' process and writing with objectivity. However, my point is that since this is a Draft Version, I confused as to why wikipedia has as a policy to immediately remove content. Thank You Lizjensenmusic (talk) 02:28, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

But you do have a very real conflict: between your duty as a Wikipedia editor to remain neutral and your duty to LeCompte to present him in a favorable light. This is the COI that we mean when we discuss paid editing. Your duty to uphold Wikipedia policies, not limited to NPOV, is compromised when someone pays you to create or edit their own article.

Draft:Jack LeCompte

I'm not getting paid to write his Wikipedia page. Also, Jack LeCompte is not able to pay me since he is deceased. Writing a Wikipedia page in an objective, truthful manner is manner is of my upmost intent. I know of all his performance/film/recording/TV credits. My question was not answered: Why is/are content removed in the draft phase of the article, it's more logical to simply bring this to the authors attention, if the author then neglects the warnings, then all can simply be removed during the final review.
