Moved your draft

Hi Lyoonster, I just wanted to let you know that the article draft you created has been moved to Draft:A Night in Compton. You can work on it there until you are finished - see Wikipedia:Drafts for more info on how to prepare and submit drafts for publishing. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 14:41, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Lyoonster, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 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. bonadea contributions talk 14:52, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Your article drafts

Hi Lyoonster, you have created two article drafts on this user talk page, and you attempted to create an article by moving your entire user talk page. Your user talk page needs to be here - you can't move the page with the messages left for you out into the encyclopedia itself, so I have moved it back.

Create a new draft, on a new page, for each of the articles you wanted to create, and paste the article text from this page into that page. Since you are the only one who has worked on the text and you wrote it on your user talk page, you can do that (cutting and pasting an entire article is normally not allowed when the editing history needs to be preserved, but that's not an issue here.)

Your editing so far is all about films created by one specific movie maker. Do you have any connection to him? If so, you need to declare that - please read WP:COI and WP:PAID. Editing with a conflict of interest is not prohibited, but you need to be very careful to adhere to Wikipedia's policies. From what I can tell the movies are notable and you write in a neutral tone, but the WP:PAID declaration is mandatory if there is any kind of paid relationship. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 07:54, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Please read the information above and do not create drafts on your user talk page. You also need to address the question of conflict of interest. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 21:22, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Lyoonster. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 which forms all or part of work 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. bonadea contributions talk 13:30, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

I am not a associated as a paid personnel with this movie. Nobody has hired me to write about this movie. I enjoy movies made by the people involved and I noticed there was not a Wikipedia entry. My entry on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Night_in_Compton, which involves similar people, was also written by me and was accepted. These are my own words and do not intentionally imitate other sources. Where a quote is used, it is quoted properly. It is not an advertisement. I researched all of the sources. From the site BlackNLA to the book Frame by Frame III. I am resubmitting it along with a another entry for another movie called Marriage Prep produced by the same people. These are real movies that made it to the real market and real people viewed them and real people can still purchase them. Lyoonster
