Speedy deletion nomination of File:Krav maga instructor David Kahn training United States Marines in Iwakuni, Japan.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Krav maga instructor David Kahn training United States Marines in Iwakuni, Japan.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. Whpq (talk) 12:08, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, MrWabash. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page David Kahn (Krav Maga instructor), 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. Jmertel23 (talk) 14:17, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Regarding Conflict of Interest

@Jmertel23: — Thank your for the detailed information about COI. As someone who is brand new and learning the ropes, I appreciate all the help I can get. I don't know Mr. Kahn, nor have I ever met him. I became familiar with his work because someone I know took one of his self-defense classes and was quite impressed with the krav maga discipline. I will read and get familiar with all the COI guidelines to ensure I only work on Wikipedia entries for which I'm certain there isn't a conflict. Thank! MrWabash (talk) 21:21, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
