Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article James Dupré, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 05:03, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

As noted, you have a conflict of interest with the subject. Accordingly, it is best to let an uninvolved editor create a neutral article about the subject, building it upon independent reliable sources.

To use the text from Dupre's website, you would have to show, not just that you have permission to use the text, but that Dupre is willing to donate the text to Wikipedia. Any text submitted to Wikipedia may be used, including commercial use, by any downstream user of Wikipedia. (Likewise, the album art that you uploaded to the Commons may be used derivatively, including commercial use.)

Even if the text were donated to Wikipedia, the article could still be subject to speedy deletion because it does not demonstrate that Dupre is a notable person, and it would be subject to editing by other users. —C.Fred (talk) 05:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Just because I know the artist does not mean I have any conflict of interest any greater than those who edit political or religious pages. If you would have read the article, you would have seen its evident neutrality. I have also included national sources and I am working on getting more. I would like more help concerning what I can do to create the page and make it better, as it is counter-intuitive for someone else who is unfamiliar with the subject material to create the page. Thank you for your help.

April 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page James Dupre has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://mykindofcountry.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/album-review-james-dupre-its-all-happening (matching the regex rule \bwordpress\.com).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 02:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Update regarding copyright concern  on James Dupre

Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.

Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.

Thank you. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
