Hello, I'm Yoshi24517. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Danny Lendich, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Online) 19:35, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 103.14.70.178. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Danny Lendich, 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, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
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. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Online) 19:44, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest editing

You appear to have a conflict of interest on the article Danny Lendich. You are strongly advised not to edit it yourself. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:40, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tim can you explain more please there is no conflict of interest I am in fact Dannys daughter. Several of the facts in this article are incorrect. Why do you keep changing my edits? 103.14.70.178 (talk) 19:49, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is important that details are correct. 103.14.70.178 (talk) 19:53, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I helped bring your father's article up to Good article status on Wikipedia. I spent several hours rewriting it and bringing it to a point where it contained all the relevant information that I could find about your father. I have no interest in spreading false information. Indeed, I appreciate your concerns and would like to work with you to include relevant and factual information in the article. However, Wikipedia has a process for doing that, and it would be great if you could work within that process (discussed below).

@Tim O'Doherty is correct that you have a conflict of interest under Wikipedia's standards. Wikipedia defines a conflict of interest as "contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships" (emphasis added). People with a conflict of interest may not directly edit an article. Instead, you are required to declare your conflict of interest on the article talk page following the instructions here.

I recommend creating an account and declaring your conflict of interest both on your user page and on the talk page for your father, which is located here: Talk:Danny Lendich. Then, when you would like someone to make an edit to the article, you should follow the instructions here (or use this page). It might also be helpful to review the sample edit requests.

Regarding the information that you would like to add, Wikipedia requires that all information in an article be supported by reliable sources. Put another way, even though you are Mr. Lendich's daughter and know facts about him that others might not, that information cannot be included in the article unless a news outlet or other independent source has written about it. The reason behind this is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we need to be able to verify that the information contained in it is true. Although the reliable sources method is imperfect, Wikipedia is governed by policies and guidelines that are determined by consensus, and the community's consensus right now is that all factual information should be backed up by an independent, published source. Think about it like this: if anyone could edit their own Wikipedia page, they could add whatever information they want (be it true or false) and then claim, "This is an article about me. Trust me!"

All the best, voorts (talk/contributions) 21:43, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've made some changes to the article that hopefully address your concerns. Specifically, I changed "construction company" to "earthmoving and hauling company" and I specified that your father opened franchises with his "family", without naming specific family members, since that is supported by reliable sources. I urge you to read what I wrote above and review the relevant policies and guidelines. I know that it's a bit bureaucratic, but the conflict of interest editing process is not too hard to follow. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:09, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but there is still a conflict here. It says "avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, [etc]". You'll need a reliable source to back up your edits first, otherwise it is what's called original research. You could ask your dad to publish an autobiography, which might be used within the guidelines of self-published sources. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:54, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 103.14.70.178! Your additions to Scalper (musician) 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. 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.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 02:54, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
