Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:37, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Perry Bhandal Feature Film Director.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Perry Bhandal Feature Film Director.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:39, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- You didn't upload this image but you're claiming to be the copyright holder of it. That might be the case, but you're going to need to verify your copyright ownership over it by following the instructions given in the template above and emailing your WP:CONSENT to Wikimedia OTRS. In other words, you're going to have to email OTRS, OTRS is not going to email you. The file has been tagged for speedy deletion per WP:F7 as "replaceable non-free use". If you want to challenge this, go to the file's page and follow the instructions given in template. If you do decide to email OTRS and the file is still deleted, it can be restored at a later date with a more appropriate copyright license once the email you send to OTRS has been verified; so, there's no need to re-upload the file again. Please note that the copyright holder of a photograph is generally considered to be the person who takes the photo, not the subject of the photo; so, unless you're actually the photographer who took this photo, etc. as explained here, you cannot claim copyright ownership over it except in the case of a copyright transfer agreement. If you have a further questions about this, feel free to ask for help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions or after my post below.As for the rest of the content you re-added to the article, none of that is in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines so it has be removed again. Please don't try and restore it again. Moreover, based upon some of the edits you've made with this account so far, you seem to have an at least an apparent conflict of interest with respect to anything written about Perry Bhandhal or his work on Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles are written about subjects; they are not written on behalf of or for subjects and the subjects of article don't have any sort of editorial control over article content. So, I strongly suggest you look at the links I added above about conflict-of-interest editing and familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies and guidelines so as to avoid any problems. Now, if by chance you are actually Perry Bhandal himself, then please also take a look at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Relationship between the subject, the article, and Wikipedia for reference. Wikipedia has a process in place in which the subjects of articles can seek assistance if they have concerns about the article; so, your best chance is to follow the established process and seek assistance, and not try and directly edit the article yourself anymore.If you've been using multiple accounts to try and edit the articles related to Bhandal or discuss them on talk pages, I suggest you stop asap and try to stick to using only one account per WP:MULTIPLE. Using multiple accounts in an inappropriate way (even if you mean well) may be seen as an attempt to circumvent relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines by Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry and is not going to be allowed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:04, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
