Thank you so much for your feedback. I went ahead and created a new draft based on your suggestions. How do I go about getting the page reviewed again? Should I build the article in sandbox and then submit? I'm not seeing any options other than publish. Thanks in advance! BedStuyResident (talk) 16:04, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Control copyright icon Hello BedStuyResident! 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. Liz Read! Talk! 06:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, Liz. Really appreciate the detailed feedback. I've updated the copy to avoid any copyright issues.
I'm still, however, confused on the best way to approach including the movie poster. I noticed in the article Little Richard: I Am Everything#/media/File:Little Richard I Am Everything.jpg the poster was uploaded as fair use and credited to IMBD. Is it not possible to do the same for my article using this:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16296326/mediaviewer/rm66333697/?ref_=tt_ov_i? I own the copyright for the image as Black-Owned Brooklyn, LLC.
Any guidance on this would be most helpful. Thank you in advance! BedStuyResident (talk) 16:15, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
