Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 72.229.19.194. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Louisa Krause, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. General Ization ^Talk 04:13, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Louisa Krause images

We appreciate you'd prefer newer images, but we can't just use the images on IMDB or others you suggest because they're copyrighted. Images on Wikipedia, need to be freely editable and reusable, like the rest of Wikipedia, so we can't just grab any we like off the Web. If you are Louisa Krause, or an associate of hers, that should be easy - take a digital camera or modern smart phone, ask her to smile, and put the result on a web page that is known to be yours .... I think there is an official Louisa Krause Twitter account? ... with accompanying text like this "I'm (Louisa Krause/Amy Smith her publicity agent/Bob Jones her third cousin's hairdresser's best friend), I own the rights to this image, and release it under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/". If you also write where and when you took it, that would be nice but not strictly necessary. But it does have to be your image, meaning either you took it or the person who took it officially signed over the rights to you; you can't just use an image from a magazine, that's owned by the magazine, or a publicity shoot unless the agreement for the publicity shoot includes giving you the rights. Otherwise the person who took the image has to make a statement like that. OK? When you do that, you can put the URL to that image and release on the article talk page Talk:Louisa Krause (or my user talk page User talk:GRuban), and I or someone else will be happy to do the technical work of uploading. (Or you can do it yourself, if you aren't afraid of filling out a few web forms.)

You can also email the image and release statement to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, but that could take time, months even, and they might need to write back and ask for proof that you are who you say you are, especially if you aren't emailing from an address known to be owned by you. Web page is usually easier.

Thank you for your contribution! --GRuban (talk) 18:10, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
