Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, GerardPaulStula. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
• 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.

I had a look at your draft for Vratislav Stula. It is unlikely that he merits an article, as we depend on published sources to make that decision. The personal documents do not hold much sway here. We also strongly discourage memorial pages. Possibly (talk) 20:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC) Possibly (talk) 20:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I understand your critique. I will remove the images. Yes, Stula's WWII efforts to save Jews, refugees and allied Soldiers have few published locations and, due to the work being clandestine resistance rescues, few remaining sources exist. His efforts are published in The Hunted Children, Illinois University archives and in Aix-Marseille University. His University collaborated with these efforts, which is also published. He died over 50 years ago when I was five, so no prior relationship existed until the discovery on recent publications. Also, many wiki bio pages include text images labeled as Public Domain, i.e. Albert Einstein. The depicted text I've included are ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain, because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type. I should be allowed to use the CC0 code for these files, however I will remove the images. I will edit the bio one more time to add more content on Stula, which is also published in a book. After which, if the content does not stand on its own, and hope someone will find its merit for inclusion to Wikipedia and not block the content. Thank you again for the review.
