Existing copyright violations[edit]
One of your recent edits has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

- Can you cite the specific instances where copyright was violated? I have added factual information on the institution complete with links and citations to back up the same - in my own words, nothing copied from anywhere. If anything, the existing text is very problematic and needs serious work - which is what I was doing with my contribution. There are whole sections there that, as they currently are, have been lifted in their entirety from other publications with no credit to those. And lots of unverifiable information without any backing as well, which is what I was trying to rectify. Moedit (talk) 12:07, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- My apologies; the text that I noticed was copyrighted was already there before you made your edits. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:26, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Moedit. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Paul Otula, 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. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:56, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- I am not in any way connected to the subject. I just started researching on them after reading a recent news piece and realizing they had no active Wikipedia profile despite their prominence in the country (Kenya). Moedit (talk) 20:33, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
