This isn't copyrighted material and was supplied by the owner of the material anyway. Kps2015 (talk) 21:24, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kps2015:

How did you verify that it was the owner that supplied the material?
The material not only appeared to be violating, but also wasn't compliant with neutrality guidelines.

Thanks for your response.

How can I demonstrate that the owner supplied the material?

Starting with the first sentence that you deleted, how does the following statement violate neutrality guidelines?:

"Centenary Action is a membership organisation which campaigns for a gender equal parliament by 2028 and broader women's suffrage in the United Kingdom."

Do you really believe that this statement contains copyright material? Kps2015 (talk) 08:57, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should say that the owner of the material (Centenary Action) gave me the information and asked me to create a Wikipedia page! Kps2015 (talk) 11:14, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kps2015:

First things first, since you were asked to do this, you need to declare a conflict of interest on your user page, per our best practices. If you're being paid to do this, it goes beyond best practices; you need to declare the conflict of interest, and that fact that you're getting paid, per the terms of use of the website.
If Centenary Action is okay with the article being printed out and sold with the copyrighted material contained within it by someone not affiliated with Centenary Action, and they're also okay with the material being changed by people not authorized by them to do so, they can arrange a donation at donatewikimedia.org. I doubt they'll be okay with this.
While I'm not going to go through the labor of going through this line by line with you (please read up on our neutrality policies), admittedly, that specific line is fine.

Sourcing

Linking a statement to an external site does not constitute referencing it properly - especially if the external site doesn't support the statement.

The two sections on "Campaign successes" and "Media coverage" need to be rewritten so that they show statements supported by references to reliable independent published sources which support those statements. PamD 13:00, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
