Conflict of interest

Hello, Gega.abuladze. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gagosh (street artist), you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;

• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Thanks AtticusX for your comment. I am new on Wikipedia. Generally, I intend to write about Georgian artists, Gagosh is my first article, soon I am going to write more about Georgian artists. I have a question, I added several images to my article and now I see they are deleted. I took these images from official website, I read wikipedia policy about it as well but I don't completely understand... how can I claim that I have permission from artist to upload his/her pictures? In this case, I got Gagosh pics from his official webpage and I got his verbal confirmation to use them, but as IO see it's not working in this way. So I wander, is it ok if artist uploads his/her artworks to wikipedia and then I can use them in my article? Thanks a lot AtticusX for your contribution Gega.abuladze (talk) 11:37, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gega.abuladze. Unfortunately, image use policy is not one of my areas of expertise on Wikipedia. I don't have much first-hand experience with uploading images so I wouldn't be the best one to advise you on how it's supposed to work. However, I believe the guidelines on how to establish that Wikipedia has an artist's permission to use their images are laid out most fully at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Read through the instructions on that page, and if you're still unsure, you can post a question at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, where editors who are more experienced with Wikipedia's image use policy will be able to advise you. I apologize for not being able to answer your question more fully. Cheers, AtticusX (talk) 14:30, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
