How to add stuff to wikipedia

- 1) For legal reasons, we have to be very proactive on
copyright violations. - 2) You can’t license the use of copyrighted
material on Wikipedia; only the copyright owners can do that. - 3) This
article would probably have been deleted anyway, as being about an non-notable organization; see WP:GROUP. - 4) Since you have a relationship with this organization, you probably
shouldn’t be editing any articles about them anyway, under our restrictions on edits by persons with conflicts of interest. –Orange Mike | Talk 14:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- Information on copyright releases can be found here.
- As to the conflict-of-interest issue, the thing to do is first to
request that some impartial third party create an article, a thing done
here. - If an editor agrees that the organization passes muster under WP:GROUP, and an article is
created, then COI persons would make suggestions on the talk page of
the article, and other editors would take up the suggestions they found
most useful. - (I’d advise you to clarify the relationship between OPA,
the WWF, etc., because I was having trouble figuring it out from the
pages.)
