  Hello Babyallis, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Johnny Depp have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.


Ok, thanks

I would also like to take the opportunity to ask about the structure that presents the part about the family life of Johnny Depp. He seems a bit biased and cites a lot of questions about the divorce dispute that seem to me unnecessary, as they only show what each party said, since there was no legal dispute, so we are only showing the media dispute, the format seems to be very close to the tabloids. So I suggest clearing up a bit of excess information about divorce
Thanks again for your time Babyallis (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2017 (UTC)BabyallisReply

First of all, thanks for the revised addition. It looks much better.
Celebrity articles tend to be cesspools. It's very hard to keep out gossip and unreliably-sourced trivia, and bias can creep into sections or even entire articles. It's okay to be bold and either change or remove content, as long as you follow core policies (e.g., WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, WP:BLP), explain what you're doing (always use edit summaries and open a new thread on the talk page if you need to say more), and don't edit war. Alternatively, you can start a discussion on the talk page first, to let other editors know of your concerns with the article. I have to admit I haven't been watching the Depp article very closely.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Babyallis. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Johnny Depp, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Your edits to the Depp article are promotional in nature. This notice is not an accusation but information for you to read and see if it applies to you. Stevie is the man!

Thank you for taking your time to instruct me on which model to follow and learn more about the policies.

I don't have any relationship with Mr Depp or with any of the people or companies cited in my editions. I just try to cite the names of the people involved in the projects and make a brief synopsis of the films.

My job is health, I'm a doctor.

I would also like to ask you for guidance to change the format of Mr. Depp's family life.

If you read the part of the divorce, you will see that it is too much, she said and he said, sounding like a tabloid. I think a lot of information can be reduced. Since there was no legal proof of the facts either of one party or the other. And the wiki's character is purely informative in a format with reliable and neutral sources
Thanks

Thank you for responding. As for what content is kept, the most important policies with regard to a biography of a living person are WP:RS and WP:BLP. Content being backed up by reliable sources is the most important objective. After those considerations, we look at WP:WEIGHT and WP:NPOV in general. I encourage you to read these policies.

Thanks
There are still two more Depp's future roles to be upgraded. My time for this is very limited but I will try to be very concise.

And I will read the policies and see how to be concise also in the part about family.

thanks
