Copyright problem on Uta Ibrahimi
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights.

Request for help with editing the page Uta Ibrahimi
editHello Diana, I am fairly new on the Wikipedia editing process. I am attempting to update the Bio for Uta Ibrahimi, and I have her permission to use content that she has already published on her uebsite. However, I am not entirely certain as to how to proceed with adding the content, because earlier it was removed based on the copyright issues. Also there are meny external media links that I'd like to add to the article, for referencing. If you could give me a little bit more information as to how I should proceed I would greatly appreciate it. Also, is there any way I can confirm that I already have the permission to use content created by Uta Ibrahimi?

LiridoneDemaj, we need to have documentation that shows the copyright holders have given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose. Please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. As an alternative, you could re-write the material using your own words. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
