Wikipedia and copyright

Peace and Salutations to all.

This declaration is being entered for the purpose of shedding some light on the recent chain of unnecessary editorial action applied to the newly formed, cited, sourced and certified James Dubose wikipedia article, as well as other wikipedia articles representative of the body-of-work contributed by James DuBose -- all of which evidently display consistencies of mal-editorialism, including but not limited to inaccurate data and/or wrongful omission of relevant, citable fact ... specific to James DuBose, DuBose Entertainment, DuBose Media Group, and the likes thereof. Real2Reel 04:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

This declaration is formally detailed to the best of our knowledge and findings, concerning the article James DuBose Real2Reel 04:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Over the past week, it has come to our attention that multiple occurrences of a disruptive nature have taken place -- specific to the subject James DuBose.

Details, outlined as we know them:

• the statements''"married to Charlene DuBose", "daughters" "wife Charlene" were fragments that were applied and re-applied.
• Each time such statements were removed, they would be added again.
• the subject James DuBose is a Living Person
• the subject James DuBose is viewed by the public eye as a "famous" fugure -- but due to the nature of the subject's role, his place is that which is behind-the-scenes
• we do not believe it to be necessary to note names to identify individuals who may have personal ties to the subject, within the article about the subject
• we do not believe it to be necessary gender of the subject's children, within the article about the subject
• we believe it is necessary to note that which is relevant and/or that which credited
• we believe relevant persons to note would be persons associated with collaborative works shared with the subject (in this case, James DuBose)

Over the past week, there have been multiple incidents where both the age and year of birth was altered in the article James DuBose.

• each time the error was addressed, the age and year would be altered again
• this happened over three consecutive days

With regard to the role of executive producer which James DuBose serves for the E! Networks WAGS franchise:

• the WAGS wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGS_(TV_series) was the page initially linked to the notable works sections of the James DuBose article
• since then, the WAGS link was removed and link leading to a 'WAGS Atlanta' wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGS_Atlanta?veaction=edit shttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGS_(TV_series) was entered as a replacement
• at time of the initial link connecting the James DuBose and the WAGS article the (newly discovered) WAGS Atlanta page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGS_Atlanta?veaction=edit did not exist
• the recent, suspicious creation of the WAGS Atlanta wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGS_Atlanta?veaction=edit presents redundancy
• WAGS Atlanta is a subsidiary branch of the WAGS E! Networks franchise (reported on May 4th by Deadline Hollywood) http://deadline.com/2017/05/e-wags-atlanta-wags-la-miami-premiere-date-1202083917/ -- with rightful credit to made to James DuBose and Amber Mazzola as executive producers of the show
• we found that the bulk of reports announcing the upcoming fall 2017 premiere of WAGS Atalanta on E! evidently share the commonality of refraining from naming the executive producers James DuBose and Amber Mazzola of the show, while noting the names of other persons involved in production of the show
• To be clear, the WAGS wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGS_(TV_series) details WAGS: Los Angeles, WAGS: Miami and WAGS: Atlanta

• James DuBose served as executive producer for the feature documentary TREY SONGZ: MY MOMENT
• http://www.vibe.com/2010/12/russell-block-spencer-readies-first-film-and-reality-tv-show/

From our findings ---

• though it appears that a TREY SONGZ: MY MOMENT Wikipedia page does exist, according to a recent google search
• this is something we just discovered, as we did search for such a page and didn't not locate it, sparking our intention return to create a page to represent the Trey Songz: My Moment production and any other associated data requiring digitization
• but there is a wiki page for the Trey Songz: My Moment television production (although it's not the greatest page, it does exist and can be revised with diligence)
• Here's the thing: we can't seem to access that page
• CAN SOMEONE SAY "DIGITAL PRINTS!?!" DON'T BELIEVE ME? JUST ASK RICHARD BRANSON, who made that hopeful digital declaration back in 2009
• The page link currently in place (or since last check, rather) ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trey_Songz?veaction=edit&section=13 ... reveals (Trey Songz: My Moment) is the only "Film" listing which does not link to anything
• we have screenshot evidence of this

These are some other Wikipedia articles representative of the works of James DuBose which we found to present inaccuracies:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyshia_Cole:_The_Way_It_Is?veaction=edit
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyshia_Cole:_All_In
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_%26_Neffe -- "Warning: Default sort key "James DuBose" overrides earlier default sort key "Frankie and Neffe"."
• can someone kindly elaborate on what "overrides earlier default sort key" means, please?
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyshia_%26_Daniel:_Family_First
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica:_Still_Standing
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_and_Toya
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComicView

With regard to the articles listed, and the likes thereof, our initial findings uncovered the following:

• each article was failed to make any mention of executive producer James DuBose and/or claiming the starring celebrity was sole executive producer of the series
• once we took measures to right the wrongs, our edits were altered
• a malicious nature has clearly revealed itself

Now, we kindly enter the following request: Please advise us with the best next steps to take as we aim to conserve time to ensure more time for production as the incidents provided and detailed to the best of our ability is a situation which is causes a chain reaction, directly affecting each member of one team. Let us recognize and respect the cause of action, a fact which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (PBUH) so eloquently stated:

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

In conclusion, concerning the details discovered and raised within this declaration, the recent chain of suspicious edits made to the newly formed James DuBose article -- which seem to reveal an apparent agenda aimed at hindering the rightful digitization of James DuBose data ... including but not limited to Mr. DuBose's notable contributions made to Television and Film over a 20-year period of time ... not to mention ... Mr. DuBose current and evolving body-of-works in progress and works being manifested. Specifically, Mr. DuBose's sourced and certifiably documented present role to service as executive producer for E! Networks WAGS franchise -- a prime example of what's now in motion ...

That being said, it is only right and fitting to further note the following fact:

During the creation of the article James DuBose ... we held the pure intent of rightfully notating the recent and relevant fact of Mr. DuBose's role serving as an executive producer for a film project, calling for collaboration with Damon Dash. But despite our best efforts and a sum of consecutive days dedicated to finding a credible attribution article to source, we couldn't find even a basic blog posting the Dame Dash -- James DuBose soon-to-be-released film "Honor Up".

For the record -- the calling for Mr. DuBose to join the film project, came after the Damon Dash -- Kanye West collaborative film production "Too Honorable" failed. "Dame needs an intervention": https://boxden.com/showthread.php?t=2381336 Following the fizzle, Mr. DuBose was called in to do damage control ... We can confirm Mr. DuBose's acting role in that mission proved to "give life" to a dead film. Moreover, we can assure U that is a fact which will be widely reported by major network news outlets.

Any any all dishonorable action taken to discredit the works of any person (living or deceased) .... and, any and all character 'smear' campaigns uncovered and deemed to be initiate against not only Mr. DuBose but all persons (living and deceased) ... will be exposed and reported. SUCH IS TIME.

We The People stand together and we will achieve the i Dream prophetic profession announced by the MLK.

If you're with US, WE NEED U!

Hello Real2Reel, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to James DuBose 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 08:52, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Peace and Salutations Diannaa, Thank U for your most valued contributions made to that which we respectfully call "The Internet of Things." Your perspective and opinion is helpful for it invites one to carefully consider how some may compute and/or construe data which is carefully and diligently researched, cited and -- therefore -- attributed, indeed. With all due respect, kindly consider the fact that "double quotations" were, are, will, rightfully and applicably inserted where required. Fair and just contemplation is humbly requested by all regarding -- not only the subject at the center of this entry -- but all entries. For we are all in service here ... we are all learning ... and we all (hopefully) have good to offer. In the matter of this particular subject, can we not all agree upon that which is clearly evident by considering the facts being attributions pointing to nationally-recognized (if not, internationally recognized) articulated public record about the subject. More specifically, the distinguished likes of historically-credible news organizations including: The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post"  ; as well as widely-regarded entertainment industry staples including "The Hollywood Reporter", "Variety" and "Billboard Magazine". For the record, by considering the fact, one would justly, and reasonably conclude that the weight of evidence rightfully provided, and publicly entered, stand as solid supporting proof of the subject's influential role and societal impact embedded by way of widely recorded contributions ... that which we can fairly and justly conclude as being content worthy of being consolidated as data which is readily available for all. With regard to the above critic which apparently eludes to an accusation of "plagiarism", allow me to humbly respond by stating the fact that my 10,000+ hours of journalistic experience, indeed, has evidently embedded the practice of conveying common phrases widely and regularly used by "newies" to convey info/findings/etc. For example, consider how many times you may have heard a television news report -- whether it be the local news, national news, international news, on any network, conveyed by any news person -- state, "we'll bring you more on this story as it unfolds" ... OR ... "details remain sketchy at this time, but here's what we do know" ... OR ... John is live from the courthouse to bring us more on the latest, John? ... these are just a few phrases commonly used by "newsies", which first come to mind. Please accept my sincere gratitude of thanks, Diannaa, for your Time dedicated ... and for all that you contribute to US. I hope and look forward to a future of collaborations over the documentation of, not only this subject ... but various other relevant persons/places/happenings of these Times ... as part of our human service dedicated to chronicling these Times. Although I remain confident in the thorough level of my research, and my ability to respectfully report the facts, please consider my presence on this platform is new and therefore I am still learning the technical aspects of this communal. Looking forward to merging minds on how to move forward peacefully, leaving everyone at the table 'happy'. THANK U, MicheleReal2Reel (talk) 04:23, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Maxwell Billieon. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Marianna251TALK 15:57, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

To be clear, the peacock language of the article refers to phrases like "the much-talked-about new book", "The widely anticipated read", "Billion's published declaration revealing his premier public position", " relationship expertise", "A premier expert on the subject of infidelity, Billieon's book, “The Six Virtues of the New Man,” have led countless men and women to having monogamy-capable relationships", etc. These don't follow the neutral, factual tone expected of an encyclopaedia. Marianna251TALK 16:01, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Peace and Salutations, Marianna251TALK Thank U for your valued feedback. To be crystal clear, despite the facts being that -- for the most part -- the phrases you've raised (including: "the much-talked-about new book" ; " relationship expertise"; "A premier expert on the subject of infidelity, Billieon's book, “The Six Virtues of the New Man,” have led countless men and women to having monogamy-capable relationships" are statements and/or ideals widely reported by the collective press, as well as the likes of Dr. Drew and the network television production team responsible for Million Dollar Matchmaker (please feel free to check out sources/references/citations provided in the References section of the article) ... BUT we can see how and/or why readers may hold a comparable view to that which you have noted as being perceived. That's why we have since addressed the phrases you've brought to our attention. Thank U Namaste Real2Reel 17:19, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the changes you've made to the article. FYI, you should probably read WP:NOT, particularly the section WP:NOTPROMO. These explain that Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion. While the statements listed may have been stated in the media, they are clearly promoting the subject and therefore are not appropriate for an encyclopaedia. To quote WP:IMPARTIAL, "Wikipedia describes disputes. Wikipedia does not engage in disputes." This includes positive coverage - we can describe positive reactions, but not engage in them. I appreciate that your background seems to be in journalism and the media, but Wikipedia is not a journalistic platform and journalistic-style entries are not appropriate. Hope that helps.
