For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

Welcome!

Hello, גיא נתיב, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Guy Nattiv, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

@Diannaa, Moneytrees, and Materialscientist: For what it's worth, I find it highly likely that this is not a case of copyvio but rather a person with conflicts of interest feeling unrealistic and unwarranted ownership of the article about him, given the username is the subject's name in the original Hebrew, the IMDb biography is credited to "Guy Nattiv", and he's all the account has edited about. I'm not advocating for an unblock or undeletion (as the material has no proof of having been authored by the user under a CC-BY-SA3.0/GFDL-compliant license); just noting that the problem seems to extend beyond what you have identified.

I don't know what problem he has with the current picture though. And for someone who ostensibly earns a living from intellectual property, the user has quite a poor understanding of copyright—by that logic Jamie Bell should own his movie (which might be evidence it is not the subject's account; either way {{uw-ublock-wellknown}} may apply).
