Avoiding copyright problems

Hello, and welcome. 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia: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.

• 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 if 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. --Cold Season (talk) 15:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Your addition to The Legal History of Chinese Americans will be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I request you to undo these copyright violations. --Cold Season (talk) 16:26, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Please don't remove listing at WP:CP or remove the copyright tags from pages

I noticed that you removed a listing from WP:CP. Please don't do this. A listing does not mean that there is a copyright problem, merely that another editor feels that there is evidence that there is. The listing does two things. It firstly gives you a chance to sort out permissions, as discussed above, if appropriate, and it also means an experienced copyright editor will investigate. You should also not be removing the {{copyviocore}} tags from pages. As the tag very clearly states that tag should only be removed by an administrator, copyright clerk or OTRS agent. It is also a good idea to respond to these concerns either on the talk page of the article in question or here. Continuing to remove copyright taggings and listing is likely to see you blocked. Due to the possible legal problems caused if we break copyright laws we take potential problems very seriously and so articles must remain blanked until they are investigated and this will only happen if they remain listed. For similar reasons continuing to introduce copyrighted material, if that is indeed what you are doing (I've not yet had a chance to check myself) will also see you blocked. Please take note of these messages on your talk page and respond to them. No one wants to block you but we will if it becomes necessary to protect the encyclopaedia.

LAST WARNING
