Ways to improve Gozo College Boys' Secondary School

Hi, I'm Boleyn. HasanK, thanks for creating Gozo College Boys' Secondary School!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your references. This topic looks notable, but without multiple clear sources, it is likely to be tagged for deletion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Proposed deletion of Maltese nationalism

The article Maltese nationalism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Mere tautological dictionary definition with no sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Volt Europa

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Volt Europa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello HasanK, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Democratic Party (Malta) have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and 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 the 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 legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. RA0808 ^talk _contribs 16:26, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Greens (Poland), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Energy efficiency, Church and Exclusion (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:11, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve 2019 Maltese presidential election

Hello, HasanK,

Thanks for creating 2019 Maltese presidential election! I edit here too, under the username Boleyn and it's nice to meet you :-)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pulse (Malta)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pulse (Malta) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.ksu.org.mt/index.php/representation/student-organisations/56-pulse. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:55, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You've been cautioned about copyright. You've had an article deleted for copyright violation and yet you've created another version of the article at Pulse Social Democratic Students (Malta) and copied from ksu.org.mt again : "to voice their opinions on a number of issues ranging from migration to LGBT blood donation". Do you need this spelling out any more clearly? Don't copy text from other websites. Use your own words. Last warning. Cabayi (talk) 16:14, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Cami Appelgren

Hello, HasanK,

Thanks for creating Cami Appelgren! I edit here too, under the username Balon Greyjoy and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

I do't believe that Cami Appelgren meets the requisite notability requirements, per WP:POLOUTCOMES. As far as I can tell, she is a candidate for a minor party in Malta, and has not achieved sufficient prior notability for her environmental activism.

Ways to improve Piotr Ibrahim Kalwas

Hello, HasanK,

Thanks for creating Piotr Ibrahim Kalwas! I edit here too, under the username Balon Greyjoy and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

HasanK lists Piotr Ibrahim Kalwas as his father on his user page, and is the main author of this article, which violated WP:CIO. Additionally, I am unsure of the notability of Mr. Kalwas. I cannot read any of the sources to get further insight, but as far as the article shows, Mr. Kalwas has not written a book or received an award notable enough for its own Wikipedia article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Balon Greyjoy}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Proposed deletion of Grzegorz Lindenberg

The article Grzegorz Lindenberg has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Andrea Venzon moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Andrea Venzon, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Copyright problem: Ministry for Gozo

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Ministry for Gozo, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images from either web sites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://mgoz.gov.mt/en/Pages/Mission-Statement.aspx https://issuu.com/mygozo/docs/binder1, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License (CC BY-SA 3.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:Ministry for Gozo and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, Ministry for Gozo, in their email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Ministry for Gozo. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:Ministry for Gozo with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Ministry for Gozo saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:21, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've also blanked and listed Malta–Gozo tunnel for the same reasons – extensive word-for-word copying from the sources. With Marvin Formosa, that makes three articles in the last few days where you have copied copyrighted material into Wikipedia; please don't do so again – you risk being suspended from editing without further warning if you do. Everything that you write in Wikipedia must (with a few rare exceptions) be entirely in your own words. If you have questions please ask them here on this page, or see the invitation below. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:42, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers:

Hello, apologizes for the copyright violation I had done, I will try my best for such actions never to happen again. I have created a new article of the Malta-Gozo Tunnel, as I believe the copyright violation couldn't be cleanly removed. Thanks, HasanK 16:36, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello! HasanK, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse. It's a good place to meet people, ask questions and learn more about Wikipedia. Please give it a try! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:42, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2019

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission, as you did at Malta in the European Union. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:54, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I find this extremely disappointing – I've just blanked Malta in the European Union because most of the content was copied from external sources which as far as I can see are not suitably licensed for re-use in Wikipedia (if I'm wrong about that please say so at once). Since I've already warned you about copyright violations – a warning I thought you had understood and taken to heart – I can see no alternative to blocking your account. To be unblocked, you'll need to show that you understand why you were blocked, and explain how you will avoid further problems of the same kind. You are welcome to make useful contributions to the project, but you can't be allowed to make edits that are against policy. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:04, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

HasanK (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would like to apologize for my copyright violations in the articles of Malta–Gozo tunnel, Ministry for Gozo and Malta in the European Union. I admit that that I have committed these copyright incidents and I promise never to do them again. I would like one more chance of editing in the Wikipedia, and if I was found guilty of yet another act of copyright, then you may block me from editing forever on Wikipedia on this account. Thanks!

Decline reason:

I must decline your request. You have not done as Justlettersandnumbers asked above. As copyright violations can potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we cannot unblock you until you demonstrate your understanding of what a copyright violation is(you might find this FAQ page helpful). 331dot (talk) 19:42, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

HasanK (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have read the Copyright FAQ page, and I firmly read and understood the article, and most importantly that copyright is the right that the producer of a creative work has been granted to prevent others from copying it. For the sake of not putting Wikipedia into legal jeopardies, I will stop copyright violations from now on.

Decline reason:

In order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. To allow the reviewing administrator to assess your understanding, please respond to the following questions in your next unblock appeal, explaining in your own words:

What is copyright?
How is Wikipedia licenced?
Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?
How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. Yunshui ^雲 _水 22:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HasanK (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have read the pages the users above me have inserted, and here's what I understood: Copyright is the right that the maker of a certain valued work has been allowed to keep others from replicating it. Wikipedia is licensed under the "Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike 3.0 Unported License", which states that you are free to share and adapt material as long as you give credit, show if certain changes were done and insert a link to the license. Copyright content is not allowed on Wikipedia because Wikipedia tries its best for the original author to get good reward for his work. If copyright is violated, then Wikipedia can be brought into legal queries by the author of the work or even the government. We can use copyrighted content only if we want to copy a short amount of something, like a sentence or one image, without any permission. That is called "fair use". I intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future by regularly reading and re-reading known articles and guides related to copyright on Wikipedia and on other sources and books, and the affects that can happen to someone or an organization if the latter violates the copyright policies.

Decline reason:

You were unable or unwilling to fully account for your copyright violations. As such, I have little choice but to reject your unblock request. Yamla (talk) 11:49, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

@Justlettersandnumbers: As copyright explanations go, this isn't perfect but it's one of the better ones I've seen. I'd like to consider unblocking this user with a warning that any further violations of copyright or fair use would result in an immediate and essentially permanent reblock. This is the last chance, given the previous violations. Justlettersandnumbers, you are the blocking admin. What are your thoughts? --Yamla (talk) 11:55, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Yamla, I agree. I'd like the user to be unblocked – he's made useful contributions – but would suggest setting a further condition: that he go through all past contributions and list here, on this page, any of them where any content was copied word-for-word from the sources. Could you do that, HasanK, and give it priority over any other edits you may want to make? If so I'll be happy for any admin to remove the block.

Please note that we don't have any fair-use leeway for text unless it is clearly marked, formatted and attributed as a quotation. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:28, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers:

Great, thanks. From what I observed through my articles, most of the text in the Biography section of Piotr Ibrahim Kalwas was copied from the Ukrainian wikipedia article, https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Пьотр_Ібрагім_Кальвас. Lawrence Cutajar is also copied from the source: https://pulizija.gov.mt/en/police-force/Pages/Commissioner-of-Police.aspx. That's all from what I found. Thanks, HasanK

What about Ministry for Gozo? What about Cami Appelgren, which I just had to delete as a copyright violation? What about Malta–Gozo tunnel? What about ADŻ Green Youth? These are just the ones I looked at. Given that you did not notice those as copyright violations, I'm afraid I have to decline your unblock request. You have convinced me you do not yet understand copyright and how serious your violations are to Wikipedia. --Yamla (talk) 11:49, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that I had to put Malta-Gozo tunnel and Ministry for Gozo, considering that's the main reason why I was blocked and that you and Justlettersandnumbers had that marked already, and I didn't know ADZ Green Youth was copyrighted, considering I have changed the structure of the sentences and removed some copyrighted text when I was creating the page. User:HasanK

"I didn't know ADZ Green Youth was copyrighted, considering I have changed the structure of the sentences and removed some copyrighted text when I was creating the page". See, that's the problem. If you think that your contributions for ADZ Green Youth avoided a copyright violation, we simply can't unblock you. You directly copied and pasted content from here. Given that you think that's okay, we'd be placing the entire Wikipedia project in legal jeopardy if we unblocked you. This is my final response to you. I have reviewed your unblock request and determined it would be inappropriate to unblock you. Please don't ping me again. You are, however, welcome to reread WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE and request another block review from a different administrator. That would stand a chance of success if you can clearly explain why these contributions were inappropriate. --Yamla (talk) 12:20, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I admit to my copyright strikes; most of the text in the Biography section of Piotr Ibrahim Kalwas was copied from the Ukrainian wikipedia article, https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Пьотр_Ібрагім_Кальвас. Lawrence Cutajar is also copied from the source: https://pulizija.gov.mt/en/police-force/Pages/Commissioner-of-Police.aspx, and so is Ministry for Gozo, lots of stuff in Malta-Gozo tunnel and ADŻ Green Youth. I'm truly sorry for my copyright strikes and I promise I won't ever do them again and I would carefully give the proper information without violating any copyright policies. Thanks, HasanK

Accept reason:

I will unblock you. Please understand that this is a "last chance" unblock; any more copyright problems will lead to an immediate reimposition of the block and it is unlikely to be lifted again. GoldenRing (talk) 09:32, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alfie Templeman moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Alfie Templeman, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your page to draft space (with a prefix of Draft: before the article title) where you can work on it with minimal disruption. When you feel that it meets our notability and neutrality requirements, and is thus ready for mainspace, please submit it using the Articles for Creation template on the page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:32, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I had to remove a sentence from it too – if this page says "his sister is a pianist and plays trumpet" then you just may not write in our article "his sister is a pianist and plays trumpet". This, while very brief, is exactly the sort of problem that you were blocked for before. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:43, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Even after the above warning from Justlettersandnumbers, you have continued to violate copyright, most recently on Conan Gray. You were warned when you were unblocked this morning that this was your last chance, that any further copyright violations would lead to you being reblocked. GoldenRing was very, very clear on this. As such, I have blocked you again indefinitely. We simply cannot allow you to continue blatantly violating copyright like this. We were incredibly clear on this. --Yamla (talk) 22:15, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 2019 Maltese presidential election

The article 2019 Maltese presidential election has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a non-entity: Malta's constitution does not stipulate an election, but a nomination and confirmation

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your draft article, Draft:Andrea Venzon

Hello, HasanK. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Andrea Venzon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Ə XPLICIT 06:28, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request to be unblocked

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

HasanK (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Greetings, it has been nearly 2 years since I was blocked on 15th May, 2019 for copyright infringement violations. I know that I have been indefinitely blocked after being unblocked for further violations, but it has been 2 years so I would like to sincerely apologise for my wrongdoing, and I would now abide by the rules and guidelines of Wikipedia. I would kindly request to be unblocked, if possible. Regards, HasanK (talk) 10:56, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It may have been awhile since you were blocked, but since copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we must be assured that you have an understanding of what copyright is, and when and how copyrighted content can be used on Wikipedia; see WP:COPYVIO. Please explain these things in your own words. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request to be unblocked upon having read Wikipedia's copyright policy

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

HasanK (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Under the request of 331dot, I read the Wikipedia copyright article (WP:COPYVIO), and now I'm more knowledgeable about the copyright policy of Wikipedia. I understood that copying material without the consent of the holder from sources that are not in the public domain is a copyright violation. Text (with some changes), and linking copyrighted material applies too, as this could result in plagiarism allegations. All of these issues could give legal issues for Wikipedia with matters addressed in court. This will harm the company's image, which no one in the company desires to happen. HasanK

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. Please only have one request open at a time. You are more than welcome to amend requests as appropriate (but not after they have been declined or accepted). TheSandDoctor ^Talk 19:10, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Which "company"? "No one in the company" refers to which people? Also, WP:COPYVIO is not an article. Could you do some research about what Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation are, what an "article" is, and re-write the appeal? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 10:41, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(I see that the decline message by 331dot may be unintentionally misleading in this regard, but I'd like to make sure that the absolute basics of how Wikipedia works are understood before an unblock happens.) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 10:44, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request to be unblocked upon having read further information about Wikipedia

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

HasanK (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Following ToBeFree request to further my research about Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation, I would like to clarify some points. In "company" - I was referring to the Wikimedia Foundation, although excuse my ignorance for thinking that Wikipedia is a company while it is a free collaborative encyclopedia, with Wikimedia Foundation as its owner, and for "No in the company"; I was referring to the staff and contractors of Wikimedia Foundation, and again, excuse me for making this unreferenced statement. Also, I have read Wikipedia:What is an article? page, and I understand that an "article" is a page that has encyclopedic information on it, therefore WP:COPYVIO is not considered an article because it is a help page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HasanK (talk • contribs) 5:20 am, Yesterday (UTC−7)

Accept reason:

You appear to have demonstrated knowledge of the copyright policy. I am going to accept your request for unblock; please don't make me regret it or give us enough WP:ROPE. Relapsing will result in going back to an indefinite block with it being rather unlikely you will get yet another chance. This is most likely your last chance to meaningfully contribute and become a productive editor. Please don't waste it. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 01:10, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree, Yamla, and 331dot: Pinging for FYI. Any objections? --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 19:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems perfectly fine now, thanks HasanK and TheSandDoctor; no objection to an unblock. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:17, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Same for me, no objection. 331dot (talk) 19:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would not unblock, given they previously had a second chance and immediately resumed copyright infringement. But no objection to you lifting the block, with the warning that, you know, we mean it this time. Even one more copyright infringement and they go back to an indefinite block. --Yamla (talk) 19:25, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree, Yamla, and 331dot: Unblocked per the above. HasanK has been put on notice that further relapse will result in a block with the outcome of being unblocked again rather unlikely. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 01:12, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: FreeHour (May 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:HasanK/FreeHour and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:HasanK/FreeHour, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Volt Malta moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Volt Malta, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)
