September 2020

Hello Meetertound, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Dance Monkey have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.

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. 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.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
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.
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. — Blablubbs ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:08, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Meetertound, please note that song lyrics are also copyrighted material in most cases and can hence not be uploaded to Wikipedia without clear evidence that the copyright has expired. — Blablubbs ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:11, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't know that because clearly lyric websites have the right to display them and it's insightful to Wikipedia as it highlights content of the article subject. I'll refrain from such additions from now on. Meetertound (talk) 21:13, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Going My Way, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Musical. 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) 09:27, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia. Larry Hockett (Talk) 07:07, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for contravening Wikipedia's harassment policy.

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 ~~~~}}. Lofty abyss 07:10, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Tickle U

Hello, Meetertound. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Tickle U, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:01, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Tickle U

Hello, Meetertound. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tickle U".

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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:43, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
