Wikipedia and copyright

Hello PrateekKumarDas, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research 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. (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. Muhandes (talk) 12:14, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

April 2019

Hello, I'm Muhandes. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 12:17, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Muhandes, I’m a very old Wikipedia user but a noob at editing Wikipedia articles. Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research happens to be my own medical college. Sorry that I missed out your message for 2 years. I’d be happy if you revert the changes you made in my article and I’d love to cite the references. As I already mentioned that I’m new to Wikipedia editing, any article or video detailing the citation process is welcomed. Thank you. I hope you hear me.

The message I left you above includes links to some guidelines and tutorials. At the same time I will ask you to read the message below about conflict of interests. --Muhandes (talk) 01:34, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I got you now. I can’t edit my own college’s Wikipedia article rather suggest the changes in the talk page. I’m happy to comply with you. My college is a government run Medical college and I have no profit by editing. All the changes I made in the article can be linked with the official site of the government and the college. Please elaborate what I might need to do in-order to revert the changes you made or sending my suggestions in the talk page of the article. I won’t disturb you much but a step by step explanation is what I need now.

Thank you again.PrateekKumarDas (talk) 10:56, 18 January 2021 (UTC) PrateekKumarDas (talk) 10:56, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Use the guidelines provided below. Namely, use the {{request edit}} template on the talk pages of affected articles (i.e. Talk:Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research) to make a suggested edit. I do not watch that page anymore so another editor will most likely attend to that request. --Muhandes (talk) 16:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, PrateekKumarDas. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 01:35, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 14:10, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Muhandes, I saw the article the image is still present in the college article. Is there any problem? PrateekKumarDas (talk) PrateekKumarDas (talk) 14:20, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all. I replaced the .jpg image with a .png image which has transparent background, so the old .jpg one will be removed. This was just an automated version letting you know that it happened. --Muhandes (talk) 14:22, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
