Thank you but...

[edit]

Thank you for creating pages about Holocaust survivors, etc. You may be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Jewish history or a related venue. But I am afraid I had to nominate all your picture contributions for deletion. You cannot upload pictures / photos / etc. by other people without their explicit permission to use a free license. Please read more at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:01, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For permission, you have to show it per WP:OTRS - this is, sadly, needed to prevent people from laying about it (I am not implying you are, just explaining why this hassle exists). Unlike Facebook or Google with their army of lawyers and billion dollar revenues, Wikipedia is a small non-profit and we all have to make sure we follow the law, because a few lawsuits could badly hurt the project's limited finances. If you have the emails with permission, send to them OTRS email, and make a note you have done so on the Wikimedia Commons deletion page. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:34, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello Vfverikaitis, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • 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 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 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. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — JJMC89(T·C) 19:37, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vfverikaitis (talk) 18:48, 17 March 2017 (UTC)I was questioned on the use of photographs I posted on Wikimedia commons...I believe this was not justified as I had permisssion from the authors/photogs...here is the first official waiver....the rest are forthcoming, so I expect all the photographs to be available for use as soon as possible...

Vfverikaitis I'd recommend you read through this, specifically the section about why we can't accept donated material from anyone other than the copyright holder. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:58, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
