Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Calebvonschloer, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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. Moxy 🍁 04:23, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quezon quote inserted into the Emilio Aguinaldo article

That's an interesting quote, but I've reverted its insertion here. I don't think it fits where you inserted it, or in the Emilio Aguinaldo article at all. Please discuss on the talk page of that article if you disagree. I think that quote would be more on-topic and better placed in the Manuel L. Quezon article.

You are removing this because you want to deny the fact that he is an antisemite and a traitor to Philippine ideals. Calebvonschloer (talk) 00:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably so, in your mind I think that asserting that without explaining how you came to such an apparently ill-informed decision is equivalent to calling me a racist and (to use a currently popular form of ad-hominim attack) a white-supremecist. Please read WP:CIVIL.

I've re-read the quote here, and I still don't see how it fits into that article. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 14:48, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited José Padilla Sr., you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Spanish and American. 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) 09:18, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pelagio López moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Pelagio López. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources, it needs more sources to establish notability and Requires more material written in Wikipedia's style. I should not need to click on a link to find out what country the person is from.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 10:55, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pelagio López (March 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drmies 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

There is no inherent notability in the man's position/work, and why would anyone submit an article that lacks any secondary sourcing.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Pelagio López and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Hello, Calebvonschloer! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Drmies (talk) 01:21, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Calebvonschloer, there is nothing in this edit that makes the article any better. Please read WP:RS, and play by the rules of the project. Drmies (talk) 01:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
