User talk:Diegoduey

Welcome!

Hello, Diegoduey, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Spanish; did you know there is a Spanish Wikipedia? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! If you need help, please feel free to notify me on my talk page. Erick (talk) 20:19, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

¡Bienvenido!

¡Hola Diegoduey, bienvenido a Wikipedia! Si bien todos los esfuerzos para mejorar la Wikipedia son bien recibidos, su nivel de inglés no parece idóneo para hacer contribuciones de utilidad. ¿Sabía que existe una Wikipedia en español? Quizás prefiera contribuir ahí. De cualquier forma reciba la más cordial bienvenida a Wikipedia y nuestro agradecimiento por esforzarse. Si necesita ayuda, puede notificármelo en mi página de discusión. Erick (talk) 20:19, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Diegoduey, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Talk:Music of Puerto Rico has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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. Even if the text was taken from your own blog. We still cannot accept the text for three reasons: 1) It's not written in English. This is the English Wikipedia and is the language we use for all articles. Use the Spanish Wikipedia if you wish to contribute in that language. 2) That's a copyrighted site. You will need to show proof that's not only your own, but release a statement declaring a public statement. 3) Wikipedia only accepts sources that are considered to be reliable. Original research is not allowed on Wikipedia. Everything must come from a reliable source. Thank you. Erick (talk) 20:28, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
