Copyright

It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.JBW (talk) 15:46, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi James,

I tried to always change the wording for chunks that I started out by copying and if not I put it in quotes and cited it. Is there any way I can go back in and modify the draft to try to remove the copyright issues? I figured if I made any oversteps or errors it would be flagged for modification and not just straight up deleted...

Thank you for your help,

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rodney Lister (November 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Timtrent were:

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.

This submission is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so your great list in the first para of "Biography" is displeasing. It;s also lazy writing. You gave references, to use what they say, marshal them into a storyboard, and, in your own words, write what they say Same problem in the second para in "Teaching career"

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:Rodney Lister 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.

November 2023

Your edit to Draft:Rodney Lister has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.
I very nearly asked for the entire draft to be deleted, there was so much scraped from other websites. It is not as if JBW had not warned you on 27 June 2023. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:52, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
