Copyright problem: Bollywood films of 2011

Your addition to Bollywood films of 2011 has had to be removed, as I'm afraid that it is inconsistent with the advice of the Wikimedia Foundation attorney for dealing with the copyrighted list by Box Office India. As you are a new contributor, it's very likely that you aren't aware of this issue, but we do ask that you try to keep an eye out for notices. In this case, the article contains a note when you edit it that says:

Attention

For copyright concerns, pursuant to advice from the Wikimedia Foundation attorney, Wikipedia is not able to utilize lists of film grosses created by Box Office India, until permission is provided to the Wikimedia Foundation of permission by Box Office India. Please do not add lists of top grossing films to this article. They must be removed. Thank you.

There is also a note visible when you edit the section - which you must have seen, as you removed it - which says:
======================== COPYRIGHT WARNING ============================

| PURSUANT TO ADVICE FROM THE WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION'S ATTORNEY         |
| we are not able to include a list of top grossing films here        |

| Please do not add this list, as it may result in the page being     |

======================= COPYRIGHT WARNING =============================

Please do not restore the list. We are not able to use it, as Box Office India has so far refused to grant permission. If you restore this content, it may be necessary to block this account. We welcome your contributions, but must ask you to comply with Wikipedia's copyright policies. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:47, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

November 2011

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You were told above why we do not have the list of top grossing films and cautioned that restoring the list would result in the block of your account. Please do not put the list back into the article again, as it may result in the permanent block of your account. Our attorney says we may not use it. Unless that changes, the list cannot be included in the article. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
