Orphaned non-free media (File:Louisiana Bucket Brigade Logo.jpg)
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Louisiana Bucket Brigade Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:22, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Copyright issues in Louisiana Bucket Brigade
[edit]Hello. Some of the content you added to Louisiana Bucket Brigade has had to be removed. As the tag that was placed on the article in March by another contributor advised, it was too closely paraphrased from its source. The material was derivative of: http://www.labucketbrigade.org/article.php?list=type&type=157. For example, the source says:
Working closely with Ed Masry, Denny Larson of Communities for a Better Environment, now director of Global Community Monitor, promoted the use of the buckets in other communities exposed to toxic air emissions. Larson produced a community manual to educate fenceline neighbors on how to build and operate their own buckets. The manual helped spread the buckets throughout the refinery belt of Contra Costa County in California, and eventually to Louisiana.

To help make the issue more evident, I have bolded content that is precisely duplicated. This makes it easier to see that the material in this example is pasted almost verbatim, with only a few words altered.
Other material took language and structure from the source, and the whole section has been removed to permit rewriting.
Material may be restored if it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)
Otherwise, Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for writing this content from scratch so as not to create a derivative work.
Wikipedia:Copy-paste is a good general overview of our copyright practices.
For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:50, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
