[edit]Thanks for uploading File:"Windows on the Bowery" placard from the Bowery Alliance's exhibition about 400 years on NYC's oldest street to highlight listing the Bowery in the National Register of Historic Places.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:05, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Mr. Guye (talk) 04:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)File permission problem with File:Jean-Pierre Boccara at the Lhasa.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Jean-Pierre Boccara at the Lhasa.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:43, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:Jean-Pierre Boccara at the Lhasa Club.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Jean-Pierre Boccara at the Lhasa Club.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Train2104 (t • c) 23:10, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Frederika Foster
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Frederika Foster, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Commanding officer. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:11, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Commander-in-chief. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I will check the links you sent. I found those links and the historical context they place the subject matter in helpful and think they flesh out the article more, but obviously must check the guidelines again. Thank you. (Ogmany (talk) 22:25, 13 February 2018 (UTC))
- The issue is, when you add links to the same blog across multiple articles it looks like spam. First, a blog fails WP:SPS; you have to look to see if the author merits a special exception. Second, adding an external link at the bottom of the article also screams spam. If you wanted to be helpful, you would be adding a variety of links as in-line citations. I add lots of links to articles but I add them as citations and they're never from the same website, save Google Books. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:35, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Role theory. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:08, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Animation detail, “Meme Machines," Ellen Levy.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Animation detail, “Meme Machines," Ellen Levy.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:05, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Ellen L
[edit]What I wrote at Ellen's Talk: Many of the references are to work written or created by Ellen Levy, or to shows in which she was one of many artists, with the only content being a list of names. Specifically, refs 21-25 are to things she wrote. Refs 8-10 are to multi-artist shows she was in. Ref 26 could be used to document the Education section, currently without any refs. Perhaps if there were fewer refs (not more) with attention to quality as defined by Wikipedia, then the question of notability will be more clearly addressed. I will add that referencing to what the person in question has written can be used to confirm fact - in this instance that Ellen Levy has written articles. But that in and of itself does not establish notability. Are there enough articles ABOUT HER to prove the answer? David notMD (talk) 09:32, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
- Now I get it. There were so many good articles by her, and there is a lot of press about her, that it got overwhelming to make choices. Will go back to the article with this in mind. Thank you.
- Will put most of the articles and books that I have in the footnotes in a selected biography and add some more interviews with her. That would improve the article according to the guidelines.Ogmany (talk) 15:07, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Image without license
[edit]Unspecified source/license for File:Gelek Rimpoche, black and white.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Gelek Rimpoche, black and white.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 17:45, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:Gelek Rimpoche, black and white.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gelek Rimpoche, black and white.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Please see my query on the article's talk page. Could you please include the exact wording of the source.
I should also mention that a paragaph on career starting with the latest position and going backwards is almost always a sign of promotional writing--is there any coi, or did you just adopt the wording of a source? DGG ( talk ) 08:36, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
As per your talk page query, and I will copy this exchange there also, "One of the first artists in the US appointed to a scientific unit at a university," this is meaningless-- does the source have the exact number, or is it only guessing?" - That is in the opening, introductory paragraph of the article. As per Wiki guidelines the writer can choose to footnote the introductory paragraph, or not, and put the specifics lower in the article. I choose to do the latter and have a footnote lower down in the article, under the new section you added, "Artistic Work," which still uses my original writing: "she was one of the first artists in the US appointed to a university science unit,[7]" followed by footnote #7 "Terranova, Charissa N.; Tromble, Meredith (August 12, 2016). The Routledge Companion to Biology in Art and Architecture (1st ed.). Abingdon-on-Thames, England: Routledge. p. xxiv. ISBN 9781138919341. Retrieved 11 June 2019." from a respected press. The exact wording of the sentence footnoted from Routledge is "She formerly held joint appointments in the University of Michigan's School of Art and Design and the Life Sciences Institute, where she was one of the first artists in the US to be appointed to a scientific unit."
The same information is covered in other reliable sources that I could easily footnote but Routledge Press is a well known international press and I thought that was adequate. The MIT Press, the National Academy of Science, Yale Radio and others could be added to back it up further.
- Regarding your "a paragraph on career starting with the latest position and going backwards is almost always a sign of promotional writing--is there any coi, or did you just adopt the wording of a source." -- Did not know that and thought it was standard. Understood that as long as you have it in a logical order, either chronologically from the latest going backwards -which I find more useful, see all the time on Wiki, and assumed was the standard- or the other way around, was fine according to Wiki rules as long as it makes sense. Yes, I imagine I was influenced by the many sources on this person's career, which as I recall usually lists from latest to most recent. I can double check if there is a preferred structure for this in Wiki guidelines.
- Regarding the flags you put on the article: "This article reads like a press release or a news article or is largely based on routine coverage or sensationalism. (July 2019) This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (July 2019)" - I am reviewing Wiki rules that cover these. I will add more direct quotes about the artist's work and contributions to the field from respected and reliable sources and edit the article to improve it. 00:01, 18 July 2019 (UTC)Ogmany (talk)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chinese intelligence activity abroad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Facial recognition (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Tibet House US moved to draftspace
[edit]The article reads entirely like an ad and needs to be edited for neutrality before it can be added to the encyclopedia. That having been said, the subject does appear to be notable, so I would encourage you to revise and resubmit the article. signed, Rosguill talk 06:42, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
- Rosguill Could you tell me how I can further improve this page then? I do not understand your putting it into articles for submission or your complaints. It has been viewed numerous times and worked on by many editors. According to your flag: "Do not copy-paste material from sources, or your submission will be rejected for copyright violations. Write from a neutral point of view and base your article on reliable sources that are independent of the subject. It is strongly discouraged to write about yourself or your own business." There has been no copy and pasting from other sources except for direct quotes put into Wiki approved style quotes. All quotes and citations are original research from reliable sources. Article is written from a neutral point of view and states the who, what, where, and when facts. (Ogmany (talk) 15:44, 31 December 2019 (UTC))
- Ogmany, don't worry too much about the instructions on the AfC notice, that's a generic template. As for what does need improvement, phrases like "Tibet's unique culture when it is confronted with extinction on its own soil" are not neutral and should be reworded (in this particular case, "unique" is unnecessary and "when it is confronted with extinction on its own soil" should probably be reworded to something like "while its cultural practice is threatened in Tibet itself"). Meanwhile, I would question the appropriateness of including a non-neutral quote in the second sentence of the lead.
- Finally, it's best for articles about organizations to focus on their past accomplishments, rather than just on their current programs. While it's important to include coverage of current programs, having the article primarily include such coverage makes it look a bit like a promotional brochure. signed, Rosguill talk 17:43, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
[User:Rosguill|Rosguill]] I made changes to the first section as you suggested. I do not see the quote "a group of Westerners sympathetic to the Tibetan cause" in the second sentence of the lead as non-neutral. As to "best for articles about organizations to focus on their past accomplishments, rather than just on their current programs." I listed articles about past programs as footnotes to illustrate the programs that fulfill TH's mission. Would it be better to break it down further and list the past programs and citations in the history section instead? (Ogmany

File copyright problem with File:EllenK.Levy.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:EllenK.Levy.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Dylsss(talk contribs) 21:31, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Henry Rollins Live at Luna Park dvd cover.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Henry Rollins Live at Luna Park dvd cover.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dylsss(talk contribs) 21:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:EllenK.Levy.jpg
[edit]
A tag has been placed on File:EllenK.Levy.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 23:58, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Red Corner into Overseas censorship of Chinese issues. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:13, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the heads up. I normally do not do that intentionally and may have been duplicating work I had already done; or confused it with someone else's work that had the same sources. I think I only copied my own entry and did not do it word for word but it is certainly possible, particularly when I am on a roll or having a dyslexia issue, which happens sometimes. Will check it out. Ogmany (talk) 23:45, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Ogmany! Your additions to Khyongla Rato have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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. 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.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- 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 either 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.
- 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
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. Aoidh (talk) 04:40, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Fredericka Foster Molten Sea Billboard.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Fredericka Foster Molten Sea Billboard.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:20, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

[edit]
Your edit to The Tin Palace 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.
