Wikipedia and copyright
edit
Hello 216.21.218.45, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Judge Rotenberg Educational Center 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. (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 the 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 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 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.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:45, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was being disruptive by adding non-relevamt text to various pages, and I won't do that any more. Instead, I will work on adding information to pages that relate to things I know about like some of the major cities of the world which I have visited. I will not add anything to the pages which isn't relevant. 216.21.218.45 (talk) 09:17, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This seems to indicate you would add content based on personal experience or personal knowledge. That would be inappropriate and it's not clear that you understand why that would be inappropriate. Yamla (talk) 11:27, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was just looking at the list of Gen 4 Pokemon and noticed some grammar errors in some of the entries. I know grammar well so I would fix those errors. 216.21.218.45 (talk) 09:50, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This is not an example of a specific edit and given your months of disruption and prior promise to stop, I'm not convinced a specific example would be enough anyway. Yamla (talk) 10:59, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I realize someone else may have been disruptive with this IP address (it belongs to a resort hotel) but I myself will only make good edits here. Can this block at least be reduced in length? 216.21.218.45 (talk) 11:07, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
