Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Ajlf2787! Your additions to Seven Sport 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:39, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Seven News, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Matt Carmichael. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:01, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

July 2023

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to The Morning Show did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Happily888 (talk) 04:34, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Non-free use of File:Manly 1998 Logo.webp

Thank you for uploading File:Manly 1998 Logo.webp. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the {{di-fails NFCC}} tag itself.

An administrator will review this file within a few days, and having considered the opinions placed on the image page, may delete it in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion or remove the tag entirely. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 13:22, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Iruka13

Thanks for contacting me. I retrieved this from a platform very similar to wikipedia - logopedia. I had cited this as the source and what purpose it is used for. There are no other ways to obtain this file/image as most use this source as a means to refer to the past logo of the organisation in question.

i could potentially find an alternative if absolutely necessary, however it is quite hard to locate. Please advise and happy to assist Ajlf2787 (talk) 22:31, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ajlf2787. We have paragraph 4 of the WP:NFCC, which says that only already published images or works derived from them can be placed on Wikipedia. If you took the file from the Internet, then you should give a link to the page from which you took it. But what does this have to do with this file, I do not understand. — Ирука¹³ 22:49, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

The file/slash image has been derived from works already by the organisation, its just that images of the works are scarce. I can add a link directly to where the image came from as well if needed Ajlf2787 (talk) 22:51, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Do this with all uploaded images, please. However, this file is likely to be removed for the reasons listed on the file description page. — Ирука¹³ 22:55, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Manly Sea Eagles 1980 Logo.webp

Thank you for uploading File:Manly Sea Eagles 1980 Logo.webp. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Also:

• File:Manly 1960 Logo.webp
• File:Manly Sea Eagles 1950 Logo.webp
• File:Manly 1998 Logo.png

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Manly 1998 Logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Manly 1998 Logo.png. 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) 17:25, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Help me!

Please help me with... I accidentally was editing an article for a club page and their information on the left hand side has been moved to the body of the article instead how do i return it to the club information section Ajlf2787 (talk) 22:09, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

It always helps to link to the article, in this case obviously Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. It was the second edit of your eight consecutive edits that messed up the template. I've reverted all the edits, though. I suggest you do them one at a time so you can figure out what you're doing wrong. Or you can just look at the second edit itself (in the history) to sort it out. I didn't feel like spending the time, tbh.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:12, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Happily888. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks

Hi, because you aren't using edit summaries to explain your edits, I can't tell what you are attempting to do with the Infobox on this article. The Sharks are a rugby league club, but you have now twice changed the infobox to "Australian football", which is designed for AFL clubs. This would appear to be incorrect. Have you possibly mixed up Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks with the Cronulla AFL club down the road? Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello

I was trying to update the club information page to provide the team colours. Much like many other sporting codes do in the club information section, the banner is a different colour based on the colour of the team. For some reason, rugby league doesn't allow for colours. SO I borrowed the template from Australian rules as I wanted it to look similar to that Ajlf2787 (talk) 08:54, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
