Flandrensis

edit

Hi! I have read your comments on the discussion page of Flandrensis. I am the author of the Esperanto version of that article, which has a Good article status. I just wanted to ask, are you a citizen of Flandrensis? :)

  • Hello Ochilov, no I'm not a citizen of Flandrensis or any other micronation. But as student I studied alternative communities and I did some research to micronations like Flandrensis, Aigues-Mortes (is not yet on Wikipedia), Ladonia, Hutt River ... From Flandrensis I have a lot of documentation (copies of newspapers, chapters in books, ...) and this page helped me a lot. I follow Flandrensis and some others from a distance and I try to participate in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Micronations. --Delle89 (talk) 21:47, 10 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:File angyalistan.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:File angyalistan.jpg, which you've attributed to MicroWiki. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 14:34, 12 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Delle89! Your additions to Empire of Angyalistan 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. — Diannaa (talk) 14:36, 12 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Liberland

edit

Good morning!

I work for Liberland and am authorized to make changes in the Wiki to reflect the current situation. I am not disputing that Liberland is presently not recognized (it is recognized, but only by a few countries and is no UN member); but all the sources I am linking are Liberland sources.

Since Liberland makes the decision whom to appoint into which office, I find it strange that this is rejected & that there is a "copyright violation" cited. Whose copyright? All those sources are sources uploaded by Liberland.

Also, there was a mention of "Fictitious titles" of this "unrecognized micronation" that supposedly "don't belong" to the sidebar. I wonder which titles would then belong there? We don't have any other than "self-appointed" (i.e. appointed by the Provisional Government) officials, because there is nobody else to appoint them for us. Such "self-appointed" titles are already there and had been accepted previously; so the decision is whether to keep obsolete and currently false information or allow the update?

Please respond and, if possible, revert the undoing of the changes I have made. Thank you! Yours sincerely Michal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michalptacnik (talkcontribs) 08:28, 30 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
