Welcome and introduction

Hi, Dortega94. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person by golly! And this real person (that would be me), wants to say welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've made an account! Thanks for joining; you're on your way to making some great contributions.

Because I've noticed you've just joined, I wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. Any questions are fine, nothing is too silly (we've heard them all). Now, the tips below - hop on them - they should help you begin editing. Best of luck! JoeSmack ^Talk 20:18, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Yessss! You made an account! Totally sweet! Anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Besides that, you shouldn't feel nervous or anything about a good-willed contribution. If you're concerned, talk to us. Play in your user area. For example, create User:Dortega94/test. If you feel nervous, feel free to talk to us. When you're ready, start your first article using the Article Wizard. You don't HAVE to use it, but for your first article it really helps. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. If you'd like more guidance, you guessed it, talk to us. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. (You'll want to sign your name with these four tildes ~~~~ when you leave something on a talk page to help know who you are!) Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia! --JoeSmack Talk 20:18, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

P.S. If you just feel like poking around, Wikipedia:Help is a good place to start. :)

Can you tell me where this text came from? It is rather disjointed and strangely formatted. Rich Farmbrough, 01:23, 4 November 2009 (UTC).

Bolivia

Until you have a reference you can provide, please stop changing Bolivia from Plurinational to Republic. According to the constitution, it is the Plurinational state of Bolivia. Thanks, Onopearls ^(t/c) 19:57, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

I could care less if it "pisses you off", according to the IMF and the United Nations, that is the official name of Bolivia. And Wikipedia can't be used as a source for other Wikipedia articles. Please provided a reliable source, not discussions from the Spanish Wikipedia. If you can't, then please refrain from changing it. If you believe this is incorrect, please start a discussion here. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Onopearls ^(t/c) 17:26, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

What the people of the country call it does not affect it's official name. People living in the Russian Federation call their country Russia, people in the United States of America call it the US, USA, or America. I've started a discussion here, please feel free to express your opinions there. Thank you, Onopearls ^(t/c) 20:00, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Dortega94! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 51 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Juan Del Granado - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:La Paz Skyline By Dortega94.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:La Paz Skyline By Dortega94.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 02:13, 1 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. • ɔ ʃ → 02:13, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Falsely licensed images

Using other people's work without permission or attribution is unacceptable. Copyright infringement and plagiarism pose serious moral, legal, and reputation problems. Remember: Users who upload content (La Paz city images) with false license declarations ... may be blocked. feydey (talk) 00:25, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Dortega, I'm not sure you've understood the issue here, so I'll try to explain once again: the problem with your La Paz collage is that it consists of several source images, and you need to document who created each of them, because the copyright remains that of their respective authors. If all of the component images are in fact freely licensed (preferably if they are all uploaded separately on Commons), then you can make a collage of them, but you shouldn't claim it as your own copyright. Instead, you should list all sources and authors on the image description page. Take a look at other city collages, e.g. File:Athens Montage 2.jpg, to see how it can be done.

Copyright violations

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission.

Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

This block is not meant to be an infinite block, but since you have not edited in several years, I wanted to make sure you understand this very important policy before resuming your editing. Once you have read and understood the policy, you are welcome to appeal your block. Regards, Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:56, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
