Copyright issues

Hello Genilrio! Your additions to National Irrigation Administration 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. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
• 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 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. Modussiccandi (talk) 09:14, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi. The content from devex website was COPIED from the NIA website which is in the public domain. Genilrio (talk) 09:15, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. Can I ask you, in the future, to try and summarise sources in your own words? Even though it is possible to copy and paste without committing a copyright violation, we should normally aim to write in summary style. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 09:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

No worries. I am planning to do that when I have ample time. You may also revert my edit for the meantime as I or someone edits the History part. You can also add an appropriate tag on the article for that matter. Thank you. Genilrio (talk) 09:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

I have added the tag {{PD-notice}} to the article. Please do this yourself in the future so that our readers and patrollers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 12:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll do that in the future edits that may warrant the tag. Genilrio (talk) 05:40, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of National Irrigation Administration

Hello Genilrio,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged National Irrigation Administration for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
