Wikipedia and copyright
edit
Hello IClemclem, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.
- 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) 20:35, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
... and beyond !
edit- Hello Clemclem,
- Welcome to Wikipedia ! :D
- The good news is: the copyright issue is now solved, Cri-paris.org's webmaster agreed to publish the text copied into an open license.
- "Bad" news is : your article has been axed down heavily according to the community rules (and some lightly strict application of them) by some wikipedians. They acted quite fast so I hadn't time to review your group's article and make things better. Your work was a great first draft but wikipedia requirements are just higher.
- Your group's work is still there, available in the page's history tab.
- I suggest we copy your last work back in your sandbox and make it more acceptable according to Wikipedia requirements.
- I thing your group has my email (I'am the IT staff member who has some experience with Wikipedia), so feel free to meet up in person at the school to we can see how to proceed.
- Best regards, --Yug (talk) 18:39, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- Ok, I dug into the page's history tab, found the last version of your group's work not axed by other wikipedians, and moved that text back into User:IClemclem/sandbox, so volunteers could consolidate your work there in peace.
- These recent edits by various editors are fine and part of Wikipedia editorial process. Some people add contents, some others review it, axe it, and yet some other consolidate contents with better style and sources so to restore them. Wikipedia is a lively place and continuous debate. Welcome to it :D Yug (talk) 19:06, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
