Wikipedia and copyright
editHello ItsObjectiveee, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Cartoonist 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 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. DanielRigal (talk) 15:20, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- Wow, it's hard for me to remember so many rules :( ItsObjectiveee (talk) 15:25, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- Sure. getting started on Wikipedia can be hard.
- Let me give you a bit more information, in a simpler form. There were several problems with your edits to Cartoonist:
- The material you added was copied from https://www.freecomicbookday.com/Article/116248-Genres--Categories , which seems to be in violation of their copyright.
- The material which you added was off-topic. The article is about the role of cartoonists, not about genres of cartoons. We already have a separate article about that.
- You did not use edit summaries on any of the edits. These are important so that people can understand what you are doing and why.
- You made a very large number of edits doing and undoing things. While it is OK to make major changes in multiple steps, and to undo things if you realise that you made a mistake, it is not a good idea to make very large numbers of small edits if you can avoid it.

To summarize, the rules I understand: when adding information, I have to make up my own sentences. I should add a short sentence and put quotation marks while giving references. ItsObjectiveee (talk) 15:29, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
It was not my idea to make multiple minor edits, but sometimes things I add due to internet outages or bugs are repeated more than once. My second question is: why is the page I'm referring to violates copyright?. Is it because it is not a reliable source? ItsObjectiveee (talk) 15:33, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sports equipment, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Football captains. 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.)
