Wikipedia and copyright

Hello MpMe2015, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or 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 a cited source. 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. Fiddle Faddle 08:55, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Mauro Patricelli, musician

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Mauro Patricelli, musician requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.mauropatricelli.com/uk/biography_uk.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

November 2015

Your addition to Draft:Mauro Patricelli, musician has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Fiddle Faddle 09:24, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

I think you may need some help

I have very little time today, but can offer you some when I can, probably tomorrow. I will not write the article for you, but I will offer you such advice as you wish. Thank you for removing the copyright issue. I or Diannaa will be more than happy to explain why the work was not suitable to be copied here if you need that information. Fiddle Faddle 15:46, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

I grabbed 5 minutes.

The problem is that we must protect copyright and we do so fiercely, as you have seen. If you own the copyright then you may look at WP:Donating copyright material and follow the process, but it is a lot of effort. And, even when you do, the wording is probably not suitable for Wikipedia, which has a very different tone form a personal web site.

So it is far better to use new, fresh words and to write in our style, which is very factual. Think of a dull-but-worthy style and you have it correct.

The thing about biographies is that we are as rigorous in protecting a living person as we are in protecting copyright. This leads to a high standard required for a reference. I have said this to you before, but this is what we require:

For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

Yes, every fact. But a simple reference is not a citation. A citation is positioned in the text precisely at the fact that is asserted. There are some riles about the exact position. Do not worry about those. We have sufficient pedants to make corrections for you.

You need to concentrate on the draft passing WP:BIO. The gentleman may be well known in his field, but, if no-one has written about him, he will almost certainly fail to make the cut here. The sole thing that helps him to pass the test is citations. So cite, cite, cite, but do not over dozens of citations of the same point. One citation per fact is quote sufficient.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have. I have a good chance of missing a question form you, so please use {{Ping|Timtrent}} in your reply and I will be notified provided you sign your message with ~~~~, which triggers the notification and adds your signature.
