Thanks

... for your addition. Could you please find a reliable source for this? I have tweaked and tagged the addition. Cheers and thanks. - DVdm (talk) 15:49, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Well, you did your best finding that source. Alas, not everyone seems to agree about its reliability. That is how Wikipedia works. You could try to have a chat with that user at User talk:Indopug, or you could open a little section on the Zappa talk page at Talk:Frank Zappa, but I doubt whether you would find support from other contributors about the reliability of the source. Anyway, don't lose any sleep over it and keep up the good work. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 13:59, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Stephen Crowe speaking at the Courtauld Institute.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Stephen Crowe speaking at the Courtauld Institute.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 10:51, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Uploading several copies of the same image without providing the required information does not do help any. We still need to verify the actual source and licencing information. You may find it useful to read my image copyright information page. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 20:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

The Francis Bacon Opera

Hi Mrs Renard. I've been working on your draft submission and it's now probably ready for article space. I'll move it later today. However, I had to rewrite it considerably as the first half consisted entirely of copy-pasted text from www.francisbaconopera.com. This is a copyright infringement, and you really must not do that in future articles. I'll leave a standard message below which explains more about these issues. If you think you might have copy-pasted text into any other articles you've written, please check them now and rectify it by re-writing the passages in your own words. If it is only a very brief quote, then you must clearly mark it as a quote, and attribute it to the author with an inline citation. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 15:41, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Mrs Renard, 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 Wikipedia: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.
• 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. Voceditenore (talk) 15:41, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello to you!

Well spotted on the copy & paste. In fact I wrote the wiki entry first and then realised it was better than what was on baconopera.com, so I pasted it there. Silly mistake of mine, and thanks for the sterling work you've done!

Mrs R.

Hi Mrs. R, I moved your response to here from the previous section, as I assumed you were responding to me. I work at Wikipedia's Copyright problems board and it's second nature to check a new article that I encounter for potential copyright problems. Anyhow, if you are at all affiliated with this opera or its composer, either personally or professionally (and I assume you are since you say you added the material to his website), you need to read this page which has guidance for editing under these circumstances. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 16:19, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
