Copyright problem: The Panther (novel)
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as The Panther (novel), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

Wikipedia and copyright
edit
Hello Raianick95, 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 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 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. — Diannaa (talk) 03:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:

Request reason:
The pages I edited that have been flagged for copyright infringement are pages related to the author Nelson DeMille. I posted information (book synopses) directly from the author's website because I was expressly given permission to do so by the author's marketing team. I am fairly new to Wikipedia, so I only persisted after being warned of infringing copyright because I was confused and unsure how to show that I had official permission to post the content in question. I realize now that I should not have persisted. Can a kind person unblock me and explain specifically how I would get the content posted on those pages again and provide official proof of permission to do so? I can easily obtain proof of permission, but I am unsure of what form it needs to be in and where I would need to put it. Thank you to anyone who may be reading this for your time/effort. Raianick95 (talk) 17:22, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Accept reason:
See lengthy comment below. Huon (talk) 17:58, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I understand Wikipedia can be confusing, but I'd ask you to not simply proceed when you're notified that there's some confusing issue but to stop and ask for clarification. That might be a little slower, but it will be seen as much less disruptive.
- Regarding the book synopses, it's not enough that you have permission; to be used on Wikipedia, the copyright holder must grant everybody the right to re-use and modify the content for any purposes, including commercial purposes, and release it under a license that is compatible with Wikipedia's Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 License. See WP:Donating copyrighted content and WP:Requesting copyright permission for advice on how to provide evidence of the licensing, both from a copyright owner's perspective and from the perspective of someone asking the copyright holder to release the content. Please note that there may be other issues beyond copyright; a synopsis published by the author is not an independent source and would be unsuitable for anything beyond a simple plot summary, and even then it may need to be reworded. For example, the synopsis you added to The Panther (novel) seemed to be meant to make the reader want to find out more by buying the book; it did not give an adequate understanding of the plot. Huon (talk) 17:58, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for accepting my appeal and being so understanding. Thank you for clarifying the issue for me, I was not aware it was a licensing issue rather than just a permission issue. Also, I see your point about the inherent bias present in a synopsis published by the author. Thanks for the valuable information. --Raianick95 (talk) 18:29, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of The Cuban Affair (novel)
edit
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 The Cuban Affair (novel) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Cuban-Affair/Nelson-DeMille/9781501101724. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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. JamesG5 (talk) 00:17, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on The Cuban Affair (novel), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. JamesG5 (talk) 18:29, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Cuban Affair (novel)
editHello Raianick95,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Cuban Affair (novel) for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline, and related matters
edit
Hello, Raianick95. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:13, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
