Wikipedia and copyright

Hello WikiPhil012! Your additions to Coat of arms of Regina, Saskatchewan 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:09, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:Seal of Boston has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Seal of Boston. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 18:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Seal of Boston

I removed the redirect target leftover from the move so now Draft:Seal of Boston is a blank draft for you to use. I will revert your changes to Draft:Coat of arms of the University of Calgary so that one goes back to what it was. S0091 (talk) 18:47, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I was having difficulty with this redirect. WikiPhil012 (talk) 18:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

The reason we don't usually repurpose pages is because it muddles the history so a new topic should start as a new page and you might find Your first article helpful. Also, some of the topics you are writing about may not warrant a stand-alone article, see WP:PAGEDECIDE. S0091 (talk) 18:56, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

And if you wish for a draft to be deleted, assuming no one else has significantly contributed it, you can place {{Db-author}} (include the curly brackets) at the top and an admin will delete it. Otherwise, drafts are deleted in 6 months from the last human edit. S0091 (talk) 19:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
