Copyright problem on Draft:Hillel Abbe Shapiro

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Draft:Hillel Abbe Shapiro, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

• Copying text from other sources
• Policy on copyright
• Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
• Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

Help me!

Please help me with...

I have an email from the publisher of an obituary, which gives me permission to quote and use any information I wish from the obituary article, which is in a journal from 1984.

How do I prove to Wikipedia that I have permission to use this material? Thank you.

Yororipas (talk) 17:24, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Although we appreciate that you obtained permission from the publisher, such permission is unnecessary. You would not be able to copy the obituary verbatim into a WP article without a more complete release of copyright than you've been given.

Assuming that the journal you are referring to is a publication and not some private document, providing bibliographical information detailing where the published obituary can be found is all you need in order to be able to cite data from the obituary. Summarize in your own words, don't copy directly.

If the information has not been published, I'm afraid there is no way to use it on Wikipedia. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:55, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Quoting would be tricky. If the quote is more than what's covered by fair use (for which no permission is necessary), not only you would need permission to use the text, but the copyright holder would need to release it under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes. Evidence of such a release can be provided via email to permissions-enwikimedia.org. See WP:Donating copyrighted content and WP:Requesting copyright permission for details.

I suggest you instead summarize the information given in the obituary (which, unlike text, isn't copyrightable) in your own words and cite the obituary as the source for that information. See WP:Referencing for beginners and the {{cite journal}} template for details. Huon (talk) 17:57, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Copyright problem on Draft:Hillel Abbe Shapiro

Content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from here. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:23, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Is there a way to quickly find a particular line in an article while editing, ie. show line numbers on the side or something?

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:17, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

getting References right

Can anyone help me with this?: In the atricle I am working on, Hille Abbe Shapiro, three references are RED sections with notes saying that the dates are not correctly notated. I cannot see how to correct these. Can you do it or explain what the issue is? Thank you.

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Hillel Abbe Shapiro.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Hillel Abbe Shapiro.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 08:00, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:The Icon of Our Lord, St John Fisher and The Lady Margaret Beaufort.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:The Icon of Our Lord, St John Fisher and The Lady Margaret Beaufort.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dylsss^{(talk contribs)} 18:41, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
