Wikipedia and copyright
editHello 139.180.67.225, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to John Carl Buechler have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and 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 the 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 legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. Binksternet (talk) 09:21, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Post-grunge; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 02:14, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

editHello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Disambiguation, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Geniac (talk) 16:43, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at SNAFU. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. It's Boothsift 02:47, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

editPlease stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Flotsam and Jetsam (band), you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 06:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- After being messaged by another editor and having the nature of your edits brought to my attention, I found that your edits were not disruptive as I originally believed, and the warning and block I imposed was inappropriate and in error. Please accept my apologies; I've unblocked you, and you can resume editing Wikipedia as you've been doing. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on my user talk page and I'll be happy to help you. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:43, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I'm DavidBrooks. I noticed that you recently removed content from I Am Weasel without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Rock Steady Crew, you may be blocked from editing. Do not remove valid templates, instead address them by providing adequate and relevant sources. The ones identified as 'failed' did not support the text. This is the second time you have done this, so has become disruptive editing. Acabashi (talk) 15:32, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
Welcome!
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
Someone using this IP address, 139.180.67.225, has made edits to Australian Shepherd that do not conform to our policies and therefore have been reverted. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors.
You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you.
Some good links for newcomers are:
- Help contents – the main help page.
- Quick guide – a "cheatsheet" listing the main editing commands.
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial

editPlease stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Rap metal. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 05:16, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Dunedin sound. Dl2000 (talk) 00:53, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you continue to make the changes you're making, but you seem to be doing it across a variety of articles. Explanations may go a long way to avoiding a block. Please use the edit summary field to explain why you're making your edits. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:54, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

editPlease stop removing maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Canterbury scene, without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. —Bruce1eetalk 09:55, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
Your addition to Daveigh Chase has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of 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 very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

editHello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change.
