Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Thalaivaa, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop link spam of IFlickz. Wikipedia is not for advertising / promotion. Biriyani_(film) , Thalaivaa Evano1van(எவனோ ஓருவன்) 06:46, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello Briosys, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Dhanush has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. 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. SQGibbon (talk) 09:03, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Kochadaiyaan, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. SQGibbon (talk) 09:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Your addition to Thanga Meenkal has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without 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 text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions 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 violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. SQGibbon (talk) 13:07, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Minor edits and words to watch

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you.

And please avoid words like "today" and "yesterday". Wikipedia articles do not have a publication date and the words quickly become obsolete. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Relative time references. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:14, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Please stop using the source iFlicks, or how ever it is spelled. Because u are adamant, u will be blocked shortly. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:28, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent disruptive editing and refusing to address concerns of other editors. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  – Connormah (talk) 13:41, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Hi Administrators. First of all I would like to apologize for all my actions. Honestly I am new here and not completely aware which articles I can edit and which one I should not. Though I have seen your repeated warnings, I was not sure what I was doing wrong until I went through all the corrective actions that was suggested in my account block message. Kindly unblock my IP and I promise that such disruptive editing will not be repeated again in future. I was also unaware that sharing content or materials from other sites is a serious copyright issue. Pardon my unintentional acts and please unblock my IP and account. Thanks Briosys (talk) 11:22, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I'm having a hard time understanding your explanation. You seem to be saying that you did see all the warnings here on your page but until you were blocked you did not understand what they meant. How does that work? I mean, what was it about being blocked that suddenly made you comprehend what others had been trying to tell you for several weeks before that?

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I work for Briosys and iFlickz is one of our clients. This is the first time we have started using wikipedia. Once we realised it is conflict of interest in citing texts and links directly from iFlickz we have stopped doing it. We did not understand the copyrights issue because they are our clients. We only started learning slowly that there are certain articles we are not supposed to edit without permission and all that. It is not so easy for someone new here to get accommodated right away. I have admitted that I have made a mistake and I can only assure that it wont happen again. Unfortunately there is not a way for me to undo what I did Briosys (talk) 06:09, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

There's usually no restriction on which articles people can edit. However, in cas4es of conflict of interest (WP:COI),, we prefer that people should not edit subjects that they are close to. This includes subjects involving their clients. Are you connected to the Briosys company of Chennai (and Florida)? Peridon (talk) 14:18, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes I work for Brio Systems Chennai and iFlickz is our client. I have stopped promoting iflickz site already. I can assure you that it wont happen again.Briosys (talk) 11:20, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Advice

One thing u can improve about urself to avoid being blocked is, u should stop adding unreliable sources like iFlicks, and even stop copy-pasting text just as it is. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:39, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes I have already stopped promoting and adding iFlickz links. I can assure that it will not happen again in futureBriosys (talk) 11:24, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Opting in to VisualEditor

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit ^beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:20, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
