Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Hayday13, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Face negotiation theory have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:45, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

I have only removed the copyright violation that was picked up by a bot. This was all I was able to detect for certain, as the sources are behind a paywall. If you added any further copyright material to this article, please remove it. Thank you, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:49, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

• I received a notification of this. Diannaa, I found other content that was either closely paraphrased from various source material or was directly taken, so I went ahead and removed all of the student's additions to the page. Hayday13, you must follow Wikipedia's copyright and plagiarism guidelines. All content needs to be written in your own words. Even if you cite the source afterwards, posting someone else's work either wholesale or closely paraphrased is still seen as a copyright and plagiarism issue, even if you did not intend for this to be seen as such. I've removed all of the work you've posted to the article for the reasons that Diannaa posted above. Even if this was unintentional, you still can't do this on Wikipedia and you must be extremely careful with how you phrase things. I can send a copy of the content (including the material that Dianna removed, with her permission) to your professor to show her your work and if Diannaa is ok with this, I can e-mail you a copy for you to re-write and remove all of the copyrighted content from - but you cannot post it back to Wikipedia until this has been cleaned out.

Before posting again, I would like you to review this module on plagiarism and copyright violations, thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Shalor for your help. It's okay with me if you send the editor a copy of the removed material via email. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:50, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
