Copyright
editIt is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.JBW (talk) 15:46, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi James,
- I tried to always change the wording for chunks that I started out by copying and if not I put it in quotes and cited it. Is there any way I can go back in and modify the draft to try to remove the copyright issues? I figured if I made any oversteps or errors it would be flagged for modification and not just straight up deleted...
- Thank you for your help,

edit Your edit to Draft:Rodney Lister 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.

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.
I very nearly asked for the entire draft to be deleted, there was so much scraped from other websites. It is not as if JBW had not warned you on 27 June 2023. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 15:52, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
