Wikipedia and copyright edit
Hello MrMemer223! Your additions to Doug McCallum have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.
- 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. 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.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- 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 either 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.
- 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
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. The image you supplied is likely from one of several news sources. The only way Wikipedia can use a previously published images is 1) if it has a clearly posted copyright and 2) that copyright is compatible with one of our copyright (like the one you selected when uploading to commons: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license.). Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Image sizing edit
While I'm providing editing advice, you might want to read MOS:IMAGESIZE. Do not set absolute image sizes. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:50, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Portuguese Joe Silvey edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Portuguese Joe Silvey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://portuguesepioneersofbc.blogspot.com/2011/08/portuguese-joe-early-vancouver-volume.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Mhawk10 (talk) 02:46, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
The article Statue of James Douglas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Does not appear to be a notable statue.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Mhawk10 (talk) 02:48, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- just because it's not notable doesn't mean it should be deleted MrMemer223 (talk) 03:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
Vandalism at Rebel News edit
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Rebel News. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 13:29, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- i did it because i think calling it alt right is too far MrMemer223 (talk) 02:22, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- I believe that your edit was okay and that WP:NORESVAND is worth reading. In 2017 in talk thread Alt-right there was a side discussion whether Category = Alt-right was okay. I backed off then from starting an RfC about it, but might do so after other Rebel News talk thread discussions have clearly ended. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:26, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
May 2022 edit
Hello, MrMemer223. I noticed that your recent edit to Mark Hammond (American politician) added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. Sumanuil. 21:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Blogs are not books edit
Hey, I think you accidentally formatted a blog reference as a book. It's fine because I've taken that whole sentence out. That's obviously not a reliable source for anything. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks! Polycarpa aurata (talk) 18:24, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
July 2022 edit
It may not have been your intention, but one of your edits, specifically one that you made on Tiara Mack, may have been a change that some consider controversial. Due to this, your edits may have been reverted. When making possibly controversial changes, it is good practice to first discuss your edit on the article's talk page before making it, to gain consensus over whether or not to include the text, phrasing, etc. If you believe that the information you added was correct, please initiate that discussion. Thank you. BlueboyLINY (talk) 21:08, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
