Copyright status of SunSets North edit

  Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to SunSets North. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=48881056 in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:SunSets North with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:SunSets North with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:SunSets North saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. CIreland 20:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Note: The other copies of the page that you created have also been tagged as copyright violations. CIreland 20:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: SunSets North edit

Thanks for responding concerning the copyright violations. Please be aware that it is not possible for us to assume an identity based on a Wikipedia username as anyone could register that username and our first priority must be to protect the rights of copyright holders. If you wish to license the text under the GFDL then there are instructions in the copyright notice above. However, I should warn you of two things: firstly, promotional material very rarely makes for suitable encyclopedia material as the tone is (obviously) promotional rather than neutral. Secondly, be sure that the band satisfies the notability criteria for musicians and bands given in WP:MUSIC - many, many articles are submitted by bands that are not yet successful and have to be deleted and I wouldn't wish you to fruitlessly expend effort writing an article only for it to be deleted again. Please leave a message here or on my talk page if you need any assistance. CIreland 21:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


Re: Re: SunSets North edit

How may i go about getting all the material i submitted back, alot of the formating took me some time to figure out. I also find it weird that a a band we're friends with SomeDay Never have a wiki that is also porotional in nature as well....

OK, as far as Someday Never goes, I will take a look - some stuff slips throught the net - I will get back to you shortly. As far as retrieving the text of SunSets North, I will contact an administrator for you as only they have delete/undelete permissions. It will be up to them. CIreland 21:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Update - I have notified the deleting admin of your request. Also, Someday Never has already been deleted once and I have renominated it. In my experience it is unlikely to be kept (but I could be wrong). CIreland 21:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Copyrighted material edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Carlossuarez46 22:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Ssnorth.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Ssnorth.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz talk 04:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
