Last Time (fuel song)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Last Time (fuel song), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Last Time (Fuel song). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 00:47, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Creating duplicate articles

I noticed you recently created three duplicate articles. Please only create one, and then if needed, create alternate title pages as redirects. For information read WP:redirect. --☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 01:35, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Fuel album and single covers

Please do not add links to files on Commons when you are not the original artist. Most of your recent uploads of cover artworks by Fuel were either copyrighted to the original artist and not pblished under a free license or you used original images to make a derivative. Both are copyright infringements and therefore we cannot use such images at Wikipedia. And please don't make up covers pretending they are the original artwork as you did at File:Fuel - last time cover art.jpg.

You can, however, upload existing cover images from reliable sources here at Wikipedia and use them under a fair use claim. This includes placing the templates {{Non-free use rationale album cover}} and {{Non-free album cover}} on the file's page. Unlike Commons, Wikipedia accepts fair use images when there is a valid rationale. De728631 (talk) 00:57, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Cold Summer (Fuel song)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Cold Summer (Fuel song), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=32408.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:37, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Switchfoot4713, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Cold Summer (Fuel song) 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 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• 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. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:01, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Fuel - "Yeah!" cover art.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Fuel - "Yeah!" cover art.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:33, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
