Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Apostolicus, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double 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: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) 14:42, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Your addition to Giovanni Bernardo Gremoli 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. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 23:43, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
I also found copyright violations in St. Joseph's Cathedral, Abu Dhabi and List of pastoral visits of Pope Francis. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 01:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello Apostolicus. Your user page indicates that this is a shared account, which is not allowed. It also indicates that "Apostolicus" is the name of an organization. If it is, you will have to change your user name. Please post your reply below.— Diannaa (talk) 12:09, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Draftification
Hi please slow down your draftifying. There is no need to push articles to draft shortly after they are created. You can tag them as needing more sources and come back after a week or so to draftify if there’s no improvement. Thanks Mccapra (talk) 17:53, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Okay - Apostolicus (talk) 17:54, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- I came here to say the same thing. You draftified 23 articles today! That's excessive. Moving main space article to Draft space is just one tool that is possible to use, it's not the only tool that you should use when you see an article that needs to be improved. Also, you focused much of your efforts on the work of one editor and that could be seen as harassment. Please edit thoughtfully and don't mass-edit with any type of editing. Thank you. Liz Read!

Unblock request - April 2024
Apostolicus (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Following my previous request, I diligently reviewed multiple Wikipedia articles to help further my understanding of copyright issues. Here are the results of my review:
1. What is copyright?
Copyright is a type of law that protects original creations and gives the creator exclusive rights to use and share them for a specific period. It aims to help creators earn money from their creations. Copyright laws differ by country but typically apply to literature, music, drama, art, and other forms of creative work.
2. How is Wikipedia licenced?
The information on Wikipedia is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). This means that people can use and edit the text as long as they offer the same freedoms to others and give credit to the original authors of the Wikipedia article.
3. Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
Wikipedia follows U.S. copyright laws as its servers are based in the United States. It is unable to host any material that violates these laws, ensuring that its content can be freely distributed and edited. The website aims to offer reliable information that is available for sharing and usage.
When I posted pictures on Flickr and later moved them to Wikipedia, I not only violated copyright laws but also falsely changed the images' licensing and included them in Wikipedia articles unlawfully. This misled others to believe the images could be freely distributed when they were not actually authorized to be.
4. Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?
Certain content that is protected by copyright laws may be utilized under the "fair use" doctrine, allowing for restricted use of copyrighted material without obtaining permission for specific purposes like commentary, criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research. Various factors influence fair use, including the intent and nature of the usage, the type of copyrighted material, the proportion utilized compared to the entirety, and the impact on the market or value of the copyrighted work. Wikipedia may also permit fair use for educational and transformative objectives within its articles.
5. How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?
In order to comply with Wikipedia's copyright policy, it is important to:
- Understand and adhere to copyright laws, including those that apply outside the U.S.
- Use content that is either in the public domain or licensed for free use and redistribution, such as CC BY-SA.
- Include information when uploading images, including copyright tags, a description, source, and author details to ensure proper permissions for use on Wikipedia.
- Avoid using copyrighted content that doesn't meet Wikipedia's fair use guidelines or lacks a clear license for redistribution and modification.
I hope my explanation of Wikipedia's copyright policy was clear and has shown my readiness to return to contributing constructively to the platform. I have learned a lot by re-reviewing these policies, and I am eager to apply this knowledge to enhance my future work. My aim is to ensure that my contributions not only enrich the resource but also strictly adhere to the necessary legal and ethical standards. I am sincerely looking forward to being part of the Wikipedia community again, helping to share accurate and valuable information with the world.
