Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Benzekre! Your additions to Joe Giglio 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello. There is no copyrighted content since the previously published content can be found on lexpractis.com which is the legal website of Joe Giglio. I uploaded the content with the permission of Joe Giglio himself. I am therefore restoring the page as it was before. Benzekre (talk) 19:02, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's still a copyright violation even if Joe Giglio gave you permission. Unless we're given explicit permission to use said content, we are not allowed to use it. Please do not restore the content. The4lines |||| ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 19:25, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. So what can we do to give you the explicit permission to use the said content? Benzekre (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials#Granting us permission to copy material already online. Beware that even with the permission, the content will not be suitable for Wikipedia in it's current form due to our policies on proper weighting of content and advertising. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 19:48, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Joe Giglio 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 information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. 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. I just warned you. Do NOT copy and paste from the article. Even if it wasn't copyrighted, in its current form, it's not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hello again. I have seen that you have once again removed my editing. Please note that on this occasion, I did not mention the legal company of Joe Giglio. Furthermore, the content is much smaller as I did not copy & paste material from it. Everything is now written in different wording. From my perspective, there has been no direct or indirect advertising or copy/pasting from copyrighted material. I therefore ask you to reconsider. Thank you.
