Wikipedia and copyright

Hello CapitalSasha! Your additions to Thom Mason 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. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 01:43, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Whpq, I believe all I did on that page was create it as a redirect to Thomas Mason (physicist), which should not be a copyright violation. Is this not correct? Thanks. CapitalSasha ~ talk 01:46, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was @Auracas who added the copyvio. Thanks, if I am mistaken please do let me know. VickKiang (talk) 01:50, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. I'm really messing this one up. I apologize. Totally my fault for getting it wrong. No copyright issues with any of CapitalSasha's edits on Thom Mason. Whpq (talk) 02:04, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thanks for the clarification! CapitalSasha ~ talk 12:12, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mild sauce moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Mild sauce, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

This is currently a dictionary definition with a single source. Please provide additional sources that establish notability before moving back to mainspace. Slywriter (talk) 14:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added two more sources, that should be enough for GNG no? CapitalSasha ~ talk 14:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's at least clearer what's being discussed. Chicago mild sauce might be a better title, but think it's ready for main space either way. Slywriter (talk) 04:16, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
