Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Davidklausner1, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Dust (2001 film) 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 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. (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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:55, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mothers (2010 film)

Hi. Thanks for your additions to this article. However, please read Manual of Style for films. You don't need to copy & paste huge waves of text, just a line or two (properly sourced) will do when it comes to the reception, etc. Please also read the rules on copyviolations, something that is also mentioned directly above this post. If you continue to copy & paste text into a Wikipedia article, you will be blocked from editing. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:35, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have ignored this and the issue raised, above. Note that if you continue to copy & paste text from other websites into any article on here you will be blocked from editing. Please reply here to show that you understand this issue. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:17, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm Milcho Manchevski's assistant, and he had asked me to include certain full texts such as Iris' essay on Dust. As well, as other essays for his other films to create a complete profile for him, and his works. He's also asked me to include press/reviews from his personal website to include in wikipedia to help direct users to his site. As well as informing the reader the different point of views the film has received. Let me know if there is something I can do to verify myself, and Milcho Manchevski so we can make these edits.

Thanks David

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Davidklausner1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Milcho Manchevski, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. L3X1 (distant write) 21:33, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
