Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Ejatccurate, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Canon Automoteur AMX 50 Foch 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. (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: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 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) 15:35, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't add copyright material copied from other websites to Wikipedia. Everything you contribute needs to be written in your own words. — Diannaa (talk) 16:24, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please address Diannaa's concerns. This is imperative as explained above. Please do not ignore, you have already done so by the copyvio below. Thank you, Willbb234^Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 17:22, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images from either web sites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from {{{url}}}, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License (CC BY-SA 3.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39 and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39, in their email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39 with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39 saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing!

February 2020

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. — Diannaa (talk) 18:14, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked your account, because you continued to add copyright material to Wikipedia in violation of our copyright policy, immediately after being warned. You cannot resume editing until you provide a statement describing how copyright applies to Wikipedia, show that you understand our copyright policy, and make a commitment to follow it in the future.— Diannaa (talk) 18:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Ejatccurate (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hello Diannaa, I have read through the comments written on my talk page and understand the serious violations I have committed. I apologise for the mistakes I have made as I am new to Wikipedia and did not understand the rules here. I also did not check my messages as I did not know what it entails. I do hope that you can unblock me so that I can correct the articles I have made. Thank you.

Decline reason:

This statement does not fulfill the conditions laid out by Diannaa. As copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we must be absolutely sure that you will not repeat such actions in the future. You will need to explain what copyright is in your own words, how you violated it, and what steps you will take to act differently in the future. As you have not done this with this request, I am declining it. 331dot (talk) 10:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Ejatccurate (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hello Diannaa, I have read through the comments written on my talk page and understand the serious violations I have committed. I understand that copyright is the special privileges retained by the creator that prevent others from directly copy his work without asking for permission. I have violated the copyright policy by copying the original text and images from the other sources without permission for the articles 10.5 cm leFH18/3 (Sf) auf Geschützwagen B-2(f), SU-100P, Gendron-SOMUA AMR 39, AMX 38, AMX 40, AMX Chasseur de Char, Batignolles Chatillon 155mm, Canon Automoteur AMX 50 Foch, Canon D’Assaut Lorraine, FCM 50t, Lorraine 40t, Lorraine 155 mm and Somua S35 CA. I apologise for the mistakes I have made as I am new to Wikipedia and did not understand the rules here. I also apologise for not checking my mail box as I was busy writing articles. I do hope that you can unblock me so that I can correct the articles I have made. I will make sure that I do not flout the copyright rule by writing the articles in my own words and use [Copyvio Detector] and Copyleaks to check if the articles are in violation of any copyrights. Furthermore, I will delete the pictures that I have posted on the articles without any license. Finally, I will write a draft of an article before submitting to admin for review. Thank you.

Accept reason:

It sounds like you now understand our copyright policy and how it applies to Wikipedia editing. I will be watching your edits so please be sure to write everything in your own words from now on. Pay attention to any talk page messages you receive, and read them right away. — Diannaa (talk) 02:51, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Somua S35 CA moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Somua S35 CA, does not have enough sources and citations 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. b uidhe 19:09, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lorraine 40t, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IS-3 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:22, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

February 2020

Hello, I'm Ost316. I noticed that you recently removed content from AMX 40 without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. This page is being used as a {{R from alternative punctuation}}. If you believe that an article on AMX 40 should exist, please create it at Draft:AMX 40 and get it moved via the Articles for Creation. If you believe that this redirect is inappropriate because it is inaccurate and misleading, please nominate it for deletion; blanking is not the appropriate way to delete pages that you have not created. Ost (talk) 17:30, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: AMX 40 (February 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sulfurboy was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:AMX 40 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:AMX 40, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Sulfurboy (talk) 15:30, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ejatccurate! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Sulfurboy (talk) 15:30, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
