Your submission at Articles for creation: Angela Clarke (British Writer, on Bahrain) (December 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

needs independent sources

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:Angela Clarke (British Writer, on Bahrain) 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:Angela Clarke (British Writer, on Bahrain), 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, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Bahrain A Heritage Explored.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bahrain A Heritage Explored.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 10:45, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Bahrain A Heritage Explored.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Bahrain A Heritage Explored.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 00:19, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited American Mission Hospital, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arabian Gulf. 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) 06:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Mejoel! 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. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
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.
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) 15:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jane Scardefield moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jane Scardefield, 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.

Speedy deletion of Draft:Bound to Rise (Book)

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Draft:Bound to Rise (Book) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://www.amazon.com/Bound-Rise-Sunil-Robert/dp/9383260114. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Supreme Council of Health (Bahrain)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Supreme Council of Health (Bahrain) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.sch.org.bh/en/about/who-are-we.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Matrix(!)

February 2024

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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Star Mississippi 01:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been warned multiple times about the copyright violations in your writing. As a result, you have now lost access to edit until you demonstrate an understanding of the policy and willingness to communicate with other editors about the issues with your edits. Star Mississippi 01:29, 13 February 2024 (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).

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

Request reason:

I believe in copyright, and I accept [copyright policy]

Personally, I believe it is a moral and a legal necessity to acknowledge and reference the original sources when writing articles.

As I am, unfortunately, still learning the ropes of citing or referencing material online I seem to have erred and violated wikipedia copyright policies, by not properly referencing the source.

I firmly state that I do not wish to state anyone else's work as my own.

I promise to make myself more aware of the methods of citation and referencing and I promise to avoid coypright policy infringement. Thank you.

Star_Mississippi

Decline reason:

This does not do as Star Mississippi rquested. You will need to explain what Wikipedia's licence is, what copyright is, and when/how copyrighted content may be used on Wikipedia. We must be convinced that you understand the issues here as copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy. I am declining your request, you may make another for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 09:38, 19 February 2024 (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 declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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

Request reason:

Firstly, I now understand what copyright is, more clearly. All creative works are usually copyrighted, by international agreements, and are the property of copyright owners. I cannot upload copyrighted material without authorization from the copyright owners.

Only material that is available in the public domain, and that which can be clearly and properly attributed, without infringment of copyright, can be used on Wikipedia.

The text of Wikipedia is itself copyrighted (under Berne Convention ), just like how "free" software licences are. (Earlier, I was unable to do appropriate citation and referencing. I am now getting the hang of it, and I am confident I can do it well. I firmly state that I would never like to share other people's work as my own. I am also aware that copyright violations from my side could cause problems to wikipedia, and that is why I must be extra careful).

Secondly, I am aware that Wikipedia's text and many of its images are co-licensed under (a) Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA) and under (b) GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL).

The CC by SA licence lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon my work, even commercially, as long as others credit me for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licences offered and is normally recommended for larger dissemination and greater use of licensed materials.

GFDL is a copyleft license for free documentation, designed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for the GNU Project. it gives readers the rights to copy, redistribute, and modify (except for "invariant sections") a work and requires all copies and derivatives to be available under the same license.

All creative works are copyrighted, by international agreement, unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed.

Finally, I wish to re-affirm that I now understand the issues here and I promise to respect the rights of copyright owners, and will be very careful in citing and referencing my article info, appropriately and as needed. 331dot Star Mississippi

Decline reason:

These answers are not generally correct. For example, there's no need to properly attribute public domain content. For example, you miss all of WP:FAIRUSE. For example, you seem to think that the CC by SA license is the most accommodating of licenses available; this is obviously false. For example, you seem to think all creative works are copyrighted when this is clearly false; see for example, Steamboat Willie. Yamla (talk) 12:59, 23 February 2024 (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.

Frankly, I think it's time for the reviewer to revoke talk page access. This isn't meaningfully better than the previous request which I declined. --Yamla (talk) 11:24, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Yamla (talk)

Firstly, thank you for your reply. I'm glad someone is listening. In fact, I am very happy to see your background and the amazing work you're doing on Wikipedia.

Secondly, I am not so glad to read what you've replied. I feel you are being a bit on hard on me. Of course, as you've said it yourself, on your page, without seeing your facial expressions, it's hard to tell, how hard. I am sad my appeal is not as meaningful as you'd expected it to be. Sorry. But, I am trying again. :-) Please, hear me out.

I know you wish me no harm. I wish to say the same. I wish no harm, too -- to anyone. I do not wish to steal anyone's work as my own, in any of my contributions. I wish to be a useful contributor, learning and adapting. I firmly believe that Wikipedia has become a great place to get valuable information, thanks to diligent people like you.

I hope my earlier messages, and the following words, will help clarifying my appeal for un-blocking.

Based on your earlier comments and feedback, I can say that I now understand the following :

(1) I can use content from the public domain, without attributing it (as it is not always needed) (2) I can use free-content that does not bear copyright restrictions (3) I can use non-free content as well, as long as it falls under the 'fair use' policy of the US copyright law (4) I can also use non-free content that complies with the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria (5) I can use non-free content, usually, where no free equivalent is available, or could be created for encyclopedic purposes (free encyclopedia being the aim of wikipedia) within the given policies.

Yes, I get what you mean when you refer to Steamboat Willie - the original design of Mickey Mouse from the 1928 animated short - which is now in the public domain.

So, thank you, for the knowledge.

And I really hope that you, and other administrators, will look at my appeal favourably.

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).

Request reason:

I had appealed for an unblock a couple of times, but was unsuccessful. I realized that my reasons did not seem to satisfy the administrators.

My latest unblock appeal, after a couple of previous ones, seems to have gone unnoticed.

I am grateful to the administrators for their comments, as I definitely studied more, learnt more, understood more, and can now edit better by ensuring that I make no copyright violations.

As you would see from my previous appeals, I now have a wider awareness and knowledge on copyrights, and copyright issues, especially on wikipedia.

I am now hoping that someone will look at this, and also look, especially, at my previous answers and help me get unblocked at the earliest. Thank you.
