Wikipedia and copyright

Hello NouvelleExpression! 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Whpq!

Last month you reviewed, and understandably deleted, an article I submitted about Canadian director, Brian Richmond. I was working with Brian to create his website, and he asked me to create a Wikipedia page. He suggested I use the same biography I helped him edit on his website for his Wikipedia page. Copyright infringement did not cross my mind! If possible, I would like to submit a new article about him for possible publishing. The notification I received says I should contact you before recreating a page about him.

The notification I received about the deleted page:

A page with this title has previously been moved or deleted.

If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below.

Thank you, NouvelleExpression (talk) 00:21, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

You can try again but need to take the following points into account:

1. If you are using the bio from the web site again, the material needs to be released under an acceptable free license. The fourth bullet point in the note above about copyright provides more information.
2. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Even if the web site bio is released under a free license, it reads like a resume and not an encyclopedia article. That will need to be fixed.
3. You state I was working with Brian to create his website, and he asked me to create a Wikipedia page. If you are being paid, then you must make a paid disclosure. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. At the very least, you have a conflict of interest and you should disclose this.
4. You may recreate the draft in your sandbox and submit it for review as you did before, but you may want to consider creating the article in draft space at Draft:Brian Richmond as that is the preferred place for AFC drafts.

Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 03:43, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

November 2023

Hello NouvelleExpression. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Brian Richmond, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:NouvelleExpression. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=NouvelleExpression|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Whpq (talk) 16:50, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
