Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Pbrusilovsky! Your additions to ACM SIGWEB 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. — Diannaa (talk) 21:38, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Diannaa,

I am ACM SIGWEB Chair elected by ACM SIGWEB members. It our content on sigweb.org page and it is not copyrighted by us. As creators, we believe that we can use it (besides, you can see it is not really copied, we edited it for Wikipedia purposes. At ACM SIGWEB we are really concerned that someone fights all our attempts to create a meaningful page for SIGWEB. We tried to start several times and each time different users or editors editors just cut what we do piece by piece until just a stub left again. Each time different reasons are cited but the result is the same. This time it is you and the cited reason is copyright issue, which, from our point (i.e., SIGWEB) is not a real issue it is all content created by us and placed by us on our community page. We are the authors. I understand your concerns - but please, check again whether it is valid in our case. I appreciate your time - you wrote a detailed explanations so apparently you care. Before that, things were removed and no explanations were given even. Just see the page history. Could you help is to create a page that had a chance to survive? It is really becoming frustrating. I have been editing WIkipedia for many years and engaged my students to create Wikipedia pages - at that time it is worked, but in the last few years it becomes really cruel. What can we do to get the page out? We have SIGWEB members who remembered that there was a page and asking where it is now. So I got back and tried to create it afresh...

Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. (Under current copyright law, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. In other words, all material that has been published online is copyright, whether it is marked as such or not.) Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate licensing documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organisation or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. — Diannaa (talk) 01:41, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, appreciate your new comments. In our previous attempts to create the page, it was shredded down to nothing with no meaningful feedback until only stub left. Maybe we have a hope this time. At SIGWEB we are all volunteers like you are. We are not paid by ACM or SIGWEB and they do not employ us. Pbrusilovsky (talk) 03:10, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Хаим Тевелевич Эйдус Eidus-lh.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Хаим Тевелевич Эйдус Eidus-lh.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Nomination of International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 05:24, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure why the page on International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems is marked for deletion. It is the oldest conference in a very active field of Artificial Intelligent in Education. Thousands attended this conference including many top ranked researchers. It is the real very important event. Suddently it is marked for deletion, there was no real discussion and stakeholders were not invited to be a part of it. I created this page a while ago because it was a clear hole in Wikipedia - otherwise I have no stake myself. Not a chair, not an organizer. I am a big supporter of Wikipedia, contribute money, engage students in my classes in contributing to Wikipedia, and create missing pages when I have time. But over the last few years, I am meeting very harsh reaction to all my actions and I am not sure what I can do as a community contributor, not a professional editor. Is Wikipedia still a community encyclopedia or rues has changed? Explanations what I can do would be much appreciated. Pbrusilovsky (talk) 15:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
