Copyright
[edit] Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page. CrowCaw 13:35, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia. All content must be in your own words. Recent content has come from the ECGI site which specifically states its content cannot be reused. Thanks, CrowCaw 13:48, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
Copyright - Please stop
[edit]Please stop adding content copied from the ECGI site. That is a copyright violation, even if you are acting on their behalf. Continuing to add this may result in being blocked from editing, or the page locked down. If you have questions or comments about this, please ask here rather than continuously reverting.

Hello, can you please tell me how I can retrieve the page that I was working on? I work for ECGI and we are trying to update our wikipedia page. It is going to be the same information we give on our website, so could you tell me how to complete this task?

- At the moment you cannot use that content here, because it is published on the ECGI site, which states:
6. Reproduction, redistribution and transmission of any information, data or other material contained in this website is strictly prohibited without the written authorisation of the ECGI.
Wikipedia is published under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use, re-use, modify, parody, sell for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever), so any content used here must be similarly licensed. We basically allow anyone anywhere to use the content as they wish, so the restriction set out on the ECGI site is too restrictive. - If ECGI wishes to release that content under the same free license, with the understanding that it can and will be re-used freely by anyone in the world, then you need to follow the steps at WP:DCM, which will entail some private emailing to ensure that the copyright holder is in fact agreeing to the release.
- Now, even when the copyright is no linger an issue, the content itself may be edited and removed by the Wikipedia community at large; nobody owns any page nor can anyone assert control over what changes can be made. If content is deemed to be too promotional, or not conforming to the encyclopedic tone we use here, then it may be removed or changed beyond your expectations.
- Lastly, as you work for the ECGI, please read our guidelines on conflict of interest as well as policy on paid editing which requires a declaration be made if you are compensated for your edits here.
- I know this is a lot for a simple article, so I'm happy to continue to help as I can. Thanks, CrowCaw 16:25, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
- At the moment you cannot use that content here, because it is published on the ECGI site, which states:
Your submission at Articles for creation: European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) (January 10)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/AFC-Logo_Decline.svg/50px-AFC-Logo_Decline.svg.png)
- User:Vanessa.koenig/sandbox/European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
- If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
- You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Vanessa.koenig!
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! KylieTastic (talk) 17:42, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Final warning
[edit]Hi! I've deleted User:Vanessa.koenig/sandbox/European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) because you had, yet again, – despite the clear warnings you've received on this page – copy-pasted copyrighted material from the website of the institute into Wikipedia. Please understand this: if you do that again, your editing privileges may be suspended without any further warning.
Secondly, as a paid employee of the institute, you must make a proper disclosure of your paid status here, in accordance with our Terms of Use, which state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation". You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Vanessa.koenig, using the template {{Paid}} – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Vanessa.koenig|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. Please do not make any further edit relating to the institute until you have done that. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
