Avoiding copyright problems[edit]

Hello, and welcome. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia: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 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.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in 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. Jim1138 (talk) 05:09, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Kruti338". The reason given for Kruti338's block is: "Disruptive editing".


Decline reason: Given the contributions from both accounts and the fact that both usernames contain "338", this is obviously either a sockpuppet/meatpuppet account. Blocked directly. Kinu t/c 06:59, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Talk:Fleet Management Limited[edit]

Hello Mansi338, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Talk:Fleet Management Limited, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not a valid CSD for the talkpage of an article. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 09:47, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The editor (who was in fact the original author, rather than a new page patroller) may have been intending to have the article (rather than the talk page) deleted. It appears that most or all of it was a copyvio, so the author may have decided that (s)he can't produce anything meaningful in his own words. (S)he can't tag any more articles, as (s)he's blocked, but can still answer here. - David Biddulph (talk) 10:33, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
