Quantum Break image[edit]

Hi Zakariyaismail! I just wanted to drop you a friendly note about the image you uploaded to Quantum Break. Thanks for doing that, but I notice that you listed yourself as the owner, and released it under a GNU license. This isn't the correct way to go about it - the image is owned by Remedy Entertainment, and legally is theirs to release. As a promotional image it's okay to use, of course, but the correct owner still needs to be identified. Wikipedia has to be pretty strict about these things, and images without the correct copyright information will get pulled down pretty quickly. I've replaced it now; if you're interested, have a look at the text on the image I've uploaded for an idea of how to go about it. If you've got any questions, please feel free to drop me a line, and happy editing! Euchrid (talk) 00:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Using copyrighted content on Wikipedia[edit]

Hello, Zakariyaismail. Your addition to Killzone: Shadow Fall has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. 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. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:07, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
