Hi, I did ask the author, Rick Treon for use of his website and information. I was also given a picture of him to add to the article. This whole process has been really frustrating and confusing. Thank you for your help. CelticBlue2u (talk) 04:31, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have gone through and checked my newly revamped article on Grammarly's plagiarism checker. It showed one thing was plagiarized; it is the name of the award. I cannot change that. I do have a citation for the award site. Can I have this checked before I publish it? CelticBlue2u (talk) 02:55, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright and Wikipedia

Hello CelticBlue2u! Your additions to Draft:Rick Treon 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I will not be editing anything any further on this platform. The last person falsely accused me of copying my own work from a website that I helped write. I also felt threatened by the message the person sent. If thuggery is the basis of Wikipedia, then keep it to yourself. I have no use for it. 216.221.100.162 (talk) 21:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
