Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
Hello Tiadeeharrison, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Bioelectricity have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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 sources to avoid copyright and 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 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. (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 the 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.
- 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 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.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:56, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Re: Copyright issues, any help in clarification would be appreciated[edit]
Greetings Diana,
Thank you for enlightening me of some of my errors, as I am new to this and the page I am working on is not public yet (due to the fact that it is still a work in progress, as I am still learning the correct methods). I do apologize for any mistakes I have made. I want to assure you that I have permission from all the authors of the work to post their work and errors that have been made, have been made because I am new to this and not because I am trying to steal anyone's work. It appears that there is an issue with all of the images/files that I posted on the page, as they have been removed. I want to make sure I correct my understanding before I make any further edits. I have identified two possible things that I have made mistakes on, in which perhaps you can help clarify for me. 1.) The legends/description of the images. I had originally taken the text from the images from the source that it was with, as each file was attributed to the author and I thought that their words would best describe their image. Is it alright if I put their entire description in double quote's or should I paraphrase the whole description? Also, for the file:images, I don't typically see a reference section, but should I include one? 2.) I thought I had picked the right permission for the files:images, but perhaps I was wrong. It was my understanding that information printed in a scientific journal was under "Public Domain". Is this wrong? And with the Public Domain free licensing, do I need to do something additional that I have not seen to do?
Thank you very much for any clarification that you might be able to lend. I plan to not post anything else until I am sure that I properly understand the rules, as I certainly don't want to do incorrect work or be blocked from editing.
Sincerely, Tia

I notice that User:Tiadeeharrison's editing history picks up, chronologically, where User:Christina.Dee.Harrison left off. I assume these two account are related? -- RoySmith (talk) 22:12, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
