User:DESiegel/copied content

Wikipedia cannot and will not accept copyrighted content copied from elsewhere. Only content that is in the public domain, or has been released by the copyright owner under a CC-BY-SA license or a compatible free license may be copied, and even those must be properly attributed, and may not be suitable. See Wikipedia's copyright policy for more information.

Brief quotations may be used if they are properly attributed, marked as quotations, and cited to a reliable source. See Quotations for more details on this.

If a text or image belongs to you (usually because you created it) belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have the owner's permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you might obtain it.

Please, in future do not copy content from other websites to insert into Wikipedia. Facts must be supported by reliable sources, but article content must be written in your own original words. Repeatedly inserting copyrighted content in ways not allowed by Wikipedia policy can lead to a user being blocked from editing.
