Wikipedia and copyright
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! – Þjarkur (talk) 15:58, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Help me! Please be specific about your copyright admonition.
What do you think I used that was copyrighted? I know of nothing other than what I wrote based upon my research of non copyrighted material. Please help me with...

 * This IP has 2 contributions and one of them is the edit that you did here. The copyrighted material added would be the essay you pasted on the bottom of Thomas Lincoln. If you want to donate copyrighted material see WP:DCM. Pinging as he left the original copyright notice. Kb03 (talk) 14:03, 7 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello Richard! Your edit to Thomas Lincoln included an essay that had already been published elsewhere. New users often copy-and-paste copyrighted text to articles, which we have to revert if it isn't clear that the original author has given permission for its usage. We would of course welcome it if you wanted to donate your essay and allow it to be republished here and changed by other users, to do so you can read the instructions at Donating copyrighted materials or you can send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. If you don't want your essay to become incorporated into the surrounding text and changed by other users, you could also just add a link to your essay down at the bottom of the article.
 * If you go to "View history" on the article you can see your old changes and continue working on them, I noticed you made some improvements to the article itself, but it didn't mention where the information came from. You can see the tutorial on how to add citations, if you're citing a website or a journal adding citations can be very easy or even automatic.
 * I know Wikipedia can seem incredibly convoluted, but that's only at first. We'd very much welcome having someone knowledgeable like you continuing on improving articles with us. – Þjarkur (talk) 14:26, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Even if it were released under an appropriate license, rarely is text copied wholesale from elsewhere appropriate in an article. Content must be a summary of what independent reliable sources say. Praxidicae (talk) 17:29, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Help me!
I don't understand your response. This is a summary of a larger article that I have prepared for publication elsewhere. I hold copyright. What is the problem?

Help me!
What difference does it make that I used my own writing to make this post. Why will you not add the material?
