Copyright violation
Thanks for the future city stuff. Unfortunately I have had to remove it and it needs to be completely struck from the history of the page because it was a copy/paste from the report. Feel free to add it back, but only with content that paraphrases the report (i.e. in your own words, not those in the report itself) 10mmsocket (talk) 18:12, 24 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay - think the future might be a good topic to add though.
 * We noted what seems an ACT OF VANDALISM - it was reported as such. We did not add this original data.
 * The deletion of big chunk of data by someone - leaving a BIG HOLE in the section - was VANDALISM of the article - we cleaned it up so it did not look so obvious. We actually do not care that much - but this users appears to OFFER NO CONTENT while acting in a cavalier and offensive manner - as stated, it was formally reported and we intend to get the user removed from Wikipedia! 172.220.81.119 (talk) 20:56, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * WHo's that then? Me? NebY? Good luck with that! 10mmsocket (talk) 21:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Please do not remove the copyvio/core template from articles, as you did with Rochdale. Your action has been reverted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept non-free text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted, and removing copyright notices will not help your case. You can properly contest the deletion at Copyright problems. If you are the owner of the material, you may release the material under the Creative Commons and GFDL licenses, as detailed at WP:IOWN. Alternatively, you are welcome to create a draft in your own words at Talk:Rochdale/Temp. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators and/or removers of the copyright notice templates will be blocked from editing. NebY (talk) 20:37, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 172.220.81.119! Your additions to Rochdale 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 Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * 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 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 Close paraphrasing. 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.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * 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 described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Do not reinstate copyright violations; you then become responsible for the violation yourself. Thank you. NebY (talk) 20:39, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
