Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 62.252.55.161! Your additions to The Cross (nightclub) 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. 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 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --   LuK3      (Talk)   12:24, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi LUK3,
 * I am Thierry, the operation Director at The Cross and work directly for Billy Reilly who instruct me to update the wikipedia as we are relauncing The Cross in September and a lot of the info on here are now dated. Can you please let me know why the text of our story keeps being deleted? This is what we currently have on our website https://www.thecrosslondon.com/
 * Thanks 62.252.55.161 (talk) 10:03, 9 August 2022 (UTC)


 * You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, free of charge and in perpetuity, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable.
 * It is also important to know that we have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself. Primary sources are acceptable only for basic facts and figures, nothing more. The bulk of source material should come from reliable sources that are independent of the company, who chose on their to write about it extensively without inducement. It is also mandatory that all submitted text is written from a plainly factual and neutral point of view.
 * Since you have a professional involvement with the company you are writing about, then you have a conflict of interest (COI). COI editors are not prohibited from contributing, but are highly discouraged to do so, due to the inherent difficulty of writing from the required neutral point of view. Please note that your company has no right of ownership or control over the article about it, and writing with the intention to promote or publicize anything or anyone is strictly prohibited. In addition, since your job sounds like a paid position with the company, then you must disclose this information per Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing policy.
 * Finally, since the account was also blocked for copyright violations with this article, I will assume that you are the same person. Editing the same article while logged out of your account will be considered sockpuppetry, which is another violation of Wikipedia policy. Instead of trying to circumvent Wikipedia's rules to edit the article, log in to your ThierryB1971 account and request an unblock. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Iggy the Swan. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Adrián (footballer), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 18:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
