Formatting help
To format Wikipedia text correctly, make sure that each new paragraph is separated by a double space, as one would do in an e-mail. Also, make sure that new paragraphs start flush to the left. If they do not start flush left, the formatting will be completely ruined and you will get the effect you see on your first attempts.

I hope this is helpful. The best way to go about editing is to notice how things are already formatted and follow that.

Here are a few Help Links. Softlavender (talk) 09:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Interpreting Chopin&
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Interpreting Chopin&, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://info-poland.buffalo.edu/classroom/chopin/AL.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 23:09, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Interpreting Chopin's music


A tag has been placed on Interpreting Chopin's music requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://info-poland.buffalo.edu/classroom/chopin/AL.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Regarding copyright
Hi, I saw the new page you created about your issues with copyright. The page on donating text has some instructions that may help you.

Copyright
Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. Not only was the page not marked as PD, but it stated © Angela Lear - posted with permission and '''© 2000 Polish Academic Information Center, University at Buffalo. All rights reserved'''. Even your posting oon Wikipedia carried a copyright claim for you. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too unsuitable to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
