Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Arcanaman411, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Pixies (film) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

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. — Diannaa (talk) 13:01, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Please don't upload any more copyright images that you find online
Hello. I am Diannaa and I am an administrator on this wiki. Please don't upload any more movie posters or images that you find on the Internet or elsewhere until you are sure you understand copyright law and our non-free content criteria. Non-free images such as movie posters and still shots from films are only allowed at low resolution and under strict guidelines that help keep us in compliance with copyright law. The guideline is available at Non-free content criteria. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at FAQ/Copyright. As you can see, copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not upload any further images until you have taken the time to read and understand our policies. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:02, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Diannaa. First, I would like to thank you for making an effort to improve the pages I have been creating, such as linking the pixies page in the disambiguation section. I really appreciate that. However, I did want to discuss the copyright issues you have been raising. All of the images I have uploaded thus far are property of the owner, which is my boss. He is the owner/CEO of an animation studio and all the images I am uploading are his films and he owns all the copyrights associated with them. I assume the problem stemmed from me not linking the images to a license statement or agreement. However, I approached my boss and he did not know of any license agreements documents that he had. Therefore I just went ahead and chose the option to forgo the evidence. Is this an issue? Let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks Diannaa.--Arcanaman411 (talk) 00:15, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Frozen Kingdom Blue-ray Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Frozen Kingdom Blue-ray Cover.jpg, which you've attributed to DVD cover, from Arcana Studio. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:37, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Howard Lovecraft and The Frozen Kingdom Movie Poster.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Howard Lovecraft and The Frozen Kingdom Movie Poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:46, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Arcanaman411. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
