Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Michael D. Johnson, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. 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 the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Oh my goodness. You need to make the WP:PAID disclosure on your talk page. Even non monetary compensation, like editing for a professor, qualifies you for that. You will not be unblocked to promote your professor's career. And I'm afraid you show no indication of understanding the reason you are blocked.

You added, "what Professor Johnson wanted from his CV." That is not acceptable. Please tell Professor Johnson to please stop using Wikipedia for self promotion.

Thank you for using the Unblock Ticket Request System. I'm sorry, but I cannot unblock you at this time. This requires greater discussion than is possible via UTRS. Please concisely and clearly describe how your editing merited a block, what you would do differently, and what constructive edits you would make. Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks) As you still have access to your talk page, please post your unblock request to your user talk page, omitting any off-Wiki personally identifying information. If you have not already done so, please place the following at the bottom of your talk page, filling in "Your reason here ".

 * Actually, it would go on your user page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * In addition to not being freely licensed, CV's are by nature promotional, so not suitable in an encyclopedia. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:41, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
