What is copyright?

Copyright is a way that an author uses to have all the rights to something

How is Wikipedia licensed?

Wikipedia can only allow an article to be copied if acknowledgment to the authors is included

Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?

Because it could create legal problems for wikipedia

Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?

In case the material is granted to the public domain.

How are you going to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Definitely checking sources making sure there is no copyright, also I will look for suitable and safe sources for Wikipedia. Bicontinental (talk) 19:26, 16 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Your answers are not generally correct and you haven't even answered all the questions. It's clear you don't yet understand Wikipedia's policies around copyright and fair use and I oppose your unblock at this time. --Yamla (talk) 20:51, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm also wondering if English is your primary language; you may feel more comfortable editing the version of Wikipedia that is in your primary language. 331dot (talk) 21:15, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Your answer to question 1 is incorrect. Copyright is definitely not "all the rights to something". Your answer to number 2 doesn't answer the question asked. The question is about the legal license used on Wikipedia. Your answer to number 4 is not correct. To be clear, yes, Wikipedia can use content released to the public domain, but such material is not copyrighted. Wikipedia can use other content, copyrighted content. Your answer to number 5 is strange. We aren't asking for sources, and it's all but certain you'll have to make use of copyrighted material in the future. Given all of this, it is very clear that you have no understanding of WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE and therefore we cannot unblock you at this time. --Yamla (talk) 12:31, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
