Wikipedia and copyright
Hello DisketteFox! Your additions to MAX (operating system) 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Aoidh (talk) 07:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello Aoidh, as you can see, I am new to wikipedia. I have been translating for a while, but as I saw that there was no information about MaX in Wikipedia, I decided to make a new article in the Spanish Wikipedia and then I will also transfer it to the English Wikipedia. As I don't know perfectly how to make a well written Wikipedia article, I have done it taking structures from other operating systems pages in wikipedia. I will try to keep only the relevant information, and thanks for the advice. DisketteFox (talk) 07:59, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you saying you copied the information from the Spanish Wikipedia article and brought it over to the English Wikipedia article? In that case you would just need to follow Help:Translation, namely the "License requirements" section. Parts of what you copied over appears to have been copied directly from the MaX website (specifically in sections that are not CC-BY-SA licensed), so when I searched for a comparison it matched; I thought you had copied it from the MaX website rather than from Wikipedia, but it looks like what's on es.wikipedia is possibly a copyvio that may need to be addressed there. I think if you take the sources and reword the content into your own words it should be fine, the issue was that it was a copy-paste of an external link's content, and if you have any questions feel free to ping me or leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - Aoidh (talk) 08:04, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
