Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Finder999! Your additions to Dick Boer 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. Tacyarg (talk) 22:17, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I can't see quickly what you mean and exactly removed. It all sounds as if you're worried about legal aspects.I guess I copied some information from the Dutch text without copying the source. There's no reason for me to act illegal anyway, why should I. However, it's oke for me to follow your advice. Kind regards. Finder999 (talk) 21:16, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello Tacyarg, yesterday I posted an answer to your remarks but I cannot find it here anymore. Even the history of my updates seem to have been removed. The reason for all those worries and censorship? is not clear to me. Wikipedia is from all of us and the article is headed with the request to make it more complete. The only thing could have been I did forget to copy the source of the information I added about Dick Boer. Anyway, I'm not going to invest any further in this page and follow your advice. Why should I if it's not appreciated. You could overthink to recover my additions, together with the source. Or ask me to add this source. In this way we cooperate to improve the story of Ahold at least on Wikipedia. Finder999 (talk) 12:08, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
