Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Hdepayns! Your additions to Donhead Preparatory School 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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 11:28, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Donhead
Thank you for fleshing out the article on Donhead. It is clear that you want to improve the article. At the same time, by adding copyrighted material or an incorrect and copyrighted photo of "St Mary's Jesuit chapel", it is clear that your familiarity with Wikipedia needed some growing and understandably, you may not be too familiar with what Wikipedia is, it's manual of style, policies and need for verifiability. That is why I first added a link Help:Introduction at the top of this talk page when welcoming you to Wikipedia. Your recent edits to Donhead Preparatory School, both in content, phrasing, and your remarks, do not take into account what Wikipedia is. It is not a collection of random information. All information must be referenced by a secondary source. Commonality is essential for an encyclopedia, so as a rule of thumb, correct English or not, if someone does phrases something in a way that is not clear, then it needs to be reworked. Finally, there is always need for further edits, particularly in the Donhead article. It is for these reasons that your edits for the Donhead article need to be changed. I recommend reading a Good article, and noticing the choice of layout, quality of photos, phrasing and style, and seeking to replicate that quality to make the Donhead article a truly excellent one. Best of luck, happy editing! Pjposullivan (talk) 08:22, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Your edit to Collingham College has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information. ''This is now the third time you have added copyrighted material: 2 photos and the text for Donhead Preparatory School. You will be blocked the next time.''

(Cardofk) (peviously, Pjposullivan name changed to conceal identity). You may NOT remove an official warning from my talk page. This is for wikipedia records and my saftey. You have been found to have engaged in stalking behaviour by following Hdepayns contributions onto Collingham College mere hours after disrupting their unrelated contributions on Donhead Preparatory School. The edit you have removed on Collingham College has violated wikipedias policy as the image is available to public use via google. Repeatedly changing correct contributions and making false copyright claims to the same user is evidence of harassment. Wikipedia takes this behaviour very seriously and if continued, will result in the deletion of your account. I have notified the administrators of your behaviour and unfounded threat to block my account. I point you to Wikipedia talk:Stalking to educate yourself in what is appropriate behaviour on wikipedia, for the benefit of other users you may come into contact with.

Point of information: There was only one copyright photo on Donhead Preparatory School no two as Pjposullivan again falsifies. This was after mistaking it with another very similar church and the photo was quickly rectified. (talk:Hdepayns|talk]]) 12:48 (Original 12:07), 04 Nov 2021 (GMT)

Once again I would like to apologise to the wikipedia administrators for the my naive mistakes of uploading copyrighted images, one which i have now learnt from and will never happen again, and using Pjposullivan real name during my formal complaint. I will say though, the fact that Pjposullivan proceeded to change his username after the complaint, suggests the user knows his behaviour was in violations of wikipedias policy. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Kind regards,

Hdepayns


 * The name change was absolutely nothing to do with his behaviour, and he was not in violation of Wikipedia policy. You were in several ways, including accusing him of stalking based on a very old and obsolete talk page. See WP:HOUNDING which makes it clear that following an editor is perfectly ok if done for legitimate reasons. Many editors and particularly Admins to it. You are harassing him at the moment, both by using his old name and by enclosing it in brackets which notifies him - twice in the post above. He hasn't hidden anything by the way, name changes don't hide the earlier name and aren't infrequent. The former you should know not to do, the latter, repeated notifications, is probably because you don't understand the effect of what you are doing. Doug Weller  talk 14:08, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
