Hello Henrik Sundqvist, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Fairfax County, Virginia has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * 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 a cited source. 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

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. The text you inserted was copied verbatim from here:. Thank you. --hulmem (talk) 22:12, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

'Dear Mike Hulme, Thanks for letting me know how to properly edit Wikipedia pages. I am still learning. I will do my best to follow the above guidelines. You mentioned copyright violations at the end of your comment referencing this url: http://ftp.artsfairfax.org/resources/fairfaxcounty/arts-culture This copy belongs to our organization and I have written that copy. We are the designated arts agency for Fairfax County (http://artsfairfax.org) and I was trying to update the copy with current information on the arts and culture in the County. Would it be possible to send you a new version following the rules you outlined before posting to Wikipedia? I don't want to get banned, simply update and make the Wiki listing for Fairfax County better. Thank you,- Henrik Sundqvist' Henrik Sundqvist (talk) 20:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
