Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Ian.Collard10, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Collard Greens & Gravy have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 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. (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 the 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 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 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.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also 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. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:28, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Collard Greens and Gravy 20 year anniversary

Let's talk
Hey Ian, I won't be available for many hours, but I'm noticing that there appears to be an escalating problem here and I suspect you are at risk of being blocked soon if you don't slow down and communicate with your fellow editors here to reach consensus on the changes you want. If you want, I can try to help you through all this by talking you through these issues and orienting you to this new environment, either here on your talk page or via email. It's up to you.

As I said, however, I won't be available for many hours, so you will need to stop and wait for my response if so. Fortunately, there is no rush here, so you don't need to panic or repeatedly restore your changes (that's called "edit warring" and is a swift path to enforced edit restrictions). We can work together,, to improve the article on what I will assume in good faith to be the band you're in. Persisting along this path you seem to be going is probably going to result in you being forcibly excluded from the process, though, so it's in your interest to work with others here if you want to participate in shaping articles about you and your activities.

I am not an administrator, so I cannot enact any such restrictions. Given the messages you have received above, however, I suspect some are now monitoring the situation. Hopefully, you stop and start collaborating with the editors here. If not, then you may not be here for the right reasons, in which case I'm not sure anything I can say will help.

If you're interested in working through all this, then it may be worth your while to look over the following documentation while you wait:


 * Notable person survival kit
 * Conflict of interest
 * Autobiography
 * Contact us - Subjects
 * Biographies of living persons/Help

I hope this will give you a better understanding of why editors are behaving the ways you have encountered. I look forward to whatever response you may have. If there is one, I will be sure to reply next time I'm available. By the way, welcome to Wikipedia! —Nøkkenbuer (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2018 (UTC); last edited at 13:49, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
