User talk:Infosahiyo

March 2018
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:36, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Infosahiyo, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Sahiyo 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) 17:40, 10 March 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 20:02, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Discussion wholly unrelated to unblock request but still of concern-- WP:COI or WP:PAID
Although the reason for the block is for a username change, the fact that you added copyrighted (and thus promotional in tone) content suggests a WP:conflict of interest between your role as an editor and as an advocate for or an employee of Sahiyo. Such a conflict of interest can cloud your editorial judgement and prevent you from seeing the non objective nature of your edits. (I have been in that situation in the past.) Please read our policy on paid editing and the required paid-contribution disclosure. This applies to any compensation or consideration, not just a salary or paycheck or stipend. Also, please be aware that the website of a company is not a reliable source and is often non neutral. The use of content from such is therefore somewhat limited.--Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I will keep this in mind. I am not an employee, nor am I paid in any way by this organisation. I am simply a volunteer who believes in their cause. The current page has multiple errors in it and typos that I would like to fix. I will reference more external sources and minimise the content from the NGO's website. Thank you once again for making me aware of this, I will try to stay as neutral and close to the facts as I can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Infosahiyo (talk • contribs) 21:39, 10 March 2018  (UTC)
 * Have you read our copyright policy? Please comment on your understanding of copyright law and how it applies to editing Wikipedia. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:03, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I have unblocked your account so that you can request a change of username. Please do this immediately. Also, please note it's not okay to copy material from other websites; it's a violation of copyright law and the copyright policy of this website to do so. Everything you add here needs to be written in your own words. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:04, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Please visit Changing username for information on changing your username. Please do this in the next few days, or I will re-block your account. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 02:48, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I have re-blocked this account, since you have to date not applied for a re-name. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:27, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
